Psalms 94
1 O God, of vengeance, Lord! O God of vengeance, shine forth.
Aw Bawipa, lu ak lokung Khawsa, lu ak lokung Aw Khawsa, vang pheng lah.
2 Lift up thyself, O judge of the Earth! bring a recompense upon the proud.
Aw Khawmdek awi ak dengkung, tho lah; ak oek qukhqi ce a nai a koem na thung lah.
3 How long shall the wicked, O Lord—how long shall the wicked exult?
Thlakchekhqi iqyt dy, Aw Bawipa, thlakche khqi iqyt dy ami hoel poeng kaw?
4 They sputter, they speak hard things: all the workers of wickedness boast themselves.
Oek qunaak ak awi sa unawh; thlakchekhqi ing oek qunaak ak awi ing be uhy.
5 Thy people, O Lord! they crush, and thy heritage they afflict.
Aw Bawipa, nak thlangkhqi ce phep a re unawh; na qo ak pangkhqi ce the a kha na uhy.
6 The widow and the stranger they slay, and the fatherless they murder.
Nuhaikhqi ingkaw khinkhqi ce him unawh, pa ak naikhqi ce him uhy.
7 And they say, The Lord will not see, and the God of Jacob will not take notice of it.
Bawipa ing am hu hy; Jacob a Khawsa ing kawna am sui hy,” ti uhy.
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye become intelligent!
Nangmih thlang khqing lak awh poeknaak amak takhqi aw, poek hqeet lah thaw voei uk ti; nangmih thlakqaw tloek aw, ityk awh nami cyih kaw?
9 He that hath planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that hath formed the eye, shall he not see?
Haa ak saikung ing am za hly nawh nu? Mik ak saikung ing am hu hly nawh nu?
10 He that admonisheth nations, shall he not correct? is it not he that teacheth man knowledge!
Pilnam thlang ak cawngpyikung ing am toel hly nawh nu? Thlang ak cawngpyikung ce cyihnaak voet nawh hy voei nu?
11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are nought.
Thlanghqing ak kawpoek Bawipa ing sim nawh; cekkhqi taw zilh mai ni tice sim hy.
12 Happy is the man whom thou admonisheth, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law:
Aw Bawipa, nang ing nam cuuk thlangkhqi taw a zoseen hy, nang a anaa awi ak cawngkhqi taw a zoseen hy;
13 That thou mayest grant him repose from the days of evil, until the pot be dug for the wicked.
thlakche aham lawk-kqawng ak co na a awm hlan dy kyinaak khawnghi ak khui awhkawng cekhqi ce hawih khangnaak pe hyk ti.
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people, and his inheritance will he not forsake.
Ikawtih, Bawipa ing ak thlangkhqi cetaw am qoek tang; a qo ak pang hly tyng thlangkhqi ce am hlah tikaw.
15 For unto righteousness will justice return; and it shall be followed by all the upright in heart.
Awidengnaak ce dyngnaak awh awm kawmsaw, kawlung ak dyng thlangkhqi boeih ing ce ce hquut kawm uh.
16 Who will rise up for me against evil-doers? or who will stand forward for me against the workers of wickedness?
Thlakche ak tuk aham ka ham u nu ak dyi kaw? Ik-oeih che ak saikhqi ce u ing nu a oelh law lah voei?
17 Unless the Lord had been a help unto me, but a little would have been wanting that my soul had dwelt in the silence of death.
Bawipa ing ama nik pyi mantaw, thihnaak dek khuiawh ni ka awm hly hawh hy.
18 When I said, My foot hath slipped: thy kindness, O Lord, sustained me.
Kai ing, Ka khaw bah hy,” ka ti awh ce, Aw Bawipa, na lungnaak ing nim thawh hy.
19 In the multitude of my [painful] thoughts within me, thy consolations delight my soul.
Ka kawpoek a kyi soeih awh, nang ngaihqepnaak ing ka hqingnaak zeel sak hy.
20 Can there be associated with thee the throne of destructive wickedness, which frameth mischief as a law?
Ak awi tlyhnaak ing kyinaak pe nawh, ak plawci thai boei ngawihdoelh ingkaw nang anglakawh phaqunaak ak awm hly thai aw?
21 They band themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and innocent blood do they condemn.
Cekhqi ing za qu unawh thlakdyng ce tuk uhy, ak awm dym ce thih ham dyna dawk sak uhy.
22 But the Lord is become my defence, and my God, the rock of my refuge.
Cehlai Bawipa taw kai a vawngbau cak na awm nawh, kai kang thuknaak lungnu taw Khawsa ni.
23 And he will bring back upon them their own injustice, and in their own wickedness will he destroy them: [yea], he will destroy them—the Lord our God.
Cekkhqi a thawlhnaak ce thung pe kawmsaw ak che sainaak awh cekkhqi ce hqe kaw; Bawipa ningnih a Khawsa ing cekkhqi ce hqe kaw.
