Psalms 132
1 Yahweh, do not forget [King] David and all the hardships/troubles he endured!
Tangtlaeng Laa Aw BOEIPA David ham a phaep pah te boeih poek pah.
2 He made a solemn promise to you, the mighty God whom [our ancestor] Jacob [worshiped].
BOEIPA taengah a caeng tih Jakob samrhang taengah khaw a caeng coeng.
3 He said, “I will not go home, I will not [rest] on my bed,
Ka dap im khuila ka pawk pawt vetih ka soengca rhaenghmuen khaw ka paan mahpawh.
4 I will not sleep at all
Ka mik te ih sak ham, ka mikkhu te ngam sak ham ka pae mahpawh.
5 until I build a place for Yahweh, a home for the mighty God whom Jacob [worshiped].”
BOEIPA ham a hmuen neh Jakob kah samrhang ham tolhmuen ka hmuh duela.
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].
Khohmuen duup ah m'hmuh te Epharath ah khaw n'yaak uh coeng.
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].”
A tolhmuen la cet uh sih lamtah a kho kah khotloeng taengah bawk uh sih.
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 BOEIPA nang na duemnah neh na sarhi thingkawng taengah thoo lah.
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 khosoih rhoek loh duengnah bai uh saeh lamtah na hlangcim rhoek loh tamhoe uh saeh.
10 You chose David to serve you [as king of Israel]; do not reject/abandon him!
Na sal David ham tah na koelh kah maelhmai te na mangthuung tak moenih.
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.
BOEIPA loh David taengah oltak la a caeng coeng. Na bungko thaihtae lamkah khaw te lamloh mael pawt vetih nang ham ngolkhoel soah kang khueh bitni.
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.”
Ka paipi neh amih ka tukkil ka olphong te na ca rhoek loh a ngaithuen uh atah a ca rhoek khaw na ngolkhoel dongah a yoeyah la ngol uh ni.
13 Yahweh has chosen Jerusalem; he has wanted to make that city his home;
BOEIPA loh Zion te a coelh tih amah tolrhum la a sahnaih thil.
14 he said, “This is the city where I will live forever [DOU]; this is the place where I wanted to stay.
Ka duemnah he ka sahnaih coeng dongah a yoeyah la pahoi ka ngol thil ni.
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.
A sakah te ka uem ka uem pah vetih a khuikah khodaeng rhoek te buh ka cung sak ni.
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.
Te vaengah a khosoih rhoek te khangnah ka bai sak vetih a hlangcim rhoek loh tamhoe la tamhoe uh ni.
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].
David ham ki pahoi ka cawn sak vetih ka koelh ham hmaithoi ka tok pah ni.
18 I will [defeat his] enemies and cause them to be very ashamed/disgraced; but the crown that my king wears will [always] shine.”
A thunkha rhoek te yahpohnah ka bai sak vetih anih te a rhuisam neh ka khooi sak ni.
