Psalms 138
1 Yahweh, I thank you with all my inner being. I sing to praise you in front of [the idols of false] gods [to ridicule/belittle them].
Aw Bawipa, kak kawlung boeih ing nang ce nim kyihcah vang; “khawsakhqi” haiawh nang kyihcahnaak laa sa vang nyng.
2 I bow down while I look towards your sacred temple, and I thank you [MTY] because you faithfully love [us] and faithfully do all that you have promised. You have shown that both you [MTY] and what you have promised to do are greater than anything else.
Nang a bawkim ciim benna koep nyng seitaw, na lungnaak ingkaw na ypawmnaak awh nang ming ce kyihcah vang, kawtih ing nang ming ing na lungnaak ce ik-oeih boeih ak khan awh zoeksang hawh hyk ti.
3 On the day when I called out to you, you answered me; you enabled me to be strong and brave.
Kai ing ka nik khy awh, nang ing nim hlat hyk ti; ka qaal ni leek sak nawh kak kaw awm sak hyk ti.
4 Yahweh, [some day] all the kings of this earth will praise you, because they will have heard what you have said.
Aw Bawipa, khawmdek awhkaw sangpahrangkhqi boeih ing, nam kha awhkaw awi a ming zaak awh nang ce nim kyih u seh.
5 They will sing about what you have done; they will sing and say that you are very great.
Bawipa a boeimangnaak taw a bau soeih a dawngawh, a lamkhqi ce laa na sa u seh.
6 Yahweh, you are supreme, but you take care of people [who are considered to be] unimportant. And you know what proud people [are doing], even though they are far away [from you and think that you do not see them].
Bawipa taw hun sang na awm hlai hy, kaw ak dungkhqi ce toek hy, cehlai ak oek qu ak thlang taw ak hla na awm taak hy.
7 When I am in the midst of [many] troubles/difficulties, you save/rescue me. With your hand/power [MTY] you rescue me from my enemies who are angry at me.
Kyinaak anglak li awh cet nyng awm, nang ing ka hqingnaak khoem law hyk ti; ak kaw ak so ka qaal benna kut zyng law nawh, nak tang ben kut ing ni hul hyk ti.
8 Yahweh, you will do for me everything that you promised; you faithfully love [us] forever. Finish what you started to do [for us, your Israeli people.]
Bawipa ing kai aham cainaak a taak ce soep law sak kaw; Aw Bawipa; na lungnaak taw kumqui dy cak hy – na kut sai ce koeh qoeng hyt.
