Psalms 104
1 [I tell] myself that I should praise Yahweh. Yahweh, my God, you are very great! Like a king has on his royal robes [MET], you have honor and majesty/greatness all around you!
Aw ka hinghaih, Angraeng to tahamhoihaih paek ah; Aw Angraeng ka Sithaw, nang loe na len parai; nang loe lensawk thacakhaih hoiah nam thoep.
2 You [created/caused] light to be like your robe [MET]. You spread out the sky like [a man sets up] a tent.
Anih loe aanghaih to kahni baktiah angkhuk; vannawk to kahni im baktiah payuengh,
3 You made/put your home [in heaven], above the rain clouds in the sky, [like a man puts the] rafters of his house in place [MET]. You made/caused the clouds to be like chariots [to carry you].
a ohhaih ranui im tung to tuinawk thungah a suek; tamainawk to hrang lakok ah a sak moe, takhi ih pakhraehnawk nuiah a caeh,
4 You caused the winds to be [like] your messengers [MET], and flames of fire to be [like] your servants.
angmah ih vankaminawk to takhi baktiah a sak; angmah ih toksah kaminawk to hmaipalai baktiah a sak;
5 You placed the world firmly on its foundation so that it can never be moved/shaken.
dungzan khoek to angthuih ving han ai ah, long angdoethaih ahmuen to a sak.
6 [Later], you covered the earth with a flood, like a blanket, with the water that covered the mountains.
Long to kahni hoiah khuk baktih toengah kathuk tui hoiah na khuk; maenawk nuiah tui na ohsak.
7 [But] when you rebuked the water, the oceans receded; your voice spoke like thunder, and then the waters rushed away.
Na thuitaek pongah tuinawk loe cawnh o; nangmah ih khopazih tuen pongah karangah a cawnh o.
8 Mountains rose up [from the water], and the valleys sank down to the levels that you had determined for them.
Tuinawk loe mae nuiah long o tahang; azawnnawk ah long o tathuk moe, nihcae han na sak pae ih ahmuen ah a long o.
9 [Then] you set a boundary for the oceans, a boundary that they cannot cross; their water will never again cover the [whole] earth.
Tuinawk amlaem o moe, long to uem han ai ah, tui doeh amsah han ai ah, angzithaih ramri to na suek pae.
10 You make/cause springs to pour [water] into ravines; their [water] flows down between the mountains.
Maenawk salak ih azawnnawk ah tui to na pueksak.
11 Those [streams] provide water for all the animals [to drink]; the wild donkeys [drink the water and] are no longer thirsty.
Taw ah kaom moinawk boih hanah na naeksak; taw ih hrangnawk tui anghae na dipsak.
12 Birds make their nests alongside [the streams], and they sing among the branches [of the trees].
Van ih tavaanawk loe tui taengah tabu boh o; thing tanghangnawk salakah hang o.
13 From (your home in heaven/the sky) you send rain down on the mountains, and you fill the earth with many good things that you create.
A ohhaih ranui ih im hoiah maenawk to tui a bawh; long loe na toksakhaih atho hoiah zok amhah boeh.
14 You make/cause grass to grow for the cattle [to eat], and you make/cause plants to grow for people. In that way [animals and people] get their food from [what grows in] the soil.
Anih mah maitawnawk hanah phroh amprawksak; kami hanah anqam kahing amprawksak pongah, kami loe long hoiah caaknaek to a hnuk,
15 We get [grapes to make] [MTY] wine to [drink and] make us cheerful, and we get [olives to make] [MTY] olive oil to [put on our] skin and cause it to shine, and we get [grain to make] [MTY] bread to give us strength.
kami poeknawmsak thaih misurtui, mikhmai pansak hanah situi, palungthin thacaksak hanah takaw to a paek.
16 Yahweh, you [send plenty of rain to] water your trees, the cedar [trees] that you planted in Lebanon.
Angraeng ih thingnawk loe tui amhah o; Lebanon ah a thling ih sidar thingnawk nuiah,
17 Birds make their nests in those [trees]; even storks make their nests in pine/fir trees.
tavaanawk tabu boh o; tahnong kapaw tuilawnnawk loe far thingnawk nuiah tabu boh o.
18 High up in the mountains the wild goats live, and hyraxes/badgers live in the crags/crevices in the rocks.
Maesangnawk to saza hoi satharnawk prathaih ahmuen ah a suek; cathaengnawk loe savehnawk ohhaih ahmuen ah a suek pae.
19 [Yahweh], you made the moon to indicate the times for our festivals, and you made the sun that knows when to go down.
Atue panoek hanah khrah to a sak; ni mah doeh niduemhaih atue to panoek.
20 You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the animals in the forest prowl around, [looking for food].
Vinghaih to na sak moe, khoving naah, taw ih moinawk boih avah o.
21 At night the young lions roar as they seek their prey, [but] they depend on you to give them food.
Saning nawk kaipuinawk loe taw ih moinawk kaek hanah a hang o; Sithaw khaeah caak han koi moi to pakrong o.
22 At dawn, they go back to their dens and lie down.
Ni tacawt naah nawnto angpop o moe, angmacae ih thlungkhaw thungah tabok o.
23 And during the daytime, people go to their work; they work until it is evening.
To naah kami loe toksak hanah caeh moe, duembang khoek to tok a sak.
24 Yahweh, you have made so many different kinds of things! You were [very] wise as you made them all. The earth is full of the creatures that you [made].
Aw Angraeng, na toksakhaih loe pop parai! To hmuennawk boih to palunghahaih hoiah na sak; long loe na sak ih hmuennawk hoiah koi,
25 [We see] the ocean which is very large [DOU]! It is full of many kinds of living creatures, big ones and little ones.
kakawk parai tuipui doeh oh moe, kathoeng kalen moinawk hoi kroeklaek ai, long ah kavak moinawk doeh oh o.
26 We see the ships which sail along! We see the huge sea monster, which you made to (splash around/play) in the sea.
Palongpuinawk loe to ahmuen ah caeh o; to ah amhai hanah, na sak ih kalen pui Leviathan doeh oh.
27 All of those creatures depend on you to give them the food that they need.
To moinawk loe nang khaeah ni amha o, atue phak naah to moinawk to na pacah.
28 When you give them the food that they need, they gather it. You give them what you have in your hand, and they [eat it and] are satisfied.
Na paek ih buh to ni, nihcae mah caak o; na ban pathae naah nihcae loe kahoih hmuen hoiah koi o.
29 [But] if you refuse to give food to them, they become terrified. And when you cause them to stop breathing, they die; their bodies [decay and] become soil again.
Mikhmai na hawk naah, nihcae raihaih tong o; nihcae anghahhaih takhi na lak pae ving naah, nihcae loe duek o moe, maiphu ah amlaem o let.
30 When you cause newborn creatures to begin to breathe, they start to live; you give new life to all the living creatures on the earth.
Na Muithla to na patoeh moe, nihcae to na sak; long krang hae nang thasak let.
31 I want the glory of Yahweh to last forever. I want him to rejoice about [all] the things that he has created.
Angraeng lensawkhaih loe dungzan khoek to om poe tih; Angraeng loe a toksakhaihnawk pongah anghoe tih.
32 He causes the earth to shake [just] by looking at it! By [merely] touching the mountains he makes/causes them to pour out fire and smoke!
Long to a khet moe, anghuensak; anih mah maenawk sui naah, hmaikhue tacawt o.
33 I will sing to Yahweh (as long as I live/throughout my entire life). I will praise my God until the day that I die.
Ka hing thung Angraeng khaeah laa ka sak han; khosak nathung ka Sithaw pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
34 I want Yahweh to be pleased by all those things that I have thought [about him], because I rejoice about [knowing] him.
Ka poekhaih loe angmah khaeah anghoehaih ah om nasoe; kai loe Angraeng ah kang hoe han.
35 [But] I desire that sinners will disappear from the earth, so that there will be no more wicked [people]! [But as for] me, I will praise Yahweh! (Praise him/Hallelujah)!
Kazae kaminawk loe long hoiah anghmaa o nasoe loe, kasae kaminawk doeh om o hmah lai nasoe. Aw ka hinghaih, Angraeng to tahamhoihaih paek ah. Angraeng to pakoeh ah.
