< Psalms 115 >
1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your mercy, and for your truth’s sake.
Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Oe BAWIPA, na lungmanae hoi na lawkkatang kecu dawkvah, na bawilennae teh kaimouh koe laipalah, na min dawkvah awm lawiseh.
2 Why should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
Bangkong mouh Jentelnaw niyah, ahnimae Cathut teh nâmouh ao ati awh va.
3 But our God is in the heavens: he has done whatever he has pleased.
Maimae Cathut teh kalvan vah ao teh, a ngai e pueng hah ouk a sak.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
Ahnimae meikaphawknaw teh sui hoi ngun lah ao awh teh, kut hoi sak e lah ao awh.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
Pahni a tawn awh ei, lawk dei thai hoeh. Mit a tawn awh ei, hmawt thai hoeh.
6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
Hnâ a tawn awh ei, thai awh hoeh. Hnawng a tawn awh ei, hmui thai awh hoeh.
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
Kut a tawn awh ei, banghai tek thai awh hoeh. Khok a tawn awh ei, cet thai awh hoeh. Hotnaw e lawkron dawk hoi lawk tâcawt hoeh.
8 They that make them are like to them; so is every one that trusts in them.
Hotnaw kasakkung teh a sak awh e hoi doeh a kâvan awh. Hotnaw kâuep e hai sue touh lah a kâvan awh.
9 O Israel, trust you in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
Oe Isarel, BAWIPA hah kâuep haw. Ahni teh nangmouh na kabawmkung hoi kângue e bahling doeh.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
Oe Aron imthungnaw, BAWIPA hah kâuep awh. Ahni teh nangmouh kabawmkung hoi kânguenae bahling doeh.
11 You that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
Nangmouh BAWIPA ka taket e naw, BAWIPA hah kâuep awh haw. Ahni teh nangmouh kabawmkung hoi kânguenae bahling doeh.
12 The LORD has been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
BAWIPA ni pou na panue teh, yawhawi na poe han. Isarel imthung hai yawhawi a poe vaiteh, Aron imthung hai yawhawi a poe han.
13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
BAWIPA ka taket e teh, tami kalen kathoung yawhawi a poe han.
14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
Namamouh hoi na canaw khuehoi BAWIPA ni hoehoe na pung sak naseh.
15 You are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
Talai hoi kalvan kasakkung BAWIPA ni yawhawi na poe awh naseh.
16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s: but the earth has he given to the children of men.
Kalvan teh kalvannaw totouh BAWIPA e doeh. Hatei, talai teh talai taminaw hah a poe toe.
17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
Tami kadout ni BAWIPA pholen hoeh. Duem kâhatnae koe kacettangcoungnaw nihai BAWIPA pholen boihoeh.
18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever more. Praise the LORD.
Hatei, maimouh niteh, BAWIPA hah atuhoi a yungyoe totouh pholen awh han. BAWIPA teh pholen awh.
