Psalms 74
1 AN INSTRUCTION OF ASAPH. Why, O God, have You cast off forever? Your anger smokes against the flock of Your 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 Your congregation [That] You purchased of old, You redeemed the rod of Your inheritance, This Mount Zion—You dwelt in it.
Canghnii hoiah na qan ih kaminawk, na qawktoep acaengnawk hoi na ohhaih Zion mae to poek ah.
3 Lift up Your steps to the continuous desolations, Everything the enemy did 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 Your adversaries have roared, In the midst of Your meeting-places, They have set their ensigns as ensigns.
Na misanawk loe nangmah ih kaminawk salakah hang o; nihcae loe angmacae angmathaih kahni to payang o.
5 He is known as one bringing in on high Against a thicket of wood—axes.
Nihcae loe caka hoi tu thung ih thing pakhruh kaminawk baktiah oh o.
6 And now they break down its engravings, Together, with axe and hatchet,
Toe vaihi loe sak ih hmuennawk to caki hoi cakanawk hoiah a saek o boih boeh.
7 They have sent Your sanctuary into fire, They defiled the Dwelling Place of Your Name to the earth,
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 oppress them together,” They burned all the meeting-places 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 have not seen our ensigns, There is no longer a prophet, Nor with us is one knowing 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 Until when, O God, does an adversary reproach? Does an enemy despise Your Name forever?
Aw Sithaw, nasetto maw misa mah kasaethui vop tih? Misa mah na hmin kasae thui poe tih maw?
11 Why do You turn back Your hand, Even Your right hand? Remove [it] from the midst of Your bosom.
Tipongah na ban, na bantang ban to na zuh let loe? Na saoek thung hoiah pathok ah.
12 And 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 You have divided [the] sea by Your strength, You have shattered heads of dragons by the waters,
Na thacakhaih hoiah tuipui to na pakhoih; tuipuinawk thung ih pahui puinawk ih lu to na khaeh.
14 You have broken the heads of leviathan, You make him food for the people of desert-dwellers.
Leviathan ih lunawk to na koihsak phaeng moe, praezaek ah kaom kaminawk hanah buh ah na paek.
15 You have cleaved a fountain and a stream, You have dried up perennial flowings.
Nangmah ni tuibap tui hoi vacong tuinawk to na longsak; vapui tuinawk doeh na kaangsak.
16 The day [is] Yours, The night [is] also Yours, You have prepared a light-giver—the sun.
Khodai loe nang ih ni, khoving doeh nang ih ni; nangmah ni ni hoi aanghaih to na sak.
17 You have set up all the borders of earth, Summer and winter—You have formed them.
Nangmah ni long angzithaih ramrinawk to na sak moe, nipui hoi siktue doeh na sak.
18 Remember this—an enemy reproached YHWH, And a foolish people have despised Your Name.
Aw Angraeng, misa mah kasaethuihaih to poek ah; kamthunawk mah loe na hmin to patoek o.
19 Do not give up to a [wild] creature, The soul of Your turtle-dove, Do not forget the life of Your poor ones forever.
Nangmah ih pahuu tuinom hinghaih to kasae kaminawk khaeah paek hmah; nangmah ih amtang kaminawk to dungzan khoek to pahnet hmah.
20 Look attentively to the covenant, For the dark places of earth, Have been full of habitations of violence.
Lokkamhaih to poek ah; long khoving ahmuennawk loe pacaekthlaekhaih hoiah koi.
21 Do not let the oppressed turn back ashamed, Let the poor and needy praise Your Name,
Patangkhang kaminawk to palung boengsak hmah; kamtang hoi kavawt kaminawk mah na hmin to saphaw o nasoe.
22 Arise, O God, plead Your plea, Remember Your reproach from a fool all the day.
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 Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries, The noise of Your withstanders is going up continually!
Na misanawk ih lok to pahnet hmah; na misanawk hanghaih lok loe pop aep aep boeh.
