Psalms 48
1 “A song and psalm by the sons of Korach.” Great is the Lord, and highly praised in the city of our God, [in] his holy mountain.
Korah caanawk ih Saam laa. Angraeng loe lensawk pongah, ciimcai Angmah ih mae hoi aicae Sithaw ih vangpui ah lensawkhaih hoiah pakoeh han oh.
2 A beautiful district, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, the farthest north, the city of the great King.
Aluek bangah kaom, lensawk Siangpahrang ih vangpui, long boih anghoehaih Zion mae loe, kranghoih parai.
3 God is become known in her palaces as a defence.
Sithaw loe a ohhaih ahmuen ah oh moe, anih loe abuephaih ah oh.
4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they are passed away together.
Khenah, siangpahrangnawk loe amkhueng o moe, nawnto caeh o.
5 They indeed saw—[and] so they were astonished; they were terrified, they were confounded.
Nihcae mah hnuk o naah, dawnrai o; zithaih hoiah cawnh o.
6 Trembling seized on them there, pain, as on a woman in travail.
Nihcae loe to ahmuen ah zithaih hoiah oh o, nongpata caa tapen nathuem ih kana baktiah, pauep o,
7 With the east wind thou breakest the ships of Tharshish.
ni angyae bang ih takhi mah Tarshish ih palongpuinawk palet pae phaeng baktiah ni a oh o.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen [it] in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. (Selah)
Aicae mah a thaih o ih baktih toengah, aicae Sithaw ih vangpui hoi misatuh Angraeng ih vangpui thungah, a hnuk o boeh; to ahmuen loe Sithaw mah dungzan khoek to caksak tih. (Selah)
9 We have reflected on thy kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
Aw Sithaw, na tempul thungah, nang palunghaih to ka poek o.
10 As thy name is, O God, so is thy praise over the ends of the earth: of righteousness is thy right hand full.
Na hmin amthang baktih toengah, aw Sithaw, nang saphawhaih loe long boenghaih khoek to phak boeh; na bantang ban loe toenghaih hoiah koi.
11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
Toenghaih hoi lok na caek pongah, Zion mae to anghoe nasoe loe, Judah canunawk to anghoe o nasoe.
12 Compass Zion about, and walk round about her; number her towers.
Zion ah caeh ah, ataeng ah caeh takui ah loe, misa toephaih imsangnawk to kroek ah;
13 Direct your mind to her outer wall, mark carefully her palaces: in order that ye may tell it to the latest generation.
angzo han koi caanawk khaeah na thuih pae hanah, misa abuephaih longkhawnawk hoi anih ohhaih ahmuennawk to poek ah.
14 For this One is God, our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
Hae Sithaw loe aicae ih dungzan Sithaw ah oh; anih loe boeng khoek to aicae zaehoikung ah om tih.
