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 hqingnaak, Bawipa kyihcah lah. Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, nang taw bau soeih hyk ti; boeimang ypawmnaak ing thoeihcam qu hyk ti.
2 You [created/caused] light to be like your robe [MET]. You spread out the sky like [a man sets up] a tent.
Vangnaak ce hi amyihna bai nawh; khankhqi ce hi im amyihna phyl hy,
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 awmnaak ak khan ipkaikhqi ce tuikhqik khan awh zilh ang hlakhqi awh ce ngawi hy.
4 You caused the winds to be [like] your messengers [MET], and flames of fire to be [like] your servants.
Zilh ce a ceityihkhqi na sai nawh; maikqawng ing mai ce a tyihzawih na sai hy.
5 You placed the world firmly on its foundation so that it can never be moved/shaken.
Khawmdek ve ang hangnaak hun awh hawih nawh, am thoeih qoe hy.
6 [Later], you covered the earth with a flood, like a blanket, with the water that covered the mountains.
Tuihdung ingkaw hi amyihna zawl malh nawh; tlangkhqi ak khan awh tui pha sak hyk ti.
7 [But] when you rebuked the water, the oceans receded; your voice spoke like thunder, and then the waters rushed away.
Cehlai nang ing na zyih a dawngawh tuikhqi cen nawh, nang a khawhum awi awh ang tawnna cen hy;
8 Mountains rose up [from the water], and the valleys sank down to the levels that you had determined for them.
tlangkhqik khanna lawng unawh tuikawkhqi awh awm nung lawng uhy, a mingmih aham hun na qoek na bah peeknaak hun awh lawng uhy.
9 [Then] you set a boundary for the oceans, a boundary that they cannot cross; their water will never again cover the [whole] earth.
Cekkhqi amang lawngnaak thai aham qamqi taak pe hyk ti; ityk awh awm khawmdek ve am leu voel tikaw.
10 You make/cause springs to pour [water] into ravines; their [water] flows down between the mountains.
Lawngsip awm sak nawh lawnghawi dung awh lawng sak hy; tlangkhqi anglakawh ce lawng hy.
11 Those [streams] provide water for all the animals [to drink]; the wild donkeys [drink the water and] are no longer thirsty.
Qam awhkaw chukphakhqi boeih ce awk sak nawh; kqawng meqangkhqi ami tui ngaih sit hy.
12 Birds make their nests alongside [the streams], and they sing among the branches [of the trees].
Khan nakaw phakhqi ing tuikeng awh bu sawn unawh; thingpangkhqi awh laa sa uhy.
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 awmnaak aham im awhkawng tlangkhqi ce tui ing syp nawh; a bibinaak ak thaih ing khawmdek ve phoen phyi sak hy.
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.
Khqin aham qam cawn sak nawh, thlanghqing aham tawihah anhah cawt sak hy – khawmdek awhkawng buh a an taak law pehy:
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.
thlang ak kawlung ak zeel sak misur tui, haai a plangnaak aham situi, ak kawlung tha ak awm sak phaihpi ce pehy.
16 Yahweh, you [send plenty of rain to] water your trees, the cedar [trees] that you planted in Lebanon.
Bawipa a thingkhqi, Lebanon awh amah ing ang lingkhqi ce khaw ing ak qui na syp hy.
17 Birds make their nests in those [trees]; even storks make their nests in pine/fir trees.
Cawh phakhqi ing bu sawn unawh, sidar a thing awh phungawkhqi ing im ta uhy.
18 High up in the mountains the wild goats live, and hyraxes/badgers live in the crags/crevices in the rocks.
Tlang sangkhqi cetaw sangza sithai awmnaak hun na awm nawh; minpoengkhqi cetaw phihkhqi a awmnaak hun na awm hy.
19 [Yahweh], you made the moon to indicate the times for our festivals, and you made the sun that knows when to go down.
Hla ing khawcan sim nawh, khawmik ing a nung tlaak tym sim hy.
20 You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the animals in the forest prowl around, [looking for food].
Nang ing thannaak haw law tiksaw, khawmthan na coeng hy, cawh khqinkhqi lym ang hang uhy.
21 At night the young lions roar as they seek their prey, [but] they depend on you to give them food.
Sendeihkhqi ing khqin a ai kawi tu aham ami ngaih awh kawk unawh, Khawsa venawh kawng ai sui uhy.
22 At dawn, they go back to their dens and lie down.
Khawmik ang thoeng law awhtaw qeng sap uhy; a awmnaak lukkawk khuina voei unawh zaih uhy.
23 And during the daytime, people go to their work; they work until it is evening.
Cawh thlang ing bibi aham cet nawh, khawmy dy bi sai hy.
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 Bawipa, na bibi ve kqeng soeih mah hy! Cyihnaak ing vemyihkhqi boeih ve sai hyk ti; khawmdek ve na sai ik-oeih ing bengen hy.
25 [We see] the ocean which is very large [DOU]! It is full of many kinds of living creatures, big ones and little ones.
Ak kau soeih tuicunli awm awm nawh, noet noeng kaana a sai lumngakhqi ak zawi ak bau awm hy.
26 We see the ships which sail along! We see the huge sea monster, which you made to (splash around/play) in the sea.
Cawh lawk baukhqi hu hai na cet unawh, cawh nang ing tuinga ang lymnaak khoek hun ce sai pe hyk ti.
27 All of those creatures depend on you to give them the food that they need.
A tym can awh nang ing buh na peek hly ce lamtoen doena nang ce ni toek uhy.
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.
Cekkhqi ce buh na peek awh, a mingmih ing cung hloep uhy, nang ing na kut nak thlek awh cekkhqi ing ik-oeik leek ing be uhy.
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.
Cehlai haai na thuh awh, mawn uhy; cekkhqi ang hqi ce na lawh peek valh awh, thi unawh dekvai na hlat uhy.
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.
Nang Myihla ce na tyih awh, a mingmih ce sai na awm unawh, nang ing khawmdek ce tlaih pan hyk ti.
31 I want the glory of Yahweh to last forever. I want him to rejoice about [all] the things that he has created.
Bawipa a boeimangnaak taw kumqui dy awm poe seh; a bibinaak awh Bawipa taw zeel seh –
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!
khawmdek toek nawh, tyn sak hy, tlangkhqi bi nawh khu sak hy.
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 hqing khui pyt Bawipa venawh laa sa kawng nyng; ka hqing khui ka Khawsa kyihcahnaak laa sa vang nyng.
34 I want Yahweh to be pleased by all those things that I have thought [about him], because I rejoice about [knowing] him.
Bawipa awh ka zeel lawt amyihna, kak kawpoeknaak ve a venawh zeelnaak na awm seh.
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)!
Cehlai thlak thawlhkhqi taw khawmdek awhkawng cing baat u seitaw thlakchekhqi awm koeh awm voel u seh. Aw ka hqingnaak, Bawipa ce kyihcah lah.
