Psalms 60
1 [I prayed], “God, you have rejected us [Israelis]! Because you have been angry [with us], you have [enabled our enemies] to break through our ranks. [Please] enable us to be strong again!
Aw Khawssa, kaimih ve ni qoek khqi hawh tiksaw, kaimih ak khan awh nak kaw so hawh hy; nak kaw so hawh nawh - nim thawh tlaih lah!
2 [When we were defeated, it was as though] [MET] there was a big earthquake in our land that caused the ground to split open. So now, [just as only you can] cause the cracks in the land to disappear, [help our army to be strong again], because [it is as though] our country is (falling apart/being destroyed).
Nang ing qam ce thloek tiksaw can sak thulh hawh hyk ti; ak kqek khqi ve cawng tlaih lah, tlai nyk nyk hy.
3 You have caused [us], your people, to suffer very much; [it is as though] you forced us to drink [strong] wine that caused us to stagger around [after we became drunk].
Nak thlangkhqi ce kawboet kyinaak ni huh sak khqi tiksaw; misur tui ni awk sak khqi nawh kami ceh am thym voel hy.
4 But you have raised a battle flag for those who revere you in order that they can gather around it and not [be killed by the enemies’] arrows.
Cehlai, nang anik kqihkhqi aham taw, hizan ce hak zoek tiksaw li ce dan khoep hy.
5 Answer our [prayers] and enable us by your power [MTY] to defeat [our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, will be saved.”
Nak tang kut ing ni hul khqi nawhtaw ni thaawng khqi lah, na lungnaak thlangkhqi loet na u seh.
6 [Then] God [answered my prayer and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will divide up [everything in] Shechem [city], and I will distribute it among my people [the land in] Succoth Valley.
Khawsa ing a hun ciim awhkawng: “Noengnaak ing Shechem ce cun kawng nyng saw Succoth tuikaw ce tah vang.
7 The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my helmet [MET]; and [the tribe of] Judah is [like] the (scepter/stick [that I hold which shows that I am the ruler]) [MET];
Gilead ve kai a koe ni, Monasseh awm kai a koe ni; Ephraim ve ka thi lumyk na awm nawh, Judah ve ka sawnghqawl na awm hy.
8 but the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
Moab ve kang silh qunaak beihthuk na awm nawh, Edom ak khan awh ka khawmyk khawng nyng saw; Philistia qam khan awh noengnaak ing khy nyng,” tihy.
9 [Because I want to defeat the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.)” [RHQ]
U ing nu khawk bau cak na anik ceh pyi kaw? U ing nu Edom na ani sawi kaw?
10 So, God, we [desire/hope that] [RHQ] you have not truly abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our armies march out [to fight our enemies].
Aw Khawsa, nang ing ni qoek khqi nawh ka qaalkapkhqi mi am cet haih voel hyk ti ka ti my?
11 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Qalkap tuknaak thai aham bawngnaak ni pe lah, kawtih thlanghqing ak bawngnaak taw a phi am awm hy.
12 But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
Khawsa ing ni noengnaak ce ka mi huh hly, anih ing ni qaalkhqi ce a khaw ing a leh hly.
