Psalms 118
1 Tell Yahweh that you thank him very much for the good [things that he has done for you] He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever.
Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Oe BAWIPA koe lunghawilawk dei awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ama teh ahawi, a lungmanae teh a yungyoe a kangning.
2 You Israeli [people] should [repeatedly] shout, “He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever!”
A lungmanae teh a yungyoe a kangning telah Isarelnaw ni atu dei awh naseh.
3 You [priests] who are descendants of Aaron should repeatedly shout, “He faithfully loves us, his people, forever!”
A lungmanae teh a yungyoe a kangning telah Aron imthung ni atu dei awh naseh.
4 All you who revere him should repeatedly shout, “He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever!”
A lungmanae teh a yungyoe a kangning telah BAWIPA ka taket e naw ni atu dei awh naseh.
5 When I was distressed, I called out to Yahweh, and he answered me and set me free [from my worries/troubles].
Ka lungpout nah BAWIPA ka kaw teh, BAWIPA ni hai na pato teh, hmuen akawnae koe na o sak.
6 Yahweh is (on my side/helping me), so I will not be afraid [of anything]. No one [RHQ] can do anything that will [prevent God from blessing] me forever.
BAWIPA ni na kampangkhai dawkvah ka taket mahoeh, Tami ni kai lathueng bangmouh a sak thai han.
7 [Yes], Yahweh is (on my side/helping me), [so] I will look triumphantly at my enemies [while he defeats them].
BAWIPA teh na kabawm e lah ao. Hatdawkvah, na ka hmuhma e naw koe ka lungngai akuep han.
8 It is better to trust in Yahweh than to (depend on/trust in) people.
Tami kâuep hlak BAWIPA kâuep ahawihnawn.
9 It is better to trust Yahweh to protect [us] than to trust [that influential/important] people [will protect us].
Bawinaw kâuep hlak BAWIPA kâuep ahawihnawn.
10 Armies of [MTY] many nations surrounded me, [but] Yahweh enabled me to defeat them by his power [MTY].
Miphun pueng ni na kalup awh. Hatei, ahnimanaw teh BAWIPA min lahoi koung ka raphoe han.
11 They completely surrounded me, [but] I defeated them all by the power of Yahweh.
Ahnimouh ni na kalup awh, na tuembue awh. Hatei, BAWIPA min lahoi koung ka raphoe han.
12 They swarmed around me like [angry] bees; they were like a fire that blazes strongly, but only briefly, in a thornbush, [but] I defeated them by the power [MTY] that Yahweh gave me.
Khoi ni a kayo e patetlah na kalup nakunghai, buruk hmai kang e patetlah a roum awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA min lahoi koung ka raphoe han.
13 [My enemies] attacked me fiercely and almost defeated me, but Yahweh helped me.
Ka rawp nahanlah puenghoi na ka tanawt nakunghai, BAWIPA ni na kabawp.
14 Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one about whom I [always] sing; he has saved me [from my enemies].
BAWIPA teh ka tha hoi ka la doeh. Ahni teh kaie rungngangnae doeh.
15 Listen to the joyful songs of victory being sung in the tents of godly/righteous people! They sing, “Yahweh has defeated our enemies by his mighty power [MTY];
Tami kalannaw e rim dawkvah, konawmnae pawlawk hoi rungngangnae pawlawk teh ao. BAWIPA e aranglae kut ni taranhawinae lahoi a tawk.
16 he has raised his strong right arm [to show he has defeated his enemies]. Yahweh has completely defeated them!”
BAWIPA e aranglae kut teh, tawm lah ao teh, BAWIPA e aranglae kut ni taranhawi lahoi ouk a tawk.
17 I will not be killed [in battle]; I will live to proclaim the great things that Yahweh has done.
Dout laipalah, ka hring vaiteh, BAWIPA hnosak e hah ka pâpho han.
18 Yahweh has punished me severely, but he has not allowed (me to die/[my enemies] to kill me).
BAWIPA ni puenghoi na yue, hatei due hane teh pasoung hoeh rah.
19 [You gatekeepers], open for me the gates of the temple in order that I may enter and thank Yahweh.
Lannae takhang teh na paawng pouh haw. Hawvah ka kâen vaiteh, BAWIPA ka pholen han.
20 Those are the gates [through which we enter the temple to worship] Yahweh; godly/righteous people enter those gates.
Hethateh, BAWIPA e longkha, tami kalannaw a kâen nahane doeh.
21 [Yahweh], I thank you that you answered my prayer, and you saved me [from my enemies].
Nang teh, na pholen han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang ni na pato teh, kaie rungngangnae lah na o.
22 [Yahweh’s promised/chosen king is like] [MET] the stone which the builders rejected [when they were building a house], [but that stone] became the (cornerstone/most important stone in the building).
Im kasakkungnaw ni a pahnawt awh e talung hah alawkpui poung e a takinlung lah ao.
23 (This was done by Yahweh/Yahweh has done this), and it is a wonderful thing for us to see.
Hothateh, BAWIPA ni a sak e doeh. Maimae mithmu haiyah kângairu hanlah ao.
24 This is the day in which [we remember that] Yahweh acted [powerfully to defeat our enemies]; we will rejoice and be glad/happy today.
Hethateh, BAWIPA ni a sak e hnin a tho. Hote hnin dawkvah, lunghawi awh han. Konawm awh han.
25 Yahweh, we plead with you to [keep] rescuing us [from our enemies]. Yahweh, please help us (accomplish/do well) [what we want to do].
Oe BAWIPA, atu na rungngang haw telah ka ratoum. Oe BAWIPA kuepcingnae hah na poe haw telah ka ratoum.
26 Yahweh, bless the one who will come with your authority [MTY]. And from the temple we (bless/[ask Yahweh to] bless) all of you.
BAWIPA min lahoi ka tho e teh tami yawkahawi e doeh. BAWIPA imthung hoi yawhawi teh na poe awh.
27 Yahweh is God, and he has caused his light to shine on us. Come, carrying [palm] branches, and join the people [who are starting] the festival as they go to the altar.
Cathut teh BAWIPA lah ao teh angnae hah na poe awh toe. Thueng nahane hateh thuengnae khoungroe ki dawk rui hoi pâkhit nateh pen awh.
28 [Yahweh], you are the God whom I [worship], and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will tell [everyone] that you are great!
Nang teh, kaie Cathut lah na o, na pholen han. Nang teh, ka Cathut lah na o. Na tawm han.
29 Thank Yahweh, because he does good things [for us] He will faithfully love [us] forever.
Oe, BAWIPA koe lunghawilawk dei awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ama teh ahawi. A lungmanae teh a yungyoe a kangning.
