Psalms 78
1 [A contemplation by Asaph.] Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.
O kamite ho, kathuhil hi ngaiyun. Kathusei a hin nakol'u hinsungun,
2 I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings since the beginning of the world,
ajeh chu keiman thulem a nahenga thu kaseiding ahi, keiman achesa thilsoh ho-a kon a kahin hilding nahi,
3 which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
eihon thusim ijahsa houleh ihetsahou, thusim ipu ipateuva kon a hung kiseilhapeh ho ahi.
4 We will not hide them from their descendants, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, his strength, and his wondrous works that he has done.
Eihon hiche thutah hohi icha inaoteu i-impeh loudiu, Yahweh Pakai natoh loupi tahtah hohi, athaneinale akidanna hohi ikhangthah houhi iseipehdiu ahi.
5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;
Ajeh chu Aman Jocob kom a Dan anapeh-a, Israel kom a thuhil ho anapeh ahi. Aman ipu ipateu atu achateu ahil diuva thupeh anapeh ahin,
6 that the generation to come might know it, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell their children,
hitiachu ahunglhung ding khangthah ten ahet nadiuleh ahung pengloulai chapang ho dinga, chuleh aman amaho chapangte ahilsonna diuva ahi.
7 that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments,
Hitiachu khangthah ahunglhun channa Elohim Pathen a kinepna thah aneisah nadiu, Yahweh Pakai natoh kidang thil loupi hochu asuhmillou nadiu chuleh athupehho anitjing nadiuva ahiljing diu ahi.
8 and might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
Hiteng chuleh ipi iputeu tobang talou a lungtahna, kiphinna, kitah louna Elohim Pathen a alungthim'u pehnom louna anei lou diu ahitai.
9 The people of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
Ephraim galsat hon thalchang akipoh vangun akinung hei un galmun a konin ajam tauve.
10 They did not keep God's covenant, and refused to walk by his Law.
Amahon Elohim Pathen toh akitepnau ajuitapouvin ama thuhil dinpi ding anom tapouvin ahi.
11 They forgot his doings, his wondrous works that he had shown them.
Elohim Pathen in ipi abolpeh uham thil kidangtah tah anabol hochu,
12 He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
napu napateu dinga thil kidang anatohdoh ho, Egypt gamsungle Zoan phaicham chunga, atohdohho asumil tauvin ahi.
13 He split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap.
Ajeh chu Aman twikhanglen ana homkhen in twichu bang bangin aki khen in amaho anapui galkaiyun ahi.
14 In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, and all night with a light of fire.
Sunleh meilhang in anapuijin, janleh meikong in anapuijin ahi.
15 He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.
Aman gamthip gamm a songpia kon in adondiu twi anaputdoh sah-in ahi.
16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
Aman songpia konna twichu vadung bangin analondohsah in ahi.
17 Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.
Ahijeng vangin neldi gam achun amahon chonset anabol'un hatchungnung dounan ana kiphin'un ahi.
18 They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.
Amahon alungsung uchu lungtahna neipumin Elohim Pathen ana patep un nehding anathumun ahi.
19 Yes, they spoke against God. They said, "Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
Amahon Elohim Pathen Amatah dounan thu anaseiyun “Elohim Pathen in gamthip gammah an eipejou pouve” atiuve.
20 Look, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?"
“Henge, songchu ajep'un twichu aputdoh nai, ahinla amite changlhah le sa me eipejou pouve” atiuve.
21 Therefore the LORD heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,
Elohim Pathen in hichehi ajahdoh phatnin alunghang lheh jengin, Jacob dounan alunghan na mei akoudoh jengin ahi! Hitihin Israel douna alung hanna ahung koudoh jengin ahi,
22 because they did not believe in God, and did not trust in his salvation.
ajeh chu amahon Elohim Pathen atahsan pouvin chuleh amaho akhoukhah diuvin jong ana tahsan pouvin ahi.
23 Yet he commanded the clouds above, and opened the doors of heaven.
Elohim Pathen in chungleng vanthamjol thu apen vankot jouse jong ahongdoh in,
24 He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them bread from heaven.
Aman aneh dingun van a konin Mana gojuh in ahin juhlhah sah in van changlhah chu ahinpen ahi.
25 Man ate the bread of the mighty ones. He sent them food to the full.
Amahon vantil buchu aneuvin, Elohim Pathen in alungna chimsetnun apen ahi.
26 He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.
Aman solam huichu ahin nunsah in, Athahatnan lhanglang huijong anunsah in ahi.
27 He rained also flesh on them as the dust; winged birds as the sand of the seas.
Aman aneh dingun sachu vutdi jat ahin juhlhah sahin, vachaho chu twikhanglen panga neldi jat ahin,
28 He let it fall in the midst of his camp, all around his tent.
Aman vachaho chu aponbuh sungu leh avel uvah ahin lenlhah sah in ahi.
29 So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.
Amahon oivasetin aneuvin ahi. Angaichat dungjuitah in apen ahi.
30 They did not turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,
Hinla amahon angaichat dungjuija anehva masangu, akam sung uva sa aumpet jeng jong chun,
31 when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of the fattest of them, and struck down the young men of Israel.
Elohim Pathen lunghana achung uvah ahung lhungtan ahileh Aman alah uva ahatpen pen hochu athat tan ahi. Israel khangthah anasapen hochu athat gamtan ahi.
32 For all this they still sinned, and did not believe in his wondrous works.
Ahijeng vangin mipiho chun chonset aboljom jingun ahi, thilkidang ijat abol vangin atahsan dehpouvin ahi.
33 Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.
Hiti chun ahinkhou chu lhuhgam na ahitan akum khouchu kichatnan adimtai.
34 When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly.
Elohim Pathen in amaho ahin thapat phatnun amahon ajona langin Amachu ahin holtauvin ahi. Kisihna ahin neitauvin Elohim Pathen ahin holtauvin ahi.
35 They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their redeemer.
Hiti chun Elohim Pathen chu asongpiu ahi chuleh Elohim Pathen chu hat chungnung le ahuhhing pao ahi ahin geldoh tauvin ahi.
36 But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue.
Ahijeng vangin hichu kamnal a anaseijiu ahibouvin alei u mangchan jou anaseiyun ahi.
37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they faithful in his covenant.
Alung sungu chu Elohim Pathen a ana petheng pouvin Elohim Pathen toh anakitep nauva jong ana dingdet pouvin ahi.
38 But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and did not destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
Hinla lungsetna dim Elohim Pathen chun achonsetnau anangai damun amahochu ana sumang deh pouvin ahi. Phat atamjon alunghan na anatuh tangin hiche bangchun ima ana tongdoh pon ahi.
39 He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and doesn't come again.
Tahsa mihembep ahiuve ti ahejingin, hui anun leh heikhat kahbou ahin ahung kiletapoi ti ageldoh in ahi.
40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert.
Gamthip sunga ijatvei Ama douna ana kiphin jengu chuleh alungsung anatsah vangin,
41 They turned again and tempted God, and gave pain to the Holy One of Israel.
Avel vel in Elohim Pathen thohhat nachu apatep jiuvin Israel Pathen Elohim chu asulunghang jiuvin ahi.
42 They did not remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;
Amahon athahatna in agalmi houva kon a anahuhdoh u hi ageldoh joutapouve.
43 how he set his signs in Egypt, his wonders in the field of Zoan,
Egypt gamsunga thil kidang ijat abolu hitam chuleh Zoan phaicham a athil kidang bol hochu ageldoh tapouvin ahi.
44 he turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.
Vadungho thisan asosah a don mohella alha, vadung twi donmo hella alha jengchu.
45 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
Elohim Pathen in amaho lah a thousi vaibong alansah a, uphohte alansah a agam ujong a suh set peh chu ahepha tapouve.
46 He gave also their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.
Aman achang jouseu khongbai aneh gamsah in alousoh jouseu jong khaokhopi anehgam sah e.
47 He destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost.
Alengpithei jouseu gel avohlhah sah sohkei in, atheipiu phung jouseu jong daibang athagamsah in ahi.
48 He gave over their livestock also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
Agancha jouseu gel lah a dalhah in aumsah in, akelngoi houjong keh alhah lihsah sohtai.
49 He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of destroying angels.
Achung uva nasatah in alunghangin, alung dammona alung hanna, mi sumang vantil hon tamtah alhahkhum tan ahi.
50 He made a path for his anger. He did not spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,
Aman alunghanna achung uvah achuh sahtan, Egypt mite hinkho anahing hoipon, amangthah gamtan ahi,
51 and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.
Egypt insunga achapa tahpen cheh athat in Egypt gamsung pumpia khangdongte pahcha amolsahtai.
52 But he led forth his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
Hinla Aman amite chu kelngoi honbangin apuiyin gamthip noija bitkei in apui galkai tan ahi.
53 He led them safely, so that they weren't afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
Aman mongtahin apuilen hijeh chun amahon kichatna aneipouve, chujongleh twikhanglen in agalteu alhoh mangpeh gamtai.
54 He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.
Amaho chu Elohim Pathen in agamtheng abanjetna atundoh, molsang vum achun ahin puilut in,
55 He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
Amaho masangah namtin vaipi adelmang peh sohkeiyin, abonchauvin achan dingu gam ahoppeh chehin, Israel phung namtin abonchauvin ama ama ponbuh cheh a achensah tai.
56 Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and did not keep his testimonies;
Ahijeng vangin amahon hatchungnung Elohim Pathen dounan thil abol jingun athupeh ho khatcha anitpeh pouvin ahi.
57 but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
Apu apateu bangin avah mang-uvin jou jengin na atonguvin ahi. Amaho chu thalpi janglou bangin akitah pouvin ahi.
58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.
Amahon pathen dangho doiphung aphutdoh un Elohim Pathen alunghan sah uvin, chuleh semthu pathen ahoujeh-un Elohim Pathen athangthip sahtauvin ahi.
59 When God heard this, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel;
Elohim Pathen in ajahdoh phat in hatah'in alunghangin Israel chu pumpai in apaimangtan ahi.
60 So that he forsook the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where he dwelt among men;
Elohim Pathen in Shiloh achenna mun adalhan mihemte lah a aumna ponbuh chu adalhatai.
61 and delivered his strength into captivity, his glory into the adversary's hand.
Aman aloupina le athaneina hetna kitepna thingkong chu galmiho khutna apehdohtan ahi.
62 He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.
Ama amite chunga alunghan jeh-in agalmiteu athasah gamtan ahi.
63 Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song.
Gollhangho galah athigam tauvin, nungah ho akichenpidiu aumtapon ahi.
64 Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows couldn't weep.
Thempute athat gamtauvin ameithai houvin alhasetpi thei tapouvin ahi.
65 Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.
Ajonan Yahweh Pakai chu a-ihmua ahung khangdoh bangin ahung thoudoh in mihatpa hung kiltildoh bangin ahung kitildohin,
66 He struck his adversaries backward. He made them a permanent shame.
Galmi hochu anungno in a-itih a ding jumna atosah tan ahi.
67 Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, and did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
Ahinla Joseph chilhah hochu apaidohin, chuleh Ephraim phungchu alheng tapon ahi.
68 But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved.
Aman akhellin Judah leh angailut Zion molchu alhengin,
69 He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.
hichea chun vanho san banga sang, leiset banga chah a-itih a umjing dingin houin khat atungdoh tan ahi.
70 He also chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;
Aman asohpa David chu akelngoi chinna a konnin anakoudoh'in analheng tan ahi.
71 from following the ewes that have their young, he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob his servant, and Israel his inheritance.
Aman kelngoipi le anou achin laijin akoudoh'in amite Israel Jacob chilhah hochu kelngoi chinna ching dingin anapansah tan ahi.
72 So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
David in amaho chu lungtheng tah leh chingtheitah in analamkaiyin ahi.
