< Psalms 106 >

1 Praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh, because he does good things [for us]; he faithfully loves [us] forever/continually!
Bawipa taw kyihcah lah uh. Bawipa taw a leek a dawngawh, a venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn lah uh; a lungnaak awm kumqui dyna cak hy.
2 [Because Yahweh has done many great things], no one can [RHQ] tell all the great things that Yahweh has done, and no one can praise him enough/sufficiently.
U ing Bawipa ak thaawm ik-oeih sai ce kqawn thai nawh a kyihcahnaak ce ak kqawn thai boeih kaw?
3 (Happy are/He is pleased with) those who act fairly/justly, with those who always do what is right.
Ik-oeih thym ce sai phat nawh, ik-oeih thym ce ak sai phatkhqi taw a zoseen hy.
4 Yahweh, be kind to me when you help your people; help me when you rescue/save them.
Aw Bawipa nak thlangkhqi venawh nak kaw a law awh kai awm koeh nim hilh, cekkhqi ce na hul awh kai anik hulkung law lawt seh,
5 Allow me to see it when your people become prosperous again and when [all the people of] your nation, [Israel], are happy; allow me to be happy with them! I want to praise you along with [all] those [others] who belong to you.
nak tyh thlangkhqi a zo awmnaak ce pang lawt kawng nyng saw, na pilnamkhqi a zeelnaak ce ka bawm coengawh namah kyihcah doena ka qo ce pang thai lawt kawng.
6 We and our ancestors have sinned; we have done things that were very wicked [DOU].
Ka pakhqi ami thawlh amyihna, kaimih awm thawlh unyng; ik-oeih sai thawlh unyng ak che soeih na sai unyng.
7 When our ancestors were in Egypt, they did not pay attention to the wonderful things that Yahweh did; they forgot about the many times that he showed that he faithfully loved them. Instead, when they were at the Red Sea, they rebelled against God, who is greater than any other god.
Ka pakhqi Izip qam awh ami awm awh, nang ak kawpoek kyi ik-oeih saikhqi ce ikaw na awm am poek unawh; nam qeennaak khawzah ce am sim voel uhy, tuicunli keng awh, Tuicunli Sen awh oelh uhy.
8 But he rescued them for the sake of his own [reputation] in order that he could show that he is very powerful.
Cehlai amah ak thaawm ik-oeih sai thainaak ce ang dang thainaak aham ang ming ak caming cekkhqi ce hul hy.
9 He rebuked the Red Sea and it became dry, and [then] while he led our ancestors across it, they walked through it as though it were as dry as a desert [SIM].
Tuicunli Sen ce zyi nawh kak qup hy; cekkhqi ce qamkoh awhkaw amyihna tuihdung khuiawh kawng hquisawi poe hy.
10 In that way he rescued them from the power [MTY] of their enemies who hated them [DOU].
A thunkhakhqi kut awhkawng hul nawh; a qaalkhqi kut awhkawng thaawng hy.
11 [Then] their enemies were drowned in the water [of the Red Sea]; not one of them was left.
Tui ing a qaalkhqi ce sing khup nawh; pynoet awm am loet uhy.
12 When that happened, our ancestors believed [that Yahweh had truly done for them] what he had promised to do, and they sang to praise him.
Cawh ak awikamnaak ce cangna unawh amah kyihcahnaak laa ce sa uhy.
13 But they soon forgot what he had done for them; they [did things] without waiting to find out what Yahweh wanted them to do.
Cehlai iqyt awm a dii hlanawh ik-oeih a sai peekkhqi ce hilh nawn bai unawh am cuk kiknaak awm am sim voel bai uhy.
14 They intensely wanted [food like they formerly ate in Egypt]. They [did evil things to] find out [if they could do those things without God punishing them].
Qamkoh awh a mimah a ngaihnaak awh pe qu unawh; khawkpawng awh Khawsa ce noek a dak uhy.
15 [So] he gave them what they requested, but he [also] caused a terrible disease to afflict them.
Cedawngawh cekkhqi ing a thoeh ce pehy, cehlai pimqep tlawhnaak ce pha pe sak hy.
16 [Later] when [some of] the men became jealous of Moses and [his older brother] Aaron, who was dedicated [to serve Yahweh by being a priest],
Hi im awh Mosi ingkaw Bawipa venawh nawn na ak awm Aaron ce yt uhy.
17 the ground opened up and swallowed Dathan and [also] buried Abiram and his family.
Khawmdek ing ang nawh Dathan ce daih hy; Abiqam a pyikhqi ce pup malh hy.
18 And [God sent] a fire down [from heaven] which burned up [all] the wicked [people who (supported them/agreed with) them].
A hubatkhqing lak awh mai kqawng pung nawh, maikqawng ing thlakchekhqi ce ui boeih hy.
19 Then the [Israeli leaders] made a gold statue at Sinai [Mountain] and worshiped it.
Horeb awh vaitaw ca sai unawh cawhkaw myi thi ing ami hloi ce bawk uhy.
20 Instead of worshiping [our] glorious God, they [started to] worship a statue of a bull that eats grass!
A mimah a boeimangnaak ce qam ak ai vaitaw myi ing thung uhy.
21 They forgot about God, who had rescued them by the great miracles that he performed in Egypt.
Izip qam awh ik-oeih ak bau soeih sai nawh a mingmih ak hulkung Khawsa ce hilh uhy;
22 They forgot about the wonderful things that he did for them in Egypt and the amazing/awesome things that he did for them at the Red Sea.
anih ing Ham qam awh kawpoek kyi ik-oeihkhqi sai nawh Tuicunli Sen keng awh kqih awm ik-oeih ce sai pehy.
23 Because of that, God said that he would get rid of the Israelis, but Moses, whom God had chosen [to serve him], pleaded with God [not to get rid of them]. And as a result God did not destroy them.
Ce a dawngawh a mingmih ama seetnaak aham ak kawsonaak sit sak aham, amah ak thlang tyh Mosi mah a kunnaak hly kawi awh ama nang dyih khoep mantaw cekkhqi ce plawci sak kaw.
24 [Later], our ancestors (refused/were afraid) to enter beautiful [Canaan] land because they did not believe [that God would enable them to take the land from the people who were living there, as] he had promised.
Qam leek soeih mai ikaw na am hu unawh; ak awikamnaak awm ap cangna uhy.
25 They stayed in their tents and grumbled and would not pay attention to what Yahweh said that they should do.
A mimah a hi imkhqi awh kawso unawh Bawipak awi ce am ngai uhy.
26 So he solemnly [MTY] told them that he would cause them to die [there] in the desert,
Cedawngawh cekkhqi ce qamkoh awh tluk sak aham a kut phyl nawh tuui khyn hy,
27 and that he would scatter their descendants among the [people of other] nations/people-groups [who did not believe in him], and that he would allow them to die in those lands.
a cadil naakhqi ing phynlum kut awh tlu unawh qampum awh a thek a zak na ami awmnaak aham tuui khyn sih hy.
28 Later the Israeli people [started to] worship [the idol of] Baal [who they thought lived] at Peor [Mountain], and they ate [meat that had been] sacrificed to [Baal and those other] lifeless gods.
Peor awhkaw Baal benna hawi qu lat nawh, hqingnaak amak ta khawsakhqi venawh ami nawn lucik buh a ankhqi ce ai uhy;
29 Yahweh became [very] angry because of what they had done, [so again] he sent a terrible disease to attack/strike them.
ik-oeih che sainaak ingkaw Khawsak kawsonaak ce ami sai a dawngawh, a mingmih anglakawh tlawhnaak ce tlung pehy.
30 But Phinehas stood up and punished/killed [the ones who had sinned greatly], and as a result the (plague/serious disease) ended.
Cehlai Phinehas ce tho nawh cekkhqing lak awh ang dyih a dawngawh tlawh khap qu dup hy.
31 People have remembered that righteous thing that Phinehas did, and in future years people will remember it.
Vawhkaw ik-oeih a sai awh anih ak law hly kawi amak dyt qoe cadil naa dy ing thlakdyng na kqawn uhy.
32 [Then] at Meribah Springs our ancestors caused Yahweh to become angry, and as a result Moses had trouble.
Meribah a tuihkawng awh Bawipa kawso sak unawh, cekkhqi dawngawh Mosi a venawh kyinaak pha pehy;
33 They caused Moses to become very angry [IDM], and he said things that were foolish.
Khawsa Myihla ce amim tu a dawngawh, Mosi a hui awhkawng poek kaana awi thoeng tara hy.
34 Our ancestors did not destroy the people [who did not believe in Yahweh] like he told them to do.
Bawipa ing awi a peeknaak amyihna, cekkhqi ing thlangkhqi cetaw am plawci sak uhy,
35 Instead, they mingled with people from those people-groups, and they started to do the evil things that those people did.
cehlai phyn chang thlangkhqi mi kqit qu unawh cekkhqi a singzoe ce oet uhy.
36 Our ancestors worshiped the idols of those people, which resulted in their being destroyed/exiled/taken to another country [MET].
A mimah aham dawng na amik dun qu, thlakchang a myiqawl ce bawk uhy.
37 [Some of] the Israelis sacrificed their sons and daughters to the demons [that those idols represented].
Qaai a venawh a capakhqi ingkaw a canukhqi ce lucik bulnaak na pe uhy.
38 They killed [MTY] their own children, who (were innocent/had not done things that were wrong), and offered them as sacrifices to the idols in Canaan. [As a result], Canaan land was polluted by those murders [MTY].
Thawlhnaak amak awm a capakhqi ingkaw a canukhqi a thi ce Kanankhqi a myiqawl ami bawknaak awh thoeh sak unawh, thi ingkaw qam ce tyih ak awm na sai uhy.
39 So by their deeds they caused themselves to become unacceptable to God; [because they did not faithfully worship only God], [they became like] women who sleep with other men [instead of sleeping only with their husbands] [MET].
A mimah ingawm ik-oeih sai ing tyih awm sak uhy; a ik-oeih sainaak ing pup zawi na coeng uhy.
40 So Yahweh became very angry with his people; he was completely disgusted with them.
Cedawngawh Bawipa taw ak thlangkhqik khan awh ak kawso nawh ak qo ak pang hly kawikhqi ce tyih hy.
41 [As a result] he allowed people-groups [who did not believe in him] to conquer them, so those who hated our ancestors started to rule over them.
Cedawngawh cekkhqi ce thlangphyn khqi kut awh pe nawh, a qaalkhqi ing uk khqi hy.
42 Their enemies (oppressed them/treated them cruelly) and completely controlled them [MET].
A qaalkhqi ing thekha nak khqi nawh a saithainaak ak kaiawh tak khqi hy.
43 Many times Yahweh rescued them, but they continued to rebel against him, and they were finally destroyed because of the sins that they committed.
Cekkhqi ce hul khqi khing hawh hlai hy, amah ce ami tuk lat lat a dawngawh a mimah a thawlhnaak awh cum uhy.
44 However, Yahweh [always] heard them when they cried out to him; he listened to them when they were distressed.
Cehlai cekkhqi ang kqangnaak awi ce ang zaak awh ami khuikhanaak ce ngai na bai hy;
45 For their sake, he thought about the agreement/promise that he had made [to bless] them, and because he never stopped loving them very much, he changed his mind [about punishing them more].
cekkhqi ce ak poek awh a paipi sai ce poek tlaih nawh a lungnaak bau soeih awh hul qu tlaih hy.
46 He caused all those who had taken the Israelis [to Babylonia] to (feel sorry for/pity) them.
A mingmih tamnaa na ak sawikungkhqi ce qeen sak khqi nawn hy.
47 Yahweh our God, rescue/save us and bring us back [to Israel] from among those people-groups in order that we may thank you [MTY] and joyfully praise you.
Nang ming ciim awh zeelnaak awi ka mik kqawn thainaak aham, Aw Bawipa kaimih a Khawsa, kaimih ve ni hul khqi nawhtaw, qampum awhkawng ni cunboem khqi tlaih lah.
48 Praise Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], praise him now and forever! And I want everyone to say, “Amen/May it be so!” Praise Yahweh!
Bawipa, Israelkhqi a Khawsa venawh kumqui coeng kumqui dy kyihcahnaak awm seh. Thlang boeih ing, “Amen!” ti seh.
