Psalms 105
1 Give thanks to Yahweh, and tell others that he is very great! Tell everyone in the world what he has done!
Bawipa venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn unawh taw, ang ming ce khy lah uh; a ik-oeih sai ce thlangphyn a venawh sim sak lah uh.
2 Sing to him; praise him as you sing to him; tell others about his wonderful miracles.
A venawh laa sa unawh taw, am kyihcahnaak laa sa lah uh; kawpoek kyi ik-oeih a sai ce kqawn uh.
3 Be happy because [you know that] he [MTY] is holy! You people who worship Yahweh, rejoice!
Ang ming ciim boeimang seitaw; Bawipa ak suikhqi ak kawlung taw zeel seh.
4 Ask Yahweh to help you and give you his strength, and continue to ask him!
Bawipa ingkaw ak thaawmnaak ce sui u nawhtaw; a haai ce a poepa na sui lah uh.
5 You people who are descendants of God’s servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, the man God chose, think about [all] the wonderful things that he has done: He performed miracles, and he punished [all our enemies].
Kawpoek kyi ngaihak ik-oeih a saikhqi ingkaw awidengnaak ak kqawn ce sim poe lah uh,
a tyihzawih Abaraham a cadilkhqi aw, amah ing ak tyh Jakob cakhqi aw sim poe lah uh.
7 He is Yahweh, our God. He rules and judges [people] throughout the earth.
Anih taw Bawipa ningnih a Khawsa na awm hy; a awidengnaak taw khawmdek boeih ak khan awh awm hy.
8 He never forgets the agreement that he made; he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations;
A paipi ce kumqui dyna sim poe nawh, ak awipeek ce, cadil naa thong oet dyna sim poe hy,
9 that is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement with Isaac.
Abraham ing ani awk haih paipi ing Isak a venawh awi a taak ce sim khak hy.
10 [Later] he confirmed it [again] to Jacob as an agreement for the Israeli [people] that would last forever.
Ce ak awi ce awitlyh a myihna Jakob a venawh caksak nawh, Israel a venawh kumqui paipi na tahy:
11 What he said was, “I will give you the Canaan region; it will belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
Kanan qam ce ni pe kawng nyng saw na taham qo amyihna pang kawp ti,” tina hy.
12 [He said that to them] when there were only a few of them, a tiny group of people who were living in that land like strangers.
Thlangmi ami zawica awh, ak zawica tloek ce, qam khuiawh khin na awm hy,
13 They continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
phyn pynoet ingkaw pynoet a venawh, qam pynoet ingkaw pynoet a venawh pla khing uhy.
14 But he did not allow others to oppress them. He warned those kings by saying to them,
U ingawm cekkhqi ce am thekha nak khqi uhy; a mingmih awh sangpahrangkhqi ce toel hy:
15 “Do not do harm the [people] whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
Situi ak sypkhqi ve koeh bi kawm uk ti; ka tawnghakhqi awm nganbawh koeh pe qoe qoe kawm uk ti,” tina hy.
16 He sent a famine to Canaan, and [as a result all the people] had no food to eat.
Ram khuiawh khawseet khawkha pha sak nawh cekkhqi a buh boeih ce hqe pehy;
17 So his people went to Egypt, but first he sent someone there. He sent Joseph, who had been sold to be a slave.
cekkhqi haiawh thlang pynoet – tamnaa na ami zawih Joseph ce tyih pehy.
18 [Later, while Joseph was in prison in Egypt], they put his legs in shackles that bruised his feet, and they put an iron collar around his neck.
A khaw awh khawcehkhqi byn pe unawh, a hawng awh thi quikhqi ing khit uhy,
19 There, Yahweh (refined Joseph’s character/tested Joseph to see if Joseph would continue to trust him), until what Joseph predicted would happen (came true/happened).
amah ing ak kqawn oepchoeh ce a soep hlan khui, Bawipak awi ing ak thym ce a sim sak hlan dy cemyihna awm hy.
20 The king [of Egypt] summoned him, and he set Joseph free; this ruler of many people-groups released Joseph [from prison].
Sangpahrang ing thlang tyi nawh loet sak hy, thlang kqeng ak ukkung ing anih ce loet sak hy.
21 [Then] he appointed him to take care of everything in the king’s household, to take care of everything that the king possessed.
Anih ce ipkhui awh boei na ta nawh, a taak ik-oeihkhqi boeih ak khan awh ukkung na tahy,
22 (Joseph was permitted/He permitted Joseph) to command the king’s servants to do anything that Joseph wanted them to do, and [even] to tell the king’s advisors the things that they should do [for the people of Egypt].
boei capakhqi ce a ngaih amyihna cawngpyi aham ingkaw, a hqamcakhqi cyihnaak cawngpyi aham cemyihna awm sak hy.
23 Later, [Joseph’s father] Jacob arrived in Egypt. He lived like a foreigner in the land that belonged to the descendants of Ham.
Cekcoengawh Israelkhqi ce Izip ram na kun hy; Ham ram awh khin na Jakob ce awm hy.
24 And [years later] Yahweh caused the descendants of Jacob to become very numerous. [As a result], their enemies, [the Egyptians], considered that the Israelis were too strong.
Bawipa ing ak thlangkhqi ce ak thaih qah sak hy; a qaalkhqi ham khawzah na coeng sak hy,
25 [So] Yahweh caused the rulers of Egypt to (turn against/hate) the Israeli people, and they planned ways to get rid of his people.
amah ak thlangkhqi sawhnaak aham cekkhqi ak kawlung ce hawi pe nawh, a tyihzawihkhqi ce huhqyt sak hy.
26 [But then] Yahweh sent his servant Moses along with [Moses’ older brother] Aaron, whom Yahweh had [also] chosen [to be his servant].
A tyihzoeih Mosi ingkaw ak thlang tyk Aaqon ce tyi hy.
27 Those two performed amazing miracles among the people of Egypt, in that land where the descendants of Ham lived.
Cekkqawi ing cekkhqing lak awh kawpoek kyi hatnaak ingkaw ngaihak ik-oeih ce Ham qam awh sai pe hy nih.
28 Yahweh sent darkness, so that the people of Egypt could not see anything [DOU], but the rulers of Egypt refused [RHQ] to obey when [Moses and Aaron] commanded [them to let the Israeli people leave Egypt].
Thannaak ce tyi pe nawh rampum awh khaw than sak hy – kawtih ak awi ce cekkhqi ing am eek pehy na ti nawh nu?
29 Yahweh caused [all] the water in Egypt to become (blood/[red like] blood), and [his doing that] caused all the fish to die.
Tuikhqi ce thi na thoeng sak nawh, ngakhqi thih pe sak kang hy.
30 [Then he caused] the land to become full of frogs; the king and his officials even had frogs in their bedrooms.
A ram khuiawh ta-ukhqi da pe sak nawh a boeikhqi a ihkhunkhqi dyna awm pe sak hy.
31 [Then] Yahweh commanded that flies come, and swarms of them descended [on the people of Egypt], and gnats [also] swarmed across the whole country.
Awi kqawn pe tlaih bai nawh, pikhqi law pe khung bai hy, a rampum awh hlip hqoeng na be sak hy.
32 Instead of sending rain, Yahweh sent [terrible] hail, and lightning flashed throughout the land.
Khawtlan ce qeel na thoeng sak nawh, a rampum awh khaw phla pe sak hy;
33 The hail ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the [other] trees.
misurkungkhqi ingkaw thaikungkhqi deh pe kanglak nawh a qam khuiawh kaw thingkhqi tluk pe sak boeih hy.
34 He commanded locusts to come, and swarms of them came; [so many that] they could not be counted.
Awi kqawn tlaih bai nawh, cawh boeikhqi ce law uhy, noet noeng kaana khamkhawkkhqi ce doem hy;
35 The locusts ate every green plant in the land, ruining all the crops.
a qam khuiawh kaw thinghah ai pe kanglak nawh dek awh ak cawt tawi a an ai pe kang hy.
36 [Then] Yahweh killed the oldest son in every house [of the people of Egypt] [DOU].
Cekcoengawh a ram khui awhkaw cakcyk boeih ce him pehy, thlanghqing ak thaihcykkhqi boeih ce him pehy.
37 Then he brought the Israeli [people] out [from Egypt]; they were carrying loads of [jewelry made of] silver and gold [that the women of Egypt had given to them]. No one was left behind because of being sick.
Sui ingkaw ngun phyih sak nawh, Isarel ce cawn sak hy, a pilnam khuiawh tha amak awm pynoet awm am awm hy.
38 [The people of] Egypt were glad when the Israeli people left, because they had become very afraid of the Israelis.
Israel a dawngawh cekkhqi ak khan awh kqihnaak a pha a dawngawh, cekkhqi ami ceh awh Izipkhqi amik kaw zeel hy.
39 [Then] Yahweh spread a cloud to cover the Israelis; and [at night it became] a big fire [in the sky] to give them light.
Cekkhqi ak dah aham myi zam sak hy, than awh vangnaak ak pe na mai pehy.
40 [Later] the Israelis asked for [meat to eat], and Yahweh sent [flocks of] quail to them, and he gave them plenty of manna [food] from the sky [each morning].
Cekkhqi ing ami thoeh awh, tytyt pe nawh khan nakaw phaihpi ing ak phoenkhqi phyi pe sak hy.
41 [One day] he caused a rock to open up and water poured out [for them to drink]; it was like a river flowing in that desert.
Lungnu awng nawh tui thoeh pe sak hy; kqawng qamkoh awh tuiva a myihna lawng hy.
42 [He did that] because he kept thinking about the sacred promise [that he had given] to his servant, Abraham.
A tyihzawih Abaraham a venawh a peek a awitaak ciim ce sim khak hy.
43 So his people were joyful as he brought them out from Egypt; those people whom he had chosen were shouting joyfully as they went.
Zeel doena ak thlangkhqi ce ceh pyi nawh, ak tyh thlangkhqi ce awmhly khynaak ing hqui a sawi hy;
44 He gave to them the land that belonged to the people-groups [that lived there in Canaan], and the Israelis harvested crops that [other] people had planted.
thlangphyn khqi a ram ce cekkhqi venawh pehy, thlak chang ing a bi a lawh ce ram ce qo na pang uhy –
45 [Yahweh did all these things] in order that his people would do all the things that he had commanded them to do [DOU]. Praise Yahweh!
a mingmih ing ak awipeekkhqi ce hquut unawh a cawngpyinaak awikhqi ce ami hquutnaak thai aham cekkhqi ce sai pehy. Bawipa taw kyihcah lah uh.
