Psalms 132
1 Yahweh, do not forget [King] David and all the hardships/troubles he endured!
Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Oe BAWIPA, Devit hai thoseh, a khang e rektapnae hai thoseh,
2 He made a solemn promise to you, the mighty God whom [our ancestor] Jacob [worshiped].
BAWIPA koe bangtelane thoe a kâbo tie hai thoseh, Jakop miphun e athakaawme Bawipa koe bangtelamaw lawk a kam tie hai thoseh, pouk haw.
3 He said, “I will not go home, I will not [rest] on my bed,
Ahni ni BAWIPA onae, Jakop miphun e Athakasaipounge a onae hmuen ka hmu hoehroukrak,
4 I will not sleep at all
kama im ka ban mahoeh, ka ikhun dawk ka luen mahoeh,
5 until I build a place for Yahweh, a home for the mighty God whom Jacob [worshiped].”
ka ip mahoeh, ka mit ka pakhap mahoeh telah lawk a kam.
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].
Khenhaw! Ephrath vah, ka thai a teh, ratu thung vah ka hmu awh.
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].”
Ama onae koe cet awh sei. Ama khok toungnae hmalah tabawk awh sei.
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.
Oe BAWIPA nama e thaonae thingkong hoi cungtalah, nama e roumnae koe luen haw.
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.
Nange vaihmanaw teh lannae hah khohnat awh naseh. Nange tami kathoungnaw ni hai lunghawicalah la sak awh naseh.
10 You chose David to serve you [as king of Israel]; do not reject/abandon him!
Na san Devit minhmai khet lahoi satui na awi e hah pahnawt hanh loe.
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.
BAWIPA ni Devit koe thoe a bo teh bout raphoe hoeh hane lawk teh: na catoun hah na bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung sak 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 capanaw ni kaie lawkkam hoi kaie lawkpanuesaknae hah tarawi awh pawiteh, ahnimae capanaw hai nange bawitungkhung dawk pou a tahung awh han tie hah doeh.
13 Yahweh has chosen Jerusalem; he has wanted to make that city his home;
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Zion hah a rawi teh, hawvah o nahane hmuen lah ta hane a ngai dawkvah,
14 he said, “This is the city where I will live forever [DOU]; this is the place where I wanted to stay.
hote hmuen teh a yungyoe kaie roumnae hmuen lah ao. Hote hmuen hah ka ngai dawkvah, hawvah ka o 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.
Hote hmuen koe rawca yawhawi ka poe han. Hote hmuen koe mathoenaw hai rawca ka boum sak 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.
Hote hmuen koe e vaihmanaw heh rungngangnae hoi ka ramuk vaiteh, tami kathoungnaw ni lunghawi laihoi la a sak awh han.
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].
Hawvah, Devit e ki hah ka cawn sak han. Satui ka awi e tami hanelah, hmaiim sut ka hruek pouh.
18 I will [defeat his] enemies and cause them to be very ashamed/disgraced; but the crown that my king wears will [always] shine.”
Kai ni ahnie tarannaw hah kayayeirai hoi ka ramuk pouh han. Ahni koe teh, amae lentoenae lukhung kamhlawng sak han telah a ti.
