Psalms 107
1 Give thanks to Yahweh, because he always does good [things for us] His faithful love [for us] lasts forever!
Angraeng loe hoih pongah, angmah khaeah kawnhaih lok to thui oh; a palungnathaih loe dungzan khoek to cak.
2 Those whom Yahweh has saved should tell others that he has rescued them from their enemies.
Angraeng mah akrang ih kaminawk mah, anih mah ni misa ban thung hoiah ang krang,
3 He has gathered [those of you] who were [(exiled/taken forcefully)] to many lands; [he has gathered you together from] the east and the west, from the north and from the south.
Anih mah ni, ni angyae, niduem, aluek, aloih, prae congca hoiah nihcae to nawnto pakhueng, tiah thui o nasoe.
4 Some of those [who returned from those countries] wandered in the desert; they were lost and had no homes to live in.
Nihcae loe praezaek ah bomkung om ai ah amhet o; khosak hanah vangpui doeh hnu o ai.
5 They were hungry and thirsty, and they were very discouraged.
Zok amthlam hoi tui anghae ah a oh o moe, a hinghaih thazai o sut.
6 When they were in trouble, they called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from (being distressed/their difficulties).
Raihaih tong naah Angraeng khaeah a qah o, to naah anih mah patangkhanghaih thung hoiah nihcae to pahlong.
7 He led them along a straight road [where they walked safely] to cities [in Canaan] where they could live.
Anih mah a oh o haih vangpui thungah phak o thai hanah, katoeng loklam hoiah caeh haih.
8 They should praise/thank Yahweh for loving them faithfully and for the wonderful things that he does for people.
A hoihhaih hoi kaminawk khaeah sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk pongah, Angraeng khaeah kawnhaih lawk thui o nasoe!
9 He gives thirsty people plenty [of water] to drink, and he gives hungry people plenty of good things [to eat].
Hinghaih tui anghae kami to anih mah dipsak moe, hinghaih zok amthlam kami doeh caak hanah kahoih hmuen hoiah a koisak.
10 Some of them were in very dark [HEN] (places [in Babylonia/other countries]); they were prisoners, suffering because of chains [fastened to their hands and feet].
To baktih kami loe vinghaih hoi duekhaih tahlip thungah anghnut o, patangkhang o moe, sumqui hoiah pathlet o,
11 They were in prison because they had (rebelled against/not obeyed) the message of God; they were there because they had despised the advice given by God, who is greater than all other gods.
nihcae loe Sithaw ih loknawk to aek o moe, Kasang koek mah thuih ih lok to tidoeh sah o ai pongah, to tiah oh o.
12 [That is why] their bodies were worn out from hard labor; when they fell down, there was no one who would help them.
To pongah nihcae mah palungthin pahnaem o thai hanah, karai tok to a saksak; nihcae loe amthaek o, kalawnkung mi doeh om ai.
13 In their troubles, they called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from their being distressed.
Raihaih tong o naah Angraeng khaeah a hang o, nihcae patangkhanghaih thung hoiah anih mah pahlong.
14 He broke the chains that were on their hands and feet; and brought them out of those very dark [prisons].
Anih mah vinghaih, duekhaih tahlip thung hoiah zaeh moe, sumquinawk to a khramh pae.
15 He broke down the [prison] gates that were made of bronze, and cut through the [prison] bars that were made of iron. [So they also] should praise/thank Yahweh for faithfully loving [them], and for [all] the wonderful things that he does for people.
A hoihhaih hoiah kaminawk khaeah sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk pongah, Angraeng khaeah kawnhaih lawkthui o nasoe!
Tipongah tih nahaeloe anih mah sumkamling hoi sak ih khongkha to khaeh moe, ataehhaih sumboeng doeh adaem pae boih boeh.
17 Some of them foolishly rebelled [against God], so they suffered for their sins.
Thoemto kaminawk loe lokaekhaih pongah amthu o moe, a sakpazae o haih pongah, patangkhang o.
18 They did not want to eat any food, and they almost died.
Buh aannawk to panuet o moe, duekhaih khongkha taengah a phak o.
19 In their troubles, they [also] called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from their being distressed.
Raihaih tong o naah Angraeng khaeah a hang o, nihcae patanghaih thung hoiah anih mah pahlong.
20 When he commanded that they be healed, they were healed; he saved them from dying.
Anih mah lok to thuih moe, nihcae to ngantuisak; amrohaih thung hoiah nihcae to pahlong.
21 They [also] should praise/thank Yahweh for faithfully loving them, and for [all] the wonderful things that he does for people.
A hoihhaih hoiah kaminawk khaeah sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk pongah, Angraeng khaeah kawnhaih lawk thui o nasoe!
22 They should give offerings to him to show that they are thankful, and they should sing joyfully about the miracles that he has performed.
Anghoehaih hoiah hmuenpaekhaih to tathlang o nasoe loe, a sak ih hmuennawk to anghoehaih hoiah taphong o nasoe.
23 Some of them sailed in ships; they were selling things [in ports] throughout the world.
Palongpuinawk hoiah tuipui thungah kacaeh, tuipui nuiah toksah kaminawk loe,
24 [As they were sailing], they also saw the miracles that Yahweh performed, the wonderful things that he did [when they were] on very deep seas.
Angraeng ih hmuenmaenawk hoi a sak ih tui thungah kaom dawnrai hmuennawk to hnuk o.
25 He commanded the winds, and they became strong and (stirred up high waves/caused waves to rise high).
Anih mah lokpaek naah takhi song moe, tuiphunawk to angthawksak.
26 The ships [in which they were sailing] were tossed high in the air, and [then] they sank into the (troughs/low places) [between the high waves]; then the sailors were terrified.
Tuiphunawk loe van khoek to angthawk o tahang moe, tui thungah krak o tathuk let; zitthoh parai pongah, palungboeng o.
27 They stumbled about and staggered like drunken men, and they did not know what to do.
Nihcae loe ahnuk ahma angthuih o, mu paqui kami baktiah a caeh o moe, poekhaih palung boeng o sut.
28 In their troubles, they [also] called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from their distresses.
Raihaih tong o naah Angraeng khaeah a hang o, palungboenghaih thung hoiah nihcae to a zaeh.
29 He (calmed the storm/caused the wind to stop blowing), and he caused the waves to completely subside.
Anih mah takhi sae to dipsak moe, tuiphunawk to anghaksak.
30 They were [very] glad when it became calm; and Yahweh brought them safely into a harbor.
Tui anghak naah nihcae anghoe o; to naah a caeh koeh o haih ahmuen ah nihcae to a zaeh.
31 They [also] should praise/thank Yahweh for faithfully loving [them], and for [all] the wonderful things that he does for people.
A hoihhaih hoiah kaminawk khaeah sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk pongah, Angraeng khaeah kawnhaih lawk thui o nasoe!
32 They should praise him among the [Israeli] people when they have gathered together, and they should praise him in front of the leaders [of the country].
Kaminawk angpophaih ahmuen ah anih to pakoeh oh loe, kacoehtanawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah anih to saphaw oh.
33 [Sometimes] Yahweh causes rivers [to become dry], [with the result that the land] becomes a desert, and springs of water become dry land.
Anih loe vapuinawk to praezaek ah angcoengsak moe, tuibap ahmuen doeh long karoem ah angcoengsak,
34 [Sometimes] he causes land that has produced lots of crops to become salty wastelands, [with the result that they do not produce crops]. He does that because the people who live there are [very] wicked.
to ahmuen ah kaom kaminawk ih sethaih pongah, long kahoih prae to thingthai qumpo tacawt thai ai ahmuen ah angcoengsak.
35 [But sometimes] he causes pools of water to appear in deserts, and he causes springs to flow in very dry ground.
Praezaek to tuili ah angcoengsak moe, long karoem to tuibap ah angcoengsak.
36 He brings hungry [people] into that land, to live there and build cities [there].
To ah zok amthlam kaminawk to ohsak moe, angmacae oh haih hanah vangpui to sak o.
37 They plant seeds in their fields, and they plant grapevines that produce big crops [of grapes].
Lawknawk a tawnh o, misur takha a sak o moe, kating ai athaihnawk to tacawt.
38 He blesses the people, and the women give birth to many children, and they have large herds of cattle.
Nihcae to tahamhoihaih a paek moe, pop parai ah angpung o; nihcae ih maitaw hoi tuunawk doeh tamsisak ai.
39 When the number of people becomes smaller and they have been humiliated [by their enemies] by being oppressed and caused to suffer [DOU],
Nihcae loe pacaekthlaekhaih, patangkhanghaih hoi palungsethaih pongah, kami to tamsi o moe, khosak ahnaem o tathuk let.
40 Yahweh shows contempt for the leaders who oppress them, and causes them to wander in deserts where there are no roads.
Anih mah Angraeng ih capanawk to azathaih tongsak moe, loklam kaom ai praezaek ah amhetsak.
41 But he rescues poor [people] from (being in misery/suffering), and causes their families [to increase in number] like flocks of sheep.
Toe amtang kaminawk to patanghaih thung hoiah tapom tahang moe, tuunawk baktiah imthong ah angcoengsak.
42 Godly/Righteous [people will (see/hear about)] these things, and they will rejoice, and wicked people [will hear about these things, too], [but] they will have nothing to say in reply.
Katoeng kaminawk mah to hmuen to hnuk o naah anghoe o tih; kahoih ai kaminawk boih loe angmacae ih pakha to tamuep o tih.
43 Those who are wise should think carefully about those things; they should consider [all the things] that Yahweh [has done to show that he] faithfully loves [them].
Palungha kami loe, hae hmuennawk hae poek ueloe, Angraeng amlunghaih to panoek o tih.
