Psalms 74
1 Maschil of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast us off for ever? Why doth Thine anger smoke against the flock of Thy pasture?
Aw Khawsa, kawtih kumqui dyna nani qoek khqi? Ikawtih na qamno a sainaak awhkaw tuukhqik khan awh nak kaw a so aih.
2 Remember Thy congregation, which Thou hast gotten of old, which Thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of Thine inheritance; and mount Zion, wherein Thou hast dwelt.
Ak kqym awhkaw thlang nak thlaihkhqi, namah ing tlan hyk ti, nang a qo ak pang thlangkhqi na awmnaak Zion tlang ce poek cang lah thoeih ti.
3 Lift up Thy steps because of the perpetual ruins, even all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
Vawhkaw kumqui dy ak plawcikhqi, na hun ciim awh na qaalkhqi ing a hawlaw vawhkaw seetnaak boeih benna nak kaw hawi lah.
4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of Thy meeting-place; they have set up their own signs for signs.
Nang ing kaimih na ning hqumnaak hun awh na qaalkhqi ing khy am kqang unawh; a mimah ang dyih hun simhatnaak ce ling uhy.
5 It seemed as when men wield upwards axes in a thicket of trees.
Kqawng thing ak ding khyng ce hqaica ing a hlam sih amyihna awm uhy.
6 And now all the carved work thereof together they strike down with hatchet and hammers.
Kut ing ami suk biit biit ik-oeihkhqi boeih hqaica ing deh pheng uhy.
7 They have set Thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling-place of Thy name even to the ground.
Na hun ciim ce dawi unawh tluk sak uhy; Nang ming a awmnaak hun ce tyih awm sak uhy.
8 They said in their heart: 'Let us make havoc of them altogether'; they have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
Ak kawk khuiawh, “A cuna nawi hoem u sih!” ti uhy. Qam khui awhkaw Khawsa bawknaak imkhqi boeih ce dawi uhy.
9 We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
Kawpoek kyi hatnaak kaimih a venawh ikawmyih awm am awm hy; tawnghakhqi awm am awm voel hawh nawh, handy nu vemyihna a awm khing kaw tice u ingawm am sim hy.
10 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme Thy name for ever?
Aw Khawsa, handy awh nu na qaalkhqi ing anik kqawn set kaw? anik qaalnaak ing nang ming ce kqawn seet hly let hawh unawh nu?
11 Why withdrawest Thou Thy hand, even Thy right hand? Draw it out of Thy bosom and consume them.
Ikawtih nak tang kut ben ce nak dawh tlaih? Na hibai ak khui awhkawng na kut ce soeng nawhtaw cekkhqi ce him hlah.
12 Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Cehlai, Aw Khawsa nang taw ak kqym awhkawng kai a sangpahrang na awm hyk ti; nang ing khawmdek awh hulnaak hawlaw hyk ti.
13 Thou didst break the sea in pieces by Thy strength; Thou didst shatter the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
Nang ing ni tuicunli ce nak thaawmnaak ing pek a bo nawh, tui khuiawh ak awm qaihkhqui a lukhqi ce kqek pe sak hyk ti.
14 Thou didst crush the heads of leviathan, Thou gavest him to be food to the folk inhabiting the wilderness.
Nang ing ni Leviathan a lukhqi ve vyk pe kqek kqek nawh qamkoh awhkaw qamsa ham buh na be hyk ti.
15 Thou didst cleave fountain and brook; Thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.
Nang ing ni tui bym ingkaw lawngca tuikhqi phyt sak nawh; lawngnu tuipakhqi awm kak sak qup qup hyk ti.
16 Thine is the day, Thine also the night; Thou hast established luminary and sun.
Khawkdai ve nang a koena awm nawh, khawmthan awm nang a koe ni; nang ing khawmik ingkaw pihla ce sai hyk ti.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; Thou hast made summer and winter.
Nang ing ni khawmdek awhkaw a qi a mawngkhqi boeih na syn hy; khawhqai ingkaw chikca awm sai hyk ti.
18 Remember this, how the enemy hath reproached the LORD, and how a base people have blasphemed Thy name.
Aw Bawipa, na qaal ing ikawmyihna ani thenaak tice sim loet lah, thlakqawkhqi ing nang ming ami seet ami bat ce.
19 O deliver not the soul of Thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the life of Thy poor for ever.
Na kqukkqu a hqingnaak ce qam sak tlungkhqi venawh koeh pe; namah a khawdeng khuikha thlangkhqi a hqingnaak kumqui dyna koeh hilh.
20 Look upon the covenant; for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
Na paipi ce sim lah, kawtih khawboe seetnaak ing qam khui awhkaw thannaak boeih ce sing hawh hy.
21 O let not the oppressed turn back in confusion; let the poor and needy praise Thy name.
Ak khuikha thlangkhqi ak kawboet ce sing hawh hy, khawdengkhqi ingkaw ak voethlauhkhqi ing nang ming ce kyihcah lah u seh.
22 Arise, O God, plead Thine own cause; remember Thy reproach all the day at the hand of the base man.
Aw Khawsa, hang dyi nawhtaw na ik-oeih sai ce hul lah; thlakqawkhqi ing a poepa na ani thenaak ce sim loet lah.
23 Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries, the tumult of those that rise up against Thee which ascendeth continually.
Na qaalkhqi a tym awi ce ang ngai ngak kana koeh awm, a boet kana ak khy ak kqang na qaalkhqi ak awi ce.
