Psalms 108
1 God, I am (very confident/trusting completely) [IDM] in you. I will sing to praise [you]. with all my inner being.
David kah Tingtoeng laa Pathen aw ka lungbuei cikngae la ka hlai vetih ka thangpomnah nen khaw ka tingtoeng ni.
2 I will arise before the sun rises, and I will [praise you while I play] my [big] harp and my (lyre/small harp).
Thangp a neh rhotoeng haenghang lamtah khopo ah kai ka haeng lah eh.
3 [I prayed], “Yahweh, I will thank you among [all] the people-groups; I will sing to praise you among the nations,
Pilnam rhoek lakliah BOEIPA namah te kan uem saeh lamtah, namtu pawt taengah nang kan tingtoeng eh.
4 because your faithful love for us reaches up to the heavens, and your faithfully doing what you promise [is as great as the distance] up to the clouds.
Na sitlohnah tah vaan lakah sang tih, na oltak loh khomong khaw a puet.
5 Yahweh, [show] in the heavens that you are very great! And [show] your glory [to people] all over the earth!
Pathen tah vaan ah, na thangpomnah te diklai pum ah pomsang pai saeh.
6 Answer our [prayers] and by your power help us [MTY] [to defeat our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, may be saved/rescued.”
Na lungnah rhoek te pumcum uh van saeh. Na bantang kut neh khang lamtah, kai n'doo lah.
7 And [Yahweh answered our prayers and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will joyfully [everything in] [city] and I will distribute among my people [the valuable things] in Succoth Valley.
Pathen loh a hmuencim lamkah, “Ka sundaep vetih, Shekhem te ka boe phoeiah Sukkoth kol ka suem ni.
8 The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my war helmet, and [the tribe of Judah] is like the (scepter/stick that I hold which shows that I am the ruler) [MET];
Gilead he kai kah tih, Manasseh khaw kai kah. Ephraim khaw ka lu ham lunghim tih, Judah khaw ka taem ni.
9 the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
Moab tah kai kah tuihluknah am ni. Edom soah ka khokhom ka voeih tih, Philistia te ka yuhui thil.
10 [Because we want to attack the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.) [RHQ]
Hmuencak khopuei la ulong kai n'khuen eh? Edom la ulong kai m'mawt eh?,” a ti.
11 God, we [hope that] [RHQ] you have not abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our army marches out [to fight our enemies].
Pathen nang loh kaimih nan hlahpham pawt tih, Pathen namah te kaimih kah caempuei rhoek taengla na pawk moenih a?
12 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Hlang kah loeihnah he a poeyoek. Te dongah rhal taengah khaw, kaimih he bomnah m'pae lah.
13 [But] with you [helping us], we shall win; you will [enable us to] defeat our enemies.
Pathen neh caem ka tloek uh vetih, ka rhal ka suntlae ni.
