Psalms 94
1 God of vengeance—YHWH! God of vengeance, shine forth.
Aw Bawipa, lu ak lokung Khawsa, lu ak lokung Aw Khawsa, vang pheng lah.
2 Be lifted up, judging the earth, Send back a repayment on the proud.
Aw Khawmdek awi ak dengkung, tho lah; ak oek qukhqi ce a nai a koem na thung lah.
3 Until when do the wicked, O YHWH—Until when do the wicked exult?
Thlakchekhqi iqyt dy, Aw Bawipa, thlakche khqi iqyt dy ami hoel poeng kaw?
4 They utter—they speak arrogance, All working iniquity boast [about] themselves.
Oek qunaak ak awi sa unawh; thlakchekhqi ing oek qunaak ak awi ing be uhy.
5 Your people, O YHWH, they bruise, And they afflict Your inheritance.
Aw Bawipa, nak thlangkhqi ce phep a re unawh; na qo ak pangkhqi ce the a kha na uhy.
6 They slay widow and sojourner, And they murder fatherless ones.
Nuhaikhqi ingkaw khinkhqi ce him unawh, pa ak naikhqi ce him uhy.
7 And they say, “YAH does not see, And the God of Jacob does not consider.”
Bawipa ing am hu hy; Jacob a Khawsa ing kawna am sui hy,” ti uhy.
8 Consider, you brutish among the people, And you foolish, when do you act wisely?
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 who plants the ear, does He not hear? He who forms the eye, does He not see?
Haa ak saikung ing am za hly nawh nu? Mik ak saikung ing am hu hly nawh nu?
10 He who is instructing nations, does He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] YHWH.
Pilnam thlang ak cawngpyikung ing am toel hly nawh nu? Thlang ak cawngpyikung ce cyihnaak voet nawh hy voei nu?
11 He knows the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
Thlanghqing ak kawpoek Bawipa ing sim nawh; cekkhqi taw zilh mai ni tice sim hy.
12 O the blessedness of the man Whom You instruct, O YAH, And teach him out of Your law,
Aw Bawipa, nang ing nam cuuk thlangkhqi taw a zoseen hy, nang a anaa awi ak cawngkhqi taw a zoseen hy;
13 To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is 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 YHWH does not leave His people, And does not forsake His inheritance.
Ikawtih, Bawipa ing ak thlangkhqi cetaw am qoek tang; a qo ak pang hly tyng thlangkhqi ce am hlah tikaw.
15 For judgment turns back to righteousness, And after it all the upright of heart.
Awidengnaak ce dyngnaak awh awm kawmsaw, kawlung ak dyng thlangkhqi boeih ing ce ce hquut kawm uh.
16 Who rises up for me with evildoers? Who stations himself for me with workers of iniquity?
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 YHWH [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.
Bawipa ing ama nik pyi mantaw, thihnaak dek khuiawh ni ka awm hly hawh hy.
18 If I have said, “My foot has slipped,” Your kindness, O YHWH, supports me.
Kai ing, Ka khaw bah hy,” ka ti awh ce, Aw Bawipa, na lungnaak ing nim thawh hy.
19 In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Your comforts delight my soul.
Ka kawpoek a kyi soeih awh, nang ngaihqepnaak ing ka hqingnaak zeel sak hy.
20 Is a throne of mischief joined [with] You? A framer of perverseness by statute?
Ak awi tlyhnaak ing kyinaak pe nawh, ak plawci thai boei ngawihdoelh ingkaw nang anglakawh phaqunaak ak awm hly thai aw?
21 They decree against the soul of the righteous, And declare innocent blood wicked.
Cekhqi ing za qu unawh thlakdyng ce tuk uhy, ak awm dym ce thih ham dyna dawk sak uhy.
22 And YHWH is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock—my refuge,
Cehlai Bawipa taw kai a vawngbau cak na awm nawh, kai kang thuknaak lungnu taw Khawsa ni.
23 And He turns back their iniquity on them, And in their wickedness cuts them off; Our God YHWH cuts them off!
Cekkhqi a thawlhnaak ce thung pe kawmsaw ak che sainaak awh cekkhqi ce hqe kaw; Bawipa ningnih a Khawsa ing cekkhqi ce hqe kaw.
