Psalms 81
1 [For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. By Asaph.] Sing aloud to God, our strength. Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob.
Ningmih a Khawsa thak awm soeih a venawh zeel doena laa sa lah uh; Jacob a Khawsa venawh khawteh na khy lah uh!
2 Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.
Tumding tum unawh, poeng ak beei khoek lah uh, ak awi ak ding tingtoeng ingkaw qaw tingtoeng ing kyihcah lah uh.
3 Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.
Pihla a thei nyn awh tuu’m cai ak ki yng unawh pihla a lum awh ce, ningnih a khawnghig nyn awh;
4 For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
Ve ve Israelkhqi ham awipeek na awm hy, Jacob a Khawsa bawknaak awipeek na awm hy.
5 He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I did not know.
Ningmih ing am ning zaak sim awi ningzak naak Izip qam na a ceh awh, Joseph aham awipeek amyihna cak pe sak hy.
6 "I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.
Anih ing ak phleng awhkaw phyihqih ce khoe pe nawh; ami kutkhqi ing vaihqang awm am nen sak voel nyng.
7 You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah." (Selah)
Ngaihkyi doena nik khy tiksaw nim hlat nyng, khawhum ak khui awhkawng nim hlat khqi nyng saw, Meribah tui awhkawng ni noekdak khqi nyng.
8 "Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me.
Aw kak thlangkhqi, ngai lah uh, ngaihtaaknaak awi nik kqawn pek khqi vang – Aw Israel, kak awi ve ngai lah thaw voei uk ti!
9 There shall be no strange god in you, neither shall you worship any foreign god.
Qap chang a khawsa ce nangmih anglak li awh koeh ta kawm u tiksaw; thalk chang a khawsa a venawh koeh ta kawm uk ti.
10 I am the LORD, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Kai taw Izip qam awhkawng nangmih ak hquikung, Bawipa na Khawsa na awm nyng.
11 But my people did not listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.
Cehlai kak thlangkhqi ing kak awi am ngai uhy; Israel ing ka venawh am ap qu uhy.
12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.
A mimah am thinsahnaak amyihna a mimah a ngaihnaak hqut aham hlah khqi hyt nyng.
13 Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways.
Kak thlangkhqi ing kak awi mah aming ngai mantaw, Israel ing ka lam ve mah a hqut mantaw,
14 I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
a qaalkhqi ce ang tawnna noeng pe nyng saw a qaalkhqi benna ka kut ve hlah pe voei nyng!
15 The haters of the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
Bawipa ak sawhnaak thlangkhqi ce a haiawh kqih doena kyn hqoeng kawm uh, a mingmih a toelnaak ce kumqui dyna awm hawh kaw.
16 And he would have fed him with the finest wheat, and satisfied you with honey from the rock."
Cehlai nang ingtaw buh ak tui soeih ai kawm tiksaw, lungkaw awhkaw khawitui ing nak phoen ni phyi sak kawng nyng,” tihy.
