< Psalms 32 >
1 Those whom God has forgiven for rebelling against him, whose stains [MET] of sin have been wiped away, are truly blessed [by God]!
Kathutkung: Devit Kâtapoenae ngaithoum lah kaawm e hoi a yonnae ramuk pouh lah kaawm e teh a yawkahawi e doeh.
2 Those whose record of their sins Yahweh has erased, those who no longer do deceitful things, are [truly] blessed [by God]!
BAWIPA ni yonnae ka tawn hoeh e lah a pouk e hoi, a muitha dawk dumyennae kaawm hoeh e teh, tami a yawkahawi e doeh.
3 When I did not confess my sins, (my body/I) was very weak and sick, and I groaned (all day long/continually).
Yon pâpho laipalah ka o teh, kanîruirui ka cingou navah, ka hrunaw teh koung a hmawn toe.
4 Day and night, [Yahweh], you [SYN] punished me severely. My strength drained away like [water that] ([evaporates/dries up]) on a hot summer [day].
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kanîruirui nange kut ni ka van vah a ri teh, ka thaonae teh kawmpoi kâan e patetlah rem a phui.
5 [Then/Finally] I admitted/confessed my sins to you; I stopped trying to hide them. (Think about that!) I said [to myself], “I will confess to Yahweh the wrong things that I have done.” And [when I confessed them], you forgave me, so now I (am no longer guilty/will no longer be punished) for my sins.
Ka yonnae hah nang koe ka pâpho. Ka payonnae hai ka ramuk hoeh. BAWIPA koe ka yonnae ka pâpho han ka ti. Hahoi, nang ni, ka yonnae hah na ngaithoum.
6 Therefore, the people who are godly should pray to you [when they] (realize that they have sinned/have difficulties). If they pray to you, [difficulties] [MET] will not overwhelm them [like] a great flood.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, hmu thai lah na o navah, Cathutlae tami pueng ni, nang koe ratoum naseh. Tûili ka tho nakunghai, ahnimouh teh phat mahoeh.
7 You are [like] a place where I can hide [from my enemies] [MET], you protect me from troubles, and you (enable me/[put people around me who will enable me]) to shout, praising you for saving me [from my enemies].
Nang teh kai hanlah, kâhronae hmuen doeh. Runae thung hoi na hlout sak han. Hloutnae la hoi na kalup han. (Selah)
8 [Yahweh says], “I will teach you about how you should conduct your life. I will instruct you and watch over you.
Na cei nahane lamthung na patue han. Na cangkhai vaiteh, ka mit hoi khet laihoi na hrawi han.
9 Do not be stupid like horses and mules that do not have understanding; they need (bits/pieces of metal put in their mouths) and (bridles/ropes fastened to their head) so they will go in the direction you want them to go.”
Thaipanueknae ka tawn hoeh e marang hoi la patetlah awm hanh. Hotnaw teh nang koe a hnai awh hoeh dawkvah, pahnimoum hoi sawn lah ao han.
10 Wicked people will have many [troubles that will make them] sad, but those who trust in Yahweh will experience him faithfully loving them all the time.
Tamikathoutnaw teh lungreknae moi a khang awh. Hatei, BAWIPA kâuep e naw teh a pahrennae ni a kalup han.
11 [So, all] you righteous people, rejoice about what Yahweh [has done for you]; you whose (inner beings/lives) are pure, be glad and shout joyfully!
Tami kalannaw, BAWIPA dawk lunghawi awh nateh, lannae dawk konawm awh. Lungthin kalan e tami pueng, lunghawi awh nateh hram awh haw.
