Psalms 74
1 An Instructive Psalm. Asaph’s. Wherefore, O God, hast thou cast off utterly? Shall thine anger smoke against the flock of thine own pasturing?
Kathutkung: Asaph Oe Cathut bangkongmaw na pahnawt vaw. Bangkongmaw na saring a pânae koe e na tuhunaw taranlahoi na lungkhueknae hmaikhu a pâyam rah bo vaw.
2 Remember thine own assembly thou didst acquire aforetime, Thou didst redeem the tribe of thine own inheritance, Mount Zion, wherein thou didst take up thy habitation.
Kamkhueng e tamimaya, yampa na ran e, râw lah na pang e miphun, na ratang e naw heh pahnim hanh.
3 Lift up thy steps unto the places utterly unsafe, All the mischief!—the foe in the sanctuary!
Raphoe tangcoung e hmuen koe tho haw. Hmuen kathoung dawk e hno pueng hah taran ni koung a raphoe toe.
4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine appointed meeting, They have set their ensigns as tokens!
Na taminaw a kamkhuengnae hmuen koe, na tarannaw teh a hramki awh teh, mitnoutnaw hah a vo awh.
5 One used to be known according as he carried up high—into the thicket of trees—the axes;
Ratu thing ka tâtueng hane patetlah, cakânaw teh a palik awh.
6 But, now, the doors thereof all together, with axes and hammers, they batter down.
Dongdengca dawk bawkim hnonaw hah amamae cakâ, cakkinnaw hoi a raphoe awh.
7 They have cast, into the fire, thy sanctuary, To the ground, have they profaned the habitation of thy Name.
Thoungnae hmuen hah hmai a sawi awh teh, na min onae hmuen hah a khin sak awh toe.
8 They have said in their heart, Let us suppress them altogether, They have burned up all the meeting-places of GOD in the land.
Koung raphoe awh sei ati awh teh, ram thung e Cathut bawknae hmuen pueng hah hmai koung a sawi awh.
9 Our own signs, have we not seen, —There is no longer a prophet, —Neither is there with us, one who knoweth—How long!
Kaimouh teh mae mitnoutnae ka hmawt awh hoeh toe. Profet hai awm hoeh toe. Bangkong han nama aw, telah kapanuekkung kaimouh koe awm hoeh toe.
10 How long, O God, shall the adversary, reproach? Shall the enemy revile thy Name perpetually?
Oe Cathut, bangkongmaw na tarannaw ni na pathoe han. Taran ni na min pou a pacekpahlek han na maw.
11 Wherefore shouldst thou withdraw thy hand—thy right hand? [Bring it] out of the midst of thy bosom! (Selah)
Bangkongmaw na kut aranglae hah na dâw hoeh vaw. Bout dâw nateh, ahnimanaw hah koung raphoe haw.
12 But, God, hath been my king from aforetime, Working Deliverances in the midst of the earth.
Bangtelah tetpawiteh, Cathut teh ayan hoi talai taminaw koe rungngangnae kasakkung kaie Siangpahrang doeh.
13 Thou, didst cleave asunder, in thy might, the sea, Thou didst break in pieces the heads of the Crocodiles, [till they floated] on the waters;
Na thaonae lahoi talîpui hah na kapek teh, tui thung tuitamnaw e lû hah na khoe pouh.
14 Thou, didst crush the heads of the Sea-Monster, Thou didst give him to be food, for the people of the deserts;
Leviathan lû hah koung na khoe pouh teh, kahrawng kaawmnaw ni ca hanelah na poe.
15 Thou, didst cleave open fountain and torrent, Thou, didst dry up rivers of steady flow:
Tuikhu hoi palangnaw hah na palang pouh teh, palangpuinaw hah na hak sak.
16 Thine, is the day, Yea, thine, the night, Thou, didst establish moon and sun;
Khodai hoi karum hai nange doeh Kanî hoi angnae hah na sak toe.
17 Thou, didst set up all the bounds of the earth, As for summer and winter, thou, didst form them!
Talai khori pueng hai thoseh, kompawi hoi kasik pueng hai thoseh na sak toe.
18 Remember this, An enemy, hath reproached Yahweh, Yea, an impious people, have reviled thy Name.
Oe BAWIPA, taran ni na pathoe e hoi tamipathunaw ni na min a pacekpahlek e hah pahnim hanh.
19 Do not deliver up, to a wild beast, the life of thy turtle-dove, The living host of thine oppressed ones, do not forget perpetually.
Oe, na bakhu hringnae heh sarang koe poe hanh. Ka mathoe e na taminaw e hringnae heh a yungyoe pahnim hanh.
20 Have respect to thy covenant, For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
Lawkkam hah bari haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, talai a hmonae hmuennaw hah rektap lawpnae hoi akawi.
21 May the crushed one not again be confounded, As for the oppressed and the needy, let them praise thy Name.
Oe, repcoungroe e naw heh, kaya laihoi ban sak hanh. Mathoe hoi a reikathainaw ni na min pholen naseh.
22 Arise! O God, plead thine own cause, Remember the reproach of thee, from the impious one, all the day:
Oe Cathut, thaw nateh, na kong hah kangdoutkhai haw. Tamipathu ni hnintangkuem na pathoe e hah pahnim hanh.
23 Do not forget the voice of thine adversaries, The noise of thine assailants, ascending continually.
Na tarannaw lawk heh pahnim hanh. Nang na ka tarannaw e ruengruengtinae lawk teh hoehoe a kampaw e hah pahnim hanh.
