Psalms 74
1 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
Asaph ih maskil. Aw Sithaw, tipongah dungzan khoek to nang pahnawt loe? Tipongah nangmah ih caphoih ahmuen ah kapra tuunawk nuiah palung na phui loe?
2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
Canghnii hoiah na qan ih kaminawk, na qawktoep acaengnawk hoi na ohhaih Zion mae to poek ah.
3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
Kaciim ahmuen to misanawk mah paro o boih boeh pongah, dungzan ah kamro ahmuen ah na khok to paqoi lai ah.
4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
Na misanawk loe nangmah ih kaminawk salakah hang o; nihcae loe angmacae angmathaih kahni to payang o.
5 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
Nihcae loe caka hoi tu thung ih thing pakhruh kaminawk baktiah oh o.
6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
Toe vaihi loe sak ih hmuennawk to caki hoi cakanawk hoiah a saek o boih boeh.
7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
Na hmuenciim to hmai hoiah a thlaek o boeh; na hmin ohhaih ahmuen doeh long ah vah o moe, panuet thok ah a sak o boeh.
8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
Nihcae mah, Hae kaminawk hae paduek boih si, tiah thuih o moe, prae thung ih Sithaw bokhaih ahmuennawk to hmai hoiah thlaek o boih boeh.
9 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
Kaicae loe kaimacae angmathaih tidoeh ka hnu o ai; tahmaanawk doeh om o ai boeh; nasetto maw hae tiah om vop tih, tiah panoek kami kaicae thungah mi doeh om ai.
10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
Aw Sithaw, nasetto maw misa mah kasaethui vop tih? Misa mah na hmin kasae thui poe tih maw?
11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.
Tipongah na ban, na bantang ban to na zuh let loe? Na saoek thung hoiah pathok ah.
12 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Sithaw loe canghnii hoiah ni kai ih siangpahrang ah oh boeh; anih mah ni long nuiah pahlonghaih to sak.
13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
Na thacakhaih hoiah tuipui to na pakhoih; tuipuinawk thung ih pahui puinawk ih lu to na khaeh.
14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
Leviathan ih lunawk to na koihsak phaeng moe, praezaek ah kaom kaminawk hanah buh ah na paek.
15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
Nangmah ni tuibap tui hoi vacong tuinawk to na longsak; vapui tuinawk doeh na kaangsak.
16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
Khodai loe nang ih ni, khoving doeh nang ih ni; nangmah ni ni hoi aanghaih to na sak.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
Nangmah ni long angzithaih ramrinawk to na sak moe, nipui hoi siktue doeh na sak.
18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Yhwh, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
Aw Angraeng, misa mah kasaethuihaih to poek ah; kamthunawk mah loe na hmin to patoek o.
19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
Nangmah ih pahuu tuinom hinghaih to kasae kaminawk khaeah paek hmah; nangmah ih amtang kaminawk to dungzan khoek to pahnet hmah.
20 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
Lokkamhaih to poek ah; long khoving ahmuennawk loe pacaekthlaekhaih hoiah koi.
21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
Patangkhang kaminawk to palung boengsak hmah; kamtang hoi kavawt kaminawk mah na hmin to saphaw o nasoe.
22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
Aw Sithaw, angthawk tahang ah loe, na sak ih hmuen to pakaa ah; kawbangmaw kamthunawk mah nang sethaih kawng ni thokkruek thuih o, tito panoek ah.
23 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
Na misanawk ih lok to pahnet hmah; na misanawk hanghaih lok loe pop aep aep boeh.
