Psalms 81
1 Sing aloud to God our strength: make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
Kathutkung: Asaph Maimae thaonae Cathut koe kacaipounglah la sak awh. Jakop Cathut koe konawm laihoi hram awh.
2 Take a psalm, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
La sak awh nateh cecak hah khawng awh. A lawk kahawi e ratoung tamawi hah kueng awh.
3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
Thapa rei hnin, kamhluem hnin, pawi hnin vah mongka ueng awh.
4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, hethateh, Isarelnaw hanlah phunglam lah ao teh, Jakop Cathut kâlawk lah ao.
5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
Hethateh, Izip ram pueng a cei awh teh, thai panuek hoeh e lawk thainae hmuen koevah, lawkpanuesaknae Joseph koe a sak e doeh.
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
A loung dawk a hrawm e hnori hah a puen pouh teh, a kut hoi a tawm e a bawm hah a kuem pouh.
7 You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder: I proved you at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Rucat navah na kaw teh na rungngang awh. khoparitnae hmuen koehoi na pato awh teh, Meribah tui koehoi na tanouk awh. (Selah)
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to you: O Israel, if you will listen to me;
Oe ka taminaw thai awh haw, lawk na thui vai. Oe Isarel ka lawk tarawi awh haw.
9 There shall no strange god be in you; neither shall you worship any strange god.
Miphun louk cathut nangmouh koe awm mahoeh. Miphun louk cathut na bawk awh mahoeh.
10 I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Kai teh Cathut Jehovah, Izip ram hoi na kahrawikung doeh. Ka kaw lah na pahni ang awh nateh, ka kawi sak han.
11 But my people would not listen to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
Hatei, ka taminaw ni ka lawk hah ngai awh hoeh. Isarelnaw ni banglahai na pouk awh hoeh.
12 So I gave them up to their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
Amamae lungpatanae koe ka poe teh, amamouh ngai patetlah ao awh.
13 Oh that my people had listened to me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
Oe ka taminaw ni ka lawk hah ngai boilah, Isarel ni ka lamthung dawn haw pawiteh khe.
14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
A taran tang ka tâ pouh vaiteh, ahnimouh katarankungnaw koe ka kut ka dâw pouh han eite.
15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves to him: but their time should have endured for ever.
BAWIPA kahmuhmanaw ni a hmalah kâhet awh vaiteh, ka taminaw teh pou a kangning awh han eite.
16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied you.
Kahawi poung e tavai hoi ka kawk vaiteh, lungsong thung e khoitui hoi a lungkhuekti sak han eite.
