Psalms 79
1 A PSALM OF ASAPH. O God, nations have come into Your inheritance, They have defiled Your holy temple, They made Jerusalem become heaps,
Kathutkung: Asaph Oe Cathut, miphun louknaw teh nange râw thung a kâen awh teh, Bawkim kathoung a khin sak awh teh, Jerusalem hah a raphoe awh toe.
2 They gave the dead bodies of Your servants [As] food for the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Your saints For the wild beast of the earth.
Na sannaw e ro hah kalvan tavanaw rawca lah a poe awh teh, na tami kathoungnaw e moi teh kahrawng sarangnaw a paca awh.
3 They have shed their blood As water around Jerusalem, And there is none burying.
A thipaling teh Jerusalem vah tui patetlah a rabawk awh teh, kapakawpkung buet touh boehai awm hoeh.
4 We have been a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders.
Imrinaw ni pathoe e lah ka o awh teh, tengpam e naw ni na dudam awh teh na panuikhai awh.
5 Until when, O YHWH? Are You angry forever? Your jealousy burns as fire.
BAWIPA nâtotouh ne na lungkhuek han vai. Nâtotouh ne na lung roum laipalah, hmai patetlah a kak han vai.
6 Pour Your fury on the nations who have not known You, And on kingdoms that have not called on Your Name.
Nang panue hane ka ngai hoeh e miphun hoi na min ka kaw ngaihoeh e ram koevah, na lungkhueknae hah awi haw.
7 For [one] has devoured Jacob, And they have made his habitation desolate.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Jakop catoun hah a kâphi awh teh, ahnie hmuen hai a raphoe awh.
8 Do not remember for us the iniquities of forefathers, Hurry, let Your mercies go before us, For we have been very weak.
Oe, ayan e payonnae hah kaimouh taran nahanelah pâkuem hanh, na lungmanae ni karang poung lah na kabawm naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, puenghoi rahnoum sak lah ka o awh toe.
9 Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the glory of Your Name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Your Name’s sake.
Oe rungngangnae Cathut, na kabawm haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na min lentoe nahan lah na rungngang haw. Na min kecu dawk ka yonnae hah yonthanae na sak pouh haw.
10 Why do the nations say, “Where [is] their God?” Let [it] be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Your servants that is shed.
Bangkong alouke miphunnaw ni, nâmouh ahnimae Cathut te, ati awh. Na sannaw e thipaling phu moi na pathung e hah ka mithmu vah miphun pueng ni, panuek awh naseh.
11 Let the groaning of the prisoner come in before You, According to the greatness of Your arm, Leave the sons of death.
Thongkabawtnaw kâhramnae lawk teh, nang koe phat naseh. Ka lentoe e na hnotithainae patetlah due hanlah a pouk awh e hah, hlout sak haw.
12 And return to our neighbors, Sevenfold to their bosom, their reproach, With which they reproached You, O Lord.
Oe Jehovah, na min a mathoesaknae hah, ka imrinaw e phai dawk roeroe vah, let sari touh hoi patho haw.
13 And we, Your people, and the flock of Your pasture, We give thanks to You for all time, We recount Your praise from generation to generation!
Hottelah, nang koe ka pawngpa awh e, tuhu lah kaawm e na tami kaimanaw ni nang teh pou na pholen awh vaiteh, pholennae teh, se pueng koe ka pâpho awh han.
