Psalms 97
1 The Lord reigns! Let the earth be glad, and distant lands be full of joy!
Kasakkung: panuekhoeh BAWIPA ni a uk, talai lunghawi seh. Tuilumnaw hai lunghawi awh naseh.
2 He is surrounded by clouds and thick darkness; his throne is founded on justice and right.
Tâmai hoi hmonae ni a ramuk teh, lannae hoi kângingnae teh a bawitungkhung a kamtuenae doeh.
3 Flames proceed him, burning up his enemies on every side.
A hmalah hmai a cei teh, ka kalup e tarannaw teh a kak awh.
4 His flashes of lightning light up the world; the earth watches and trembles.
Sumpapalik ni talai a ang sak teh, talai ni a hmu toteh a pâyaw.
5 The mountains melt like wax in the presence of the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.
Monnaw pueng teh BAWIPA hmalah, talai van pueng teh Bawipa hmalah khoilai patetlah koung a kamyawt.
6 The heavens proclaim his goodness; everyone sees his glory.
Kalvan ni a lannae hah a pâpho teh, tami pueng ni a bawilennae hah a hmu awh.
7 All those who worship idols are humiliated, those who are proud of their idols—for all “gods” bow down before him.
Meikaphawk thaw ka tawk e pueng, ayawmyin dawk kakâoupnaw pueng teh, kaya laihoi awm awh naseh, cathutnaw pueng ama teh bawk awh haw.
8 Jerusalem hears this and celebrates; all the towns of Judah are happy because of your judgments, Lord.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Oe BAWIPA nange lawkcengnae dawkvah, Zion a lunghawi teh Judah canunaw hai a konawm awh.
9 For you, Lord, are the highest of all, ruling over the whole earth; your position is far above any other god.
Oe BAWIPA, nang teh talai van pueng hlak a lathueng poung lah na o. Cathut pueng lathueng vah tawm lah na o.
10 You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of those who are faithful to him, and saves them from the power of wicked people.
Nangmouh Cathut lungpataw naw, kathoute hah panuet awh nateh, ama ni a tamikathoungnaw e hringnae hah a khetyawt teh, tamikathoutnaw e kut dawk hoi a rungngang.
11 Light shines on those who do good, giving joy to those who live right.
Tamikalannaw koe a ang teh lungthin kalannaw koe konawmnae teh ouk a pha.
12 Be happy in the Lord, you who do right, and thank him for his holy nature!
Nangmouh tami kalannaw, BAWIPA koe konawm awh haw. A min kathoung hah pholen awh.
