Psalms 78
1 A Psalme to give instruction committed to Asaph. Heare my doctrine, O my people: incline your eares vnto the wordes of my mouth.
Aw kak thlangkhqi aw, ka ni cawngpyinaak ve ngai lah uh; kam kha awhkaw awi ve ngai lah uh.
2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will declare high sentences of olde.
Nyhtahnaak ing kam kha awng kawng nyng saw, syn awhkaw ik-oeih, ang hyp ik-oeihkhqi ce kqawn law kawng.
3 Which we haue heard and knowen, and our fathers haue tolde vs.
Ningmih ing ning za nawh ni huhkhqi ve, ni pakhqi ing amik kqawn law ce ni.
4 Wee will not hide them from their children but to the generation to come we wil shewe the praises of the Lord his power also, and his wonderful woorkes that he hath done:
A cakhqi venawh am nik phah pe hlyk khqi hy, ak law hly kawi cadilkhqi venawh Bawipa am kyihcah hly kawi ik-oeih saikhqi, amah ak tha awmnaak, kawpoek kyi ik-oeih a saikhqi ce nik kqawn pe patoe kaw.
5 How he established a testimonie in Iaakob, and ordeined a Law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they shoulde teache their children:
Jacob aham a hquut hly kawi awi ce pe nawh Israelkhqi anglakawh anaa awi ce caksak hy, cawhkaw anaa awi ce ningnih a pa venawh a cakhqi ami cawng sak patoe aham pehy,
6 That the posteritie might knowe it, and the children, which should be borne, should stand vp, and declare it to their children:
ak law hly kawi cadil naasenkhqi ing, ak thang hly kawi naasenkhqi ingawm sim unawh, a cadilkhqi venawh ak kqawn pek patoe aham pehy.
7 That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the workes of God but keepe his commandements:
Cawhtaw Khawsa ce ypna kawm usaw a ik-oeih saikhqi ce am hilh voel ti kawm uh, ak awi peekkhqi ce hquut hawh kawm uh.
8 And not to bee as their fathers, a disobedient and rebellious generation: a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirite was not faithfull vnto God.
Cekkhqi taw ami pahqamkhqi amyihna am awm kawm uh - kaw ak tiing ingkaw ak oelh taih, Khawsa venawh kawlung amak cak thlangkhqi ingkaw aming myihlakhqi awm a venawh ypawm na am awm uhy.
9 The children of Ephraim being armed and shooting with the bowe, turned backe in the day of battell.
Ephraim thlangkhqi ce, li pawm mai u seiawm, qaltuknaak nyn awhtaw a huna hlat tlaih uhy.
10 They kept not the couenant of God, but refused to walke in his Lawe,
Khawsa a paipi ce am ha na unawh a anaa awi a peek amyihna awm am sai uhy.
11 And forgate his Actes, and his wonderfull woorkes that he had shewed them.
Kawpoek kyi ik-oeih a mingmih a venawh ang dang peek sak ce hilh uhy.
12 Hee did marueilous thinges in the sight of their fathers in the lande of Egypt: euen in the fielde of Zoan.
Izip qam zan khaw awh ami pahqamkhqi mik huh awh kawpoek kyi ik-oeih ce sai pehy.
13 He deuided the Sea, and led them through: he made also the waters to stand as an heape.
Tuncunli ce pak khih na hqe phuk nawh lan hqawng awh cekkhqi ce sawi hy; tui ce ip bang amyihna dyih sak hy.
14 In the day time also hee led them with a cloude, and all the night with a light of fire.
Dai awh cingmai ing sawi nawh than zung awh maivang ing sawi hy.
15 He claue the rockes in the wildernes, and gaue them drinke as of the great depths.
Qamkoh awh lungnu ce can sak nawh tuicunli zah tui ce khawzah pehy;
16 He brought floods also out of the stonie rocke; so that hee made the waters to descend like the riuers.
Lungnu ak kqek awhkawng tui phyt sak nawh lawngnu amyihna lawng sak hy.
17 Yet they sinned stil against him, and prouoked the Highest in the wildernesse,
Cehlai cekkhqi ing ak khan awh thawlh bak bak hyn uhy, Sawsang Soeih ce qamkoh awh oelh sih hyn uhy.
18 And tempted God in their heartes in requiring meate for their lust.
A mimah ak phoen cawih a sitnaak qungna Khawsa ce noek a dak uhy.
19 They spake against God also, saying, Can God prepare a table in the wildernesse?
Khawsa oelh doena, “Qamkoh awh Khawsa ing caboei dawn law hly tang nawh nu?
20 Behold, he smote the rocke, that the water gushed out, and the streames ouerflowed: can hee giue bread also? or prepare flesh for his people?
Lungnu a vyk awh, tui cawn law nawh tui khawzah lawngca tuina lawng hy. Buh awm ni pe hly thai bai nawh nu? Ak thlangkhqi meh ak ai hly sak thai tang lawt nu?” ti uhy.
21 Therefore the Lord heard and was angrie, and the fire was kindled in Iaakob, and also wrath came vpon Israel,
Bawipa ing ce ak awi ce ang zaak awh, ak kaw so hy; Jacob ak khan awh mai kqawng sak nawh, Israel ak khan awh ak kawsonaak ce pha hy.
22 Because they beleeued not in God, and trusted not in his helpe.
Cekkhqi ing Khawsa ce ap cang na unawh a hulnaak awm ap cangna uhy.
23 Yet he had comanded the clouds aboue, and had opened the doores of heauen,
Cehlai khan khawnghi ce awi pe nawh khan chawmkeng ce awng sak hy;
24 And had rained downe MAN vpon them for to eate, and had giuen them of the wheate of heauen.
cekkhqi ing ami ai ham manna ce khaw na aa sak hy, khan nakawng buh ce pehy.
25 Man did eate the bread of Angels: hee sent them meate ynough.
Khan ceityih a muk ce ai unawh; ami ai thai khuina buh ce pek khqi boeih hy.
26 He caused the Eastwinde to passe in the heauen, and through his power he brought in the Southwinde.
Khan nakawng khawlaw ben khawhli ce hlah pe nawh ak thaawmnaak ing a hawt ben nakaw khaw ce hli pe sak bai hy.
27 Hee rained flesh also vpon them as dust, and feathered foule as the sand of the sea.
Dekvai amyihna meh ce khaw na tlan pe sak hy, tuicunli a keng awhkaw dizui amyihna pha ce ding pe sak hy.
28 And hee made it fall in the middes of their campe euen round about their habitations.
Ami awmnaak hi ipkhuikhqi na tlak pe sak nawh, hi im a ceng a awm awh awm pe sak kyng hy.
29 So they did eate and were well filled: for he gaue them their desire.
Ami hym ami ngaih ce a peek khqi hawh a dawngawh, a mingmih ing ami phyi aawk dyna ai uhy.
30 They were not turned from their lust, but the meate was yet in their mouthes,
Cehlai ami hym buh zani ami cehtaak hlanawh, amim kha awh ami pem hui awh;
31 When the wrath of God came euen vpon them, and slew the strongest of them, and smote downe the chosen men in Israel.
Khawsak kawsonaak ce cekkhqik khan awh pha hy; cekkhqik khuiawh tha ak awm soeih khqi ce thih pe sak nawh Israel cadawngkhqi ce him pek khqi hy.
32 For all this, they sinned stil, and beleeued not his wonderous woorkes.
Vemyihna awm bai seiawm thawlh bak bak hyn uhy; kawpoek kyi ik-oeih a sai pek khqi awh awm ap cang na bak bak hyn uhy.
33 Therefore their daies did hee consume in vanitie, and their yeeres hastily.
Cedawngawh cekkhqi a khawnghi ce a sawhqat na boeih pe sak khqi nawh kum khqi ce kqih awmnaak ing boeih pe sak hy.
34 And when hee slewe them, they sought him and they returned, and sought God earely.
Khawsa ing cekkhqi ce ahim qit awh amah ce sui uhy; cawhtaw amah a venna hlat tlaih uhy.
35 And they remembred that God was their strength, and the most high God their redeemer.
Khawsa taw a mimah a Lungnu ni tice sim unawh Sawsang soeih Khawsa taw a mingmih a hulkung ni tice sim uhy.
36 But they flattered him with their mouth, and dissembled with him with their tongue.
Cehlai amim kha hqoeng ing amah ce kyihcah unawh, amim lai ing a venawh ami qaai kqawn uhy;
37 For their heart was not vpright with him: neither were they faithfull in his couenant.
a venawh amik kawlung am cak hy, a paipi sai awh ypawm na am awm uhy.
38 Yet he being merciful forgaue their iniquitie, and destroied them not, but oft times called backe his anger, and did not stirre vp all his wrath.
Cehlai anih taw qeennaak ing a be a dawngawh; cekkhqi a thawlh ce qeenkhaw ngai pe nawh cekkhqi ce am hqe hy. Ak kawsonaak ce yh ngahngah nawh ak kawso a benaak amyihna am dang sak hy.
39 For he remembered that they were flesh: yea, a winde that passeth and commeth not againe.
Cekkhqi taw pumsa, amak hlat voel hawh zilh mai ni, tice amah ing sim hy.
40 How oft did they prouoke him in the wildernes? and grieue him in the desert?
Qamkoh awh iqyt dy nu oelh unawh kqawnghu awh iqyt nu ak kaw ami seet sak ce!
41 Yea, they returned, and tempted God, and limited the Holie one of Israel.
Khawsa ce noek a dak khawthai uhy; Israelkhqi a thlakciim ce yng sak uhy.
42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he deliuered them from the enemie,
Ak thaawmnaak ce am sim qoe uhy – a mingmih ak thekhanaak thlangkhqi kut khui awhkawng a hulnaak ce.
43 Nor him that set his signes in Egypt, and his wonders in the fielde of Zoan,
Izip qam awhkaw poek kyi hatnaak ang dang sak khqi ingkaw zoan hun awhkaw ngaihkyi ik-oeih a saikhqi ce.
44 And turned their riuers into blood, and their floods, that they could not drinke.
Lawngnukhqi ce thi na ang coeng sak a dawngawh; lawngca tuikhqi ce am aw thai voel uhy.
45 Hee sent a swarme of flies among them, which deuoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.
A mingmih ak cuui aham pi hlah pek khqi khawng hak nawh, a mingmih hqe aham uphyihkhqi tyih pehy.
46 He gaue also their fruites vnto the caterpiller, and their labour vnto the grassehopper.
Ami locangkhqi ce khamkhokkhqi venawh pe nawh, ami bibinaak khqi ce khamkhawk peek pehy.
47 He destroied their vines with haile, and their wilde figge trees with the hailestone.
Misur a thingkhqi ce qeel ing him pe nawh thaikungkhqi awm qawhnu ing him pehy.
48 He gaue their cattell also to the haile, and their flockes to the thunderboltes.
Amik khqintaikhqi awm qeel ing him pe nawh, vawk a ai amim cahkhqi awm kqek mai a venawh peek pehy.
49 Hee cast vpon them the fiercenesse of his anger, indignation and wrath, and vexation by the sending out of euill Angels.
Cekhqik khan awh ak kaw a hlawknaak ce am dawk qoe voel hy, ak kawsonaak, yh thai na amak awm voel kawsonaak ingkaw ak kaw ama lawnaak awh - a mingmih him aham khan ceityih hloep oet ce tyih pehy.
50 He made a way to his anger: he spared not their soule from death, but gaue their life to the pestilence,
A kawsonaak ham a lam ce qoek a bah nawh; cekkhqi ce thihnaak awhkawng am hlyn kana tlawh che a venawh cekkhqi ce pehy.
51 And smote al the firstborne in Egypt, euen the beginning of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham.
Izipkhqi ak caming boeih him pehy, Ham ipkhui awh ak awm thlanghqing ak thaih cyk khqi ce him pe boeih hy.
52 But hee made his people to goe out like sheepe, and led them in the wildernes like a flocke.
Cehlai, ak thlangkhqi cetaw tuuk kqeng amyihna khai nawh; qamkoh awhkaw tuu amyihna sawi poe hy.
53 Yea, he caried them out safely, and they feared not, and the Sea couered their enemies.
Syngyp cana a sawi dawngawh cekkhqi ing ap kqih uhy; Cehlai a qalkhqi cetaw tuicunli ing sing pe malh hy.
54 And he brought them vnto the borders of his Sanctuarie: euen to this Mountaine, which his right hand purchased.
Cemyihna cekkhqi ce qam ciim a khawqi dyna sawi khqi nawh, ak tangkut ing a lawh tlang qam dyna sawi khqi hy.
55 He cast out the heathe also before them, and caused them to fall to the lot of his inheritance, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.
Cekkhqi haiawh pilnam thlangkhqi ce hqek pek khqi nawh ce a qam ce cekkhqi venawh qo na pang sak khqi nawh: cekhqi a im awh Israelkhqi ce pah sak khqi hy.
56 Yet they tempted, and prouoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies,
Cehlai cekhqi ing Khawsa ce noek a dak unawh Sawsang Soeih ce oelh unawh; ak awipeek ce am hquut uhy.
57 But turned backe and delt falsely like their fathers: they turned like a deceitfull bowe.
Ami pakhqi mih baina ypawm na ami awm kaana cangnaak awm am ta uhy, ypnaak amak cu la amyihna hlat uhy.
58 And they prouoked him to anger with their high places, and mooued him to wrath with their grauen images.
Hun sangkhqi sai unawh ak kaw so sak unawh; myi bawknaak ing tlai seet sak uhy.
59 God heard this and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel,
Cekhqi ce Khawsa ing ang zaak awh, ak kaw so soeih hy; cedawngawh Israel ce qoeng bang tlang hy.
60 So that hee forsooke the habitation of Shilo, euen the Tabernacle where hee dwelt among men,
Shiloh awh thlang khqing lak awh ang dyih sak hi im awm cehta hy.
61 And deliuered his power into captiuitie, and his beautie into the enemies hand.
Ak tha awmnaak bawm ce tamna na khum sak nawh, a boeimangnaak ce qaal a kut awh pehy.
62 And hee gaue vp his people to the sworde, and was angrie with his inheritance.
Ak thlangkhqi ce zawzi ing him aham pe nawh; a qo ak pang hly khqik khan awh ak kawso soeih hy.
63 The fire deuoured their chosen men, and their maides were not praised.
A tawngpalangkhqi ce mai ing daih pek khqi boeih nawh a nulakhqi ing zulawh vataaknaak a laa am sa voel uhy;
64 Their Priestes fell by the sworde, and their widowes lamented not.
A khawsoeihkhqi awm zawzi ing thi unawh, nulakhqi awm am kqang hqa voel uhy.
65 But the Lord awaked as one out of sleepe, and as a strong man that after his wine crieth out,
Cawhtaw zu ak qui a caih amyihna, Bawipa ce a ihnaak awhkawng hqyng law hy.
66 And smote his enemies in the hinder parts, and put them to a perpetuall shame.
A qaalkhqi ce tuk pe pheng nawh; kumqui dy awh chah qai phyikawt na tahy.
67 Yet he refused the tabernacle of Ioseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
Cek cong awhtaw Joseph a hi im ce qoeng nawh, Epharaim a phun awm ap tyk voel hy;
68 But chose the tribe of Iudah, and mount Zion which he loued.
Cehlai Judah phun, Zion tlang, amah ing a lungnaak ce tyk hy.
69 And he built his Sanctuarie as an high palace, like the earth, which he stablished for euer.
Amah ing khawmdek kumqui dy a caksak amyihna, amah cawh hun ciim ce ak sang soeih na sa hy.
70 He chose Dauid also his seruant, and tooke him from the shepefolds.
A tyihzawih David ce tyk nawh tuu a ip khui awhkawng dawk hy;
71 Euen from behinde the ewes with yong brought he him to feede his people in Iaakob, and his inheritance in Israel.
Tuu ak khainaak kung awhkawng hawlaw nawh ak thlang Jacob, a qo pang Israel ce tuu ak khaikung na tahy.
72 So he fed them according to the simplicitie of his heart, and guided them by the discretion of his hands.
David ing cekhqi ce kawlung dyngnaak ing qym hy; a kut suinaak ing cekhqi ce khai hy.
