Psalms 81
1 “To the chief musician upon Gittith; by Assaph.” Sing aloud unto God our strength: shout joyfully unto the God of Jacob.
Kathutkung: Asaph Maimae thaonae Cathut koe kacaipounglah la sak awh. Jakop Cathut koe konawm laihoi hram awh.
2 Lift up psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, 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 on the new moon the cornet, at the time appointed, on the day of our feast.
Thapa rei hnin, kamhluem hnin, pawi hnin vah mongka ueng awh.
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance by the God of Jacob.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, hethateh, Isarelnaw hanlah phunglam lah ao teh, Jakop Cathut kâlawk lah ao.
5 As a testimony in Joseph did he ordain it, when he went out over the land of Egypt. The language of one I had not known did I hear.
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 from the burden his shoulder: his hands left behind the burden-basket.
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 In distress thou didst call, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret of the thunder: I proved thee 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 give warning unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldst but hearken unto me!
Oe ka taminaw thai awh haw, lawk na thui vai. Oe Isarel ka lawk tarawi awh haw.
9 There shall not be among thee a foreign God; nor shalt thou bow thyself down to any strange God.
Miphun louk cathut nangmouh koe awm mahoeh. Miphun louk cathut na bawk awh mahoeh.
10 I am the Lord thy God, who have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open wide thy mouth, 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 did not hearken to my voice; and Israel was not willing [to follow] me.
Hatei, ka taminaw ni ka lawk hah ngai awh hoeh. Isarelnaw ni banglahai na pouk awh hoeh.
12 So I let them go in the stubbornness of their own hearts: and they walked in their own counsels.
Amamae lungpatanae koe ka poe teh, amamouh ngai patetlah ao awh.
13 Oh that my people would hearken unto me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
Oe ka taminaw ni ka lawk hah ngai boilah, Isarel ni ka lamthung dawn haw pawiteh khe.
14 In a little while would I subdue their enemies, and against their adversaries would I turn my hand.
A taran tang ka tâ pouh vaiteh, ahnimouh katarankungnaw koe ka kut ka dâw pouh han eite.
15 The haters of the Lord should offer flattery unto him; but their time should endure for ever.
BAWIPA kahmuhmanaw ni a hmalah kâhet awh vaiteh, ka taminaw teh pou a kangning awh han eite.
16 And he would feed him with the best of wheat: and out of the rock would I satisfy thee with honey.
Kahawi poung e tavai hoi ka kawk vaiteh, lungsong thung e khoitui hoi a lungkhuekti sak han eite.
