Psalms 81
1 “For the leader of the music. On the Gittith. A psalm of Asaph.” Sing joyfully to God, our strength! Shout with gladness to the God of Jacob!
Aka mawt ham Asaph kah Gittith Mamih kah sarhi Pathen taengah tamhoe uh lamtah Jakob Pathen taengah yuhui uh lah.
2 Raise a song, and strike the timbrel, The sweet-sounding harp, and the psaltery!
Oldi te phoh uh lamtah kamrhing rhotoeng neh dingsuek thangpa tum uh.
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon; At the full moon, also, on our festal day!
Hlasae, hlalum vaengkah mamih khotue hnin ah tuki te ueng uh lah.
4 For this is a statute for Israel, A law of the God of Jacob;
Hekah he Israel ham Jakob Pathen kah laitloeknah oltlueh coeng ni.
5 He appointed it as a memorial in Joseph, When he went out of the land of Egypt, Where he heard a language which he knew not.
Ka yakming mueh ol, Egypt kho la a caeh vaengah Joseph ham a khueh olphong ni.
6 “I relieved [[said he]] thy shoulders from their burden; Thy hands were removed from the hod.
A laengpang dongkah hnorhih te ka khoe pah tih a kut khaw voh khui lamkah loeih.
7 Thou didst call in trouble, and I delivered thee; In the secret place of thunder I answered thee; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Pause)
Citcai khuiah nan khue tih nang kan pumcum sak. Khohum hlip lamkah nang kan doo tih Meribah tui ah nang kan loep kan dak. (Selah)
8 Hear, O my people! and I will admonish thee! O Israel! that thou wouldst hearken to me!
Ka pilnam loh hnatun lamtah kai ol te na hnatun atah Israel nang taengah ka laipai ni.
9 Let there be no strange god within thee, Nor worship thou any foreign god!
Na khuiah rhalawt pathen om boel saeh lamtah kholong pathen te bawk boeh.
10 I Jehovah am thy God, Who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: Open wide thy mouth, and I will fill it!
Kai tah Egypt kho lamkah nang aka doek na Pathen Yahweh ni. Na ka ang lamtah kan hah sak eh.
11 But my people would not listen to my voice, And Israel would not hearken to me.
Tedae ka pilnam loh ka ol he ya pawt tih Israel loh kai taengah naep pawh.
12 So I gave them up to the obstinacy of their hearts, And they walked according to their own devices.
Te dongah amih te lungbuei thinthahnah taengla ka hlah tih amih kah cilkhih dongah pongpa uh.
13 “O that my people had hearkened to me! That Israel had walked in my ways!
Ka pilnam loh kai taengah hnatang koinih ka longpuei te Israel loh a vai sui dae.
14 Soon would I have brought low their enemies, And turned my hand against their adversaries.
A thunkha rhoek te a loe la ka kunyun sak vetih a rhal te ka kut neh ka thuung pah suidae.
15 The haters of Jehovah should have become suppliants to them, And their prosperity should have endured for ever.
BOEIPA kah a lunguet rhoek loh anih taengah mai a tum uh vetih amih kah khohnin khaw kumhal duela puh suidae.
16 With the finest of the wheat I would have fed them, And with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied them.”
Tedae cang tha te anih a cah suitih lungpang khui lamkah khoitui nang kang kum sak sue.
