Psalms 66
1 [Tell] everyone on the earth that they should sing joyfully to praise God!
Dek lunglai boeih aw, zeel doena Khawsa venawh khy lah uh!
2 They should sing songs that say that God [MTY] is very great, and they should tell everyone that he is very glorious!
Ang ming boeimangnaak laa ce sa unawh taw; boeimang soeih na kyihcah lah uh!
3 They should say to God, “The things that you do are awesome! You are very powerful, with the result that your enemies (cringe/bow down) in front of you.”
Khawsa venawh, “Na ik-oeih saikhqi ve myi kqih tamzim hawh ni! Nak tha awmnaak ve a bau aih dawngawh na qaalkhqi awm na haiawh tum qu hqoeng hy.
4 Everyone on the earth [should] worship God and sing to praise him and honor him [MTY].
Dek lunglai boeih na haiawh koep doena; na kyihcahnaak laa sa uhy, namah ang ming kyihcahnaak laa sa uhy.
5 Come and think about what God has done! Think about the awesome things that he has done.
Khawsa a ik-oeih sai ve law nawhtaw toek lah uh, thlanghqing anglakawh a ik-oeih sai ve myikqih tamzin hawh ni!
6 He caused the [Red] Sea to become dry land, [with the result that our] ancestors were able to walk right through it. There we rejoiced because of what he [had done].
Tuicunli ce khawk kqawng na coeng sak nawh, a khaw ing tui awh cet poe uhy – law lah uh amah awh zeel lah u sih.
7 By his great power he rules forever, and he keeps watching all the nations [to see what things they do], [so] those nations that want to rebel [against him] should not be proud.
Kumqui dy ak thaawmnaak ing uk nawh, amik ing pilnam thlang boeih khoem hy – ak oelh khqi taw koeh tho qoe voel u sih.
8 You people [of all nations], praise our God! Praise him loudly in order that people will hear you as you praise him.
Aw thlangkhqi aw, ningnih a Khawsa ve kyihcah lah uh, a kyihcahnaak awi ve zaak na awm lah seh;
9 He has kept us alive, and he has not allowed us to (stumble/be defeated).
Ningmih a hqingnaak ve khoem nawh ni khawkhqi awm am bah sak hy.
10 God, you have tested us; you have allowed us to experience great difficulties [to make our lives become pure] as [people] put precious metals in a hot fire [to burn out what is impure] [MET].
Aw Khawsa, kaimih ve ni nym ni nai khqi hawh tiksaw; tangkamyihna atui na ni hloei hawh hyk ti.
11 [It is as if] you allowed us to fall into traps [MET], and you [forced us to endure difficult things which were like] putting heavy loads on our backs [MET].
Thawngim khuina nik thla nawh phyihqih ce kamim ting awh ni phyih sak khqi hawh hyk ti.
12 You allowed [our] enemies to trample on us; we [experienced difficulties/troubles that were like] [MET] walking through fires and floods, but now you have brought us into a place where we have plenty.
Ka lu awh thlang ngawih law sak nawh; mai ingkaw tui awh ni ceh sak hyk ti, Cehlai khawbuh qam sainaak hun na ni ceh pyi hyk ti.
13 [Yahweh], I will bring to your temple offerings that are to be completely burned [on the altar]; I will offer to you what I promised.
Hyih phum nawnnaak ing na bawkim na law nyng saw, na venawh awi ka kam ce soep sak kawng nyng.
14 When I was experiencing [much] trouble, I said that I would bring offerings to you [if you rescued me]; [and you did rescue me, so] I will bring to you what I promised.
Kyinaak ka huh awh ka hui ing awi a kam amyihna kam kha ing awikam caksak kaw.
15 I will bring sheep to be burned on the altar, and I will [also] sacrifice bulls and goats, and when they are burning, [you will be pleased when] the smoke [rises up] ([to you/to the sky]).
Ak plan ak tha tuu ing bulnaak lucik nawn law kawng nyng saw; vaitawm cai ingkaw mem cai ce nawn kawng nyng.
16 All you [people] who revere God, come and listen, and I will tell you what he has done for me.
Nangmih Khawsa ak kqihkhqi boeih aw, law unawh taw ngai lah uh; kai aham ik-oeih a sai law ce kqawn law lah vang nyng.
17 I called out to him to help me, and I praised him while I was speaking to him [MTY].
Kam kha ing anih a venawh khy nyng saw: kam lai awh amah kyihcahnaak ce awm hy.
18 If I had ignored the sins that I had committed, the Lord would not have paid any attention to me.
Kak kawlung khuiawh thlawlhnaak ka taak khak mantaw, Bawipa ing kak awi am ngai tikaw;
19 But because [I confessed my sins], God has listened to me and he paid attention to my prayers.
Cehlai, Khawsa ing kak awi ngai law nawh kak cykcahnaak awi ce za hy.
20 I praise God because he has not ignored my prayers or stopped faithfully loving me.
Kak cykcahnaak amak zyng sak nawh kai aham a lungnaak amak hai, khawsa venawh thangleeknaak awm seh nyng!
