Psalms 132
1 Yahweh, do not forget [King] David and all the hardships/troubles he endured!
Kasang laa. Aw Angraeng, David hoi anih patangkhanghaih to panoek ah;
2 He made a solemn promise to you, the mighty God whom [our ancestor] Jacob [worshiped].
Angraeng hanah ahmuen ka hnu ai moe, thacak Jakob ih Sithaw hanah ahmuen ka hak ai khoek to, ka mik hae ka iipsak mak ai, ka mikhin doeh ka ngamsak mak ai, tangtang ni kaimah ih kahni imthung ah ka kun mak ai ueloe, ka iihhaih ahmuen ah doeh ka caeh mak ai, tiah anih mah Angraeng khaeah lokkamhaih to sak moe, thacak Jakob Sithaw khaeah lokkamhaih to a sak.
3 He said, “I will not go home, I will not [rest] on my bed,
4 I will not sleep at all
5 until I build a place for Yahweh, a home for the mighty God whom Jacob [worshiped].”
6 In Bethlehem we heard news about the sacred chest. We [went and] found it in the fields of Jearim [city, and we took it to Jerusalem].
Khenah, to kahni im loe Ephratah ah oh, tiah a thaih o moe, kathah thing thungah a hnuk o boeh.
7 [Later we said], “Let’s go to the temple of Yahweh [in Jerusalem]; let’s worship [there] in front of the throne [where he sits].”
Angmah ih kahni imthung ah caeh o si loe, a khokkung ah anih to bok o si.
8 Yahweh, come to the place where you live eternally, to the place where your sacred chest is, to that place that shows that you are very powerful.
Aw Angraeng, nangmah hoi na thacakhaih thingkhong hoi nawnto, angthawk ah loe, nang hakhaih ahmuen ah, angzo ah.
9 I want/desire that the righteous behavior of your priests [will always be evident], [just like the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET], and that your people will [always] shout joyfully.
Na qaimanawk loe toenghaih hoiah amthoep o nasoe loe, nangmah ih kaciim kaminawk mah anghoehaih laa to sah o nasoe.
10 You chose David to serve you [as king of Israel]; do not reject/abandon him!
Na tamna David pongah, situi na bawh ih kami to pahnawt hmah.
11 Yahweh, you made a solemn promise to David, a promise that you will not break. You said, “I will cause your descendants to rule [MTY] as kings like you.
Angraeng loe David khaeah loktang lokkamhaih to sak; lokkamhaih to hnuk amlaem taak mak ai; na takpum ih thingthai ah kaom kami to na angraeng tangkhang nuiah kang hnutsak han.
12 If they keep my agreement with them and obey [all] the commands that I will give them, the line of kings descended from you will never end.”
Na caanawk mah ka lokkamhaih hoi nihcae hanah ka patuk ih ka loknawk to pazui o nahaeloe, nihcae ih caanawk doeh na angraeng tangkhang nuiah dungzan khoek to anghnu o toeng tih.
13 Yahweh has chosen Jerusalem; he has wanted to make that city his home;
Angraeng mah Zion to qoih boeh; anih loe to ah ohhaih ahmuen sak hanah koehhaih tawnh.
14 he said, “This is the city where I will live forever [DOU]; this is the place where I wanted to stay.
Hae loe dungzan ah kang hakhaih ahmuen ah oh; ka koeh pongah, hae ah ka oh han.
15 I will give to the people of Jerusalem all that they need; I will give [enough] food [even] to satisfy the poor people there.
Anih to pop parai caaknaek hoiah tahamhoihaih ka paek moe, amtang angmah ih kaminawk to zok kam hahsak han.
16 I will cause the priests [to behave in a manner worthy of] being ones whom I have saved; [that will be as evident as the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET]; and all my people who live there will shout joyfully.
Angmah ih qaimanawk doeh pahlonghaih hoiah ka khuk han, kaciim angmah ih kaminawk loe anghoehaih laa to sah o tih.
17 There [in Jerusalem] I will cause one of David’s descendants [MET] to become a great king; he also will be my chosen king, and he will be [like a bright] lamp [MET] [that shines continually].
To ah David to taki ka cawnhsak moe, situi ka bawh ih kami hanah hmaithaw to ka sak pae boeh.
18 I will [defeat his] enemies and cause them to be very ashamed/disgraced; but the crown that my king wears will [always] shine.”
Anih ih misanawk to azathaih hoiah ka khuk pae han; toe anih lu nui ih sui lumuek loe ampha tih.
