< Psalms 89 >

1 An Instructive Psalm, by Ethan the Ezrahite. The lovingkindnesses of Yahweh, age-abidingly will I sing, To generation after generation, will I make known thy faithfulness with my mouth.
Ezrakhi Ethan kah Hlohlai BOEIPA kah sitlohnah te, cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma duela, kumhal ah ka hlai ni. Namah kah uepomnah te, ka ka neh ka tukkil ni.
2 For I said, To times age-abiding, shall lovingkindness be built up, As for the heavens, thou wilt establish thy faithfulness therein.
Sitlohnah loh vaan a khoeng tih, a khuiah na uepomnah na soepboe te kumhal ah ka thui ni.
3 I have solemnised a covenant, for my chosen one, I have sworn unto David my servant:
Ka coelh taengah moi ka boh tih ka sal David taengah ka toemngam coeng.
4 Unto times age-abiding, will I establish thy seed, And will build up, unto generation after generation, thy throne. (Selah)
Na tiingan te kumhal duela ka thoh vetih na ngolkhoel te cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma ham ka hol pah ni. (Selah)
5 So shall the heavens praise thy wondrousness, O Yahweh, —Yea, thy faithfulness, in the convocation of holy ones.
Te dongah BOEIPA nang kah khobaerhambae te vaan rhoek loh, na uepomnah khaw a cim hlangping khuiah a uem uh.
6 For whom, in the skies, can one compare unto Yahweh? [Or] can one liken unto Yahweh, among the sons of the mighty?
BOEIPA neh khomong dongah unim aka tluk tih vaan hlang khuiah BOEIPA te u long nim a puet?
7 A GOD inspiring awe in the circle of the holy ones, exceedingly, And to be reverenced above all who are round about him.
Pathen taengah tah, boeiping hlangcim kah baecenol nen khaw a sarhing pai. Te dongah a kaepvai boeih lakah a rhih om pai.
8 O Yahweh, God of hosts! Who, like thee, is mighty, O Yah! With thy faithfulness round about thee:
Caempuei Pathen, BOEIPA namah bangla unim aka om? BOEIPA tah tlung tih na kaepvai ah na uepomnah om.
9 Thou, rulest over the swelling of the sea, When the rolling waves thereof lift themselves, Thou, dost bid them be still:
Tuitunli kah a hoemdamnah te aka taemrhai khaw namah ni. Tuilae a thoh vaengah amih te na domyok sak.
10 Thou, hast crushed—as one slain—Rahab, With thy strong arm, hast thou scattered thy foes.
Nang loh Rahab na ngawn bangla na bantha neh na phop tih na thunkha rhoek te na sarhi neh na yaal.
11 Thine, are the heavens, Yea, thine, the earth, The world and the fulness thereof, Thou, didst found them;
Vaan rhoek khaw nang kah, diklai khaw nang kah bal. Lunglai neh anih dongkah aka om boeih namah loh na suen.
12 The north and the south, Thou, didst create them, —Tabor and Hermon, with thy Name, shall shout for joy:
Tlangpuei neh bantang khaw namah loh na suen. Tabor neh Hermon loh na ming neh tamhoe rhoi.
13 Thine is an arm with might, Strong is thy hand, High is thy right hand;
Na ban te thayung thamal sai tih na kut khaw tanglue. Te dongah na bantang kut tah a pomsang.
14 Righteousness and justice, are the establishing of thy throne, Lovingkindness and faithfulness, go before thy face.
Na ngolkhoel hmuen la duengnah neh tiktamnah om tih sitlohnah neh oltak loh na hmai ah n'doe.
15 How happy are the people who know the joyful sound! O Yahweh! in the light of thy countenance, shall they firmly march along;
BOEIPA kah tamlung aka ming tih na mikhmuh kah vangnah khuiah aka pongpa pilnam tah a yoethen pai saeh.
16 In thy Name, shall they exult all the day, And, in thy righteousness, shall they be exalted.
Na ming neh hnin takuem omngaih uh tih na duengnah neh pomsang uh.
17 For, the beauty of their strength, thou art, And, in thine acceptance, shall our horns be exalted.
Amih kah boeimangnah sarhi la nang na om dongah na kolonah neh ka ki khaw na pomsang rhoela na pomsang coeng.
18 For, to Yahweh, belongeth our Shield, And, to the Holy One of Israel, belongeth our King.
BOEIPA tah kaimih kah photling, Israel kah a cim, kaimih kah manghai ni.
19 Then spakest thou in vision of thy men of lovingkindness, and saidst—I have laid help upon a mighty one, I have exalted one chosen from among the people;
Saivai atah, na hlangcim rhoek te mangthui neh na voek tih, “Pilnam khui lamkah ka coelh hlangrhalh taengah bomkung ka mop pah tih ka pomsang coeng.
20 I have found David my servant, With mine own holy oil, have I anointed him;
Ka sal David te ka hmuh coeng tih kamah kah situi cim neh ka koelh coeng.
21 With whom my hand shall be firm, Yea, mine arm, shall strengthen him;
Ka kut te anih taengah tawn uh tih ka ban loh anih a thoh ni.
22 No foe shall make exactions on him, Nor shall, a son of perversity, humiliate him;
Anih te thunkha loh phae pawt vetih dumlai ca long khaw phaep mahpawh.
23 And I will shatter, from before him, his adversaries, And, them who hate him, will I smite;
Tedae a rhal te anih mikhmuh ah ka phop pah vetih a lunguet khaw ka vuek pah ni.
24 And, my faithfulness and my lovingkindness, shall be with him, And, in my Name, exalted shall be his horn;
Te vaengah anih taengah kai kah uepomnah neh sitlohnah om vetih ka ming neh a ki khaw pomsang uh ni.
25 And I will set, in the sea, his hand, And, in the rivers, his right hand;
A kut te tuitunli soah, a bantang kut te tuiva rhoek soah ka khueh pah ni.
26 He, shall cry out unto me, My Father, thou art, My GOD, and my Rock of Salvation!
Anih loh kai te, “Nang tah ka napa, ka Pathen neh kai ham khangnah lungpang,” lan'khue ni.
27 Yea, I, will appoint him, firstborn, Most High to the kings of the earth!
Kai long khaw anih te caming omthang neh diklai manghai rhoek kah a sangkoek la ka khueh ni.
28 Age-abidingly, will I keep for him my lovingkindness, And, my covenant, hath been made steadfast for him;
Kamah kah sitlohnah te anih ham kumhal duela ka ngaithuen rhoe ka ngaithuen pah vetih, ka paipi he anih taengah cak ni.
29 Therefore will I appoint, to futurity, his seed, And his throne as the days of the heavens.
Te dongah a tiingan te a yoeyah la ka thoh pah vetih a ngolkhoel loh vaan khohnin bangla om ni.
30 If his sons forsake my law, And, in my regulations, do not walk;
A ca rhoek loh ka olkhueng he a hnoo uh tih ka tiktamnah dongah a pongpa uh pawt atah,
31 If, my statutes, they profane, And, my commandments, do not keep:
ka khosing te a poeih uh tih ka olpaek te a ngaithuen uh pawt atah,
32 Then will I punish, with a rod, their transgression; And, with stripes, their iniquity:
amih kah boekoek te mancai neh, amih thaesainah te khaw tlohthae neh ka cawh thil van ni.
33 But, my lovingkindness, will I not frustrate from them, Neither will I falsify my faithfulness;
Tedae ka sitlohnah he anih taeng lamloh ka phae pah pawt vetih ka uepomnah te rhi ka lat pah mahpawh.
34 I will not violate my covenant, And that which hath proceeded out of my lips, will I not alter:
Ka paipi he ka poeih pawt vetih ka hmui lamkah aka thoeng khaw ka thovael mahpawh.
35 One thing, have I sworn by my holiness, Verily, to David, will I not lie;
Ka cimcaihnah neh vai ka toemngam tangtae te David taengah khaw ka laithae mahpawh.
36 His seed, age-abidingly, shall remain, And, his throne, be like the sun before me;
Anih kah tiingan te kumhal duela om vetih a ngolkhoel loh kai hmaiah khomik bangla om ni.
37 Like the moon, shall it be established unto times age-abiding, And, a witness, in the skies, hath been made sure. (Selah)
Hl a bangla kumhal ah cikngae vetih khomong soah uepom laipai la om ni,” na ti. (Selah)
38 Yet, thou thyself, hast cast off, and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with thine Anointed One!
Tedae na hlahpham tih na hnawt coeng dongah na koelh hlang te na poe.
39 Thou hast cast down the covenant of thy Servant, Thou hast profaned, to the earth, his crown;
Na salpa kah paipi te na hai tih a rhuisam khaw diklai neh na poeih pah.
40 Thou hast broken down all his defenses, Thou hast laid his fortresses in ruins;
Anih kah tanglung khaw boeih na phae pah tih a hmuencak rhoek khaw porhaknah la na khueh pah.
41 All the passers by the way, have plundered him, He hath become a reproach to his neighbours;
Longpuei kah aka pongpa boeih loh anih te a rheth uh dongah a imben rhoek kah kokhahnah coeng.
42 Thou hast raised the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast gladdened all his enemies;
A rhal rhoek kah bantang kut te na pomsang pah tih a thunkha boeih kah ko na hoe sak.
43 Yea thou hast turned the edge of his sword, Neither hast thou caused him to stand in the battle;
A cunghang taeh khaw na kolong pah sak tih caemtloek vaengah khaw na duel pawh.
44 Thou hast brought to an end his splendour, And, his throne—to the ground, hast thou hurled;
A caihcilnah te na kangkuen sak tih a ngolkhoel te diklai la na voeih pah.
45 Thou hast shortened the days of his youths, —Thou hast covered him with shame. (Selah)
A cacawn tue na rhaem pah tih, yah neh na thing. (Selah)
46 How long, O Yahweh, Wilt thou hide thyself utterly? Shall thine indignation, burn like fire?
BOEIPA nang mevaeng hil nim na thuh uh vetih, na kosi loh hmai bangla a yoeyah la rhong ve?
47 Remember how short-lived, I, am, Wherefore, in vain, hast thou created all the sons of Adam?
Hlang ca rhoek boeih na suen he a poeyoek mai la. Te dongah mebang khosaknah dongah khaw kai he m'poek lah.
48 Who is the man that shall live, and not see death? That can deliver his soul from the hand of hades. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Mebang hlang nim aka hing tih dueknah hmuh pawt ham, saelkhui kut lamkah a hinglu te aka poeng aka hal thai? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 Where are thy former lovingkindnesses, O My Lord? Thou didst swear unto David, in thy faithfulness!
Ka Boeipa aw, lamhma kah na sitlohnah te ta? David taengah na uepomnah neh na toemngam te.
50 Remember, O My Lord, the reproach of thy servants, I have carried in my bosom the insult of the peoples:
Ka Boeipa aw na sal sokah kokhahnah he poek lah. Pilnam kah tuituknah boeih he ka kodang ah ka phueih he.
51 In that thy foes have reproached, O Yahweh, In that they have reproached the footsteps of thine Anointed One!
BOEIPA aw, na thunkha rhoek loh m'veet uh coeng te, na koelh hlang kah kholaeh khaw a veet uh coeng te.
52 Blessed be Yahweh to times age-abiding, Amen, and Amen!
BOEIPA tah kumhal duela a yoethen pai. Amen phoeiah Amen.
