Psalms 68
1 God, arise and scatter your enemies, and cause those who hate you to run away from you.
O Elohim Pathen hung kipat inlang namelmate hi thethang jeng in, Elohim Pathen doumah bolte jouse akihuhdohna diuvin jam uhen.
2 Like [wind] blows smoke away, chase your enemies away. Like wax melts when it is near a fire, cause wicked people to (disappear/be destroyed).
Amaho khu meikhu bang in mut mang in, meisalah a khoilu ajollhah bang in jollhahsah in, Elohim Pathen ansung a kon in migiloute mangthah jeng uhen.
3 But righteous people should be joyful; they should rejoice when they are in God’s presence; they should be happy, and be very joyful.
Hinla miphaho chu kipah u hen. Amaho chu Elohim Pathen angsung'ah kipah u hen. Kipa thanopnan dimset u hen.
4 Sing to God; sing to praise him; sing a song (OR, make a road) for him who rides on the clouds; his name is Yahweh; be glad when you are in his presence.
Elohim Pathen le amin thang vah la saovin! Meibanglom puile pa thangvahla chohthet in sauvin. Amin chu Yahweh Pakai kiti ahi–a angsung a kipah un.
5 God, who lives in his sacred temple, is [like] [MET] a father to [those who are] orphans, and he is the one who protects widows.
Pa neilou te dia Pa nahin, meithaiho hoidam jing nahi-hiche hi Elohim Pathen ahin aumna chu muntheng ahi.
6 For those who have no one to live with, he provides families [to live with]. He frees prisoners and enables them to be successful, but those who rebel [against him] will be forced to live in a very hot and dry land.
Elohim Pathen in changkhatpu hinkho chu insungmi lhingtah in akoi in; Songkul a tangho chamlhat na apen akipa sah tai. Ahinlah thuanunglou ho chu nisan akahgepna neldigama achensah e.
7 God, you led your people out [of Egypt], and then you marched with them through the desert.
O Yahweh Pakai na mite Egypt gama kon a na hin puidoh a chun, gamgo lah'a na hin puigalkai chun,
8 After you did that, because when you, the God [worshiped by us] Israeli people, appeared to us at Sinai [Mountain], the earth shook, and rain poured down from the sky.
Israel Pathen Elohim, Sinai Pathen Elohim nangma masang'ah leiset akithing in vanhon go ahin juhlhahsah in ahi.
9 You caused plenty of rain to fall [on your land], [and so] you enabled good crops to grow again on the land that you gave [to us Israelis].
O Elohim Pathen nang man leigo chapnousah din go nengchet in neihin peuvin ahi.
10 Your people built homes there; and because you were good to them, you provided [food] for those who were poor.
Akhon nan hichea chun na mite na chensah in, neh le chah nengchetnin na pen, na mite ngaichat jouse jong na pe tai.
11 The Lord gave a message, and many women took that message to other places.
Yahweh Pakai in thu chengkhat agahseileh mitamtah in hiche kipana thu chu apoleuvin ahi.
12 [They proclaimed], “Many kings and their armies are running away [from our army]!” [When our army brought back to their homes] the things that they captured, the women who were at home divided up those things [among themselves and among their families].
Melmate lengho le asepaite ajamgam tauvin Israel numeiten athilkeo u achomgam peh taove.
13 Even those women who were in the pens [taking care of] the sheep [received some of those things]; they got statues of doves whose wings were covered with silver and whose feathers were covered with pure yellow gold.
Kelngoi hong a chengho jeng in jong nei le gou tamtah-alhaving teni dangka le amul sana a kisem vapal akimu uvin.
14 When Almighty [God] scattered the [enemy] kings [and their armies], [the number of weapons that they abandoned there] seemed like there had been a snowstorm on Zalmon (OR, a black) [Mountain].
Hatchungnung chun Zalmon molchung'a buhbang kithejal bang'in melma lengho chu athejal gamtan ahi.
15 There is a very high mountain in the Bashan [region], a mountain which has many peaks.
Bashan a molho hi athupi thei lheh jeng uve, mol monghem tamtah'in vanthamjol a kilhungdoh jenge.
16 But the [people who live near] that mountain should not [RHQ] envy those who live near [Zion], the mountain on which God chose to live! Yahweh will live there forever!
O molsang gumtahho ibolba thangthip tah a navet uham, Zion molsang Elohim Pathen in alhen na mun, tonsot a achen nading chu?
17 [After we defeated all our enemies], [it was as though] the Lord, surrounded by many thousands of strong chariots, descended from Sinai [Mountain] and came into the sacred temple [in Jerusalem].
Sakol-kangtalai simjoulou hon akolkhum Sinai mol a kon a hung'a amuntheng a lut ding ahi.
18 He ascended the sacred mountain [where his temple is], and took with him many people who had been captured [in battles]; and received gifts from the enemies [whom he had defeated]. He received gifts even from those who had rebelled against him, and Yahweh our God will live there [in his sacred temple] forever.
Nangma achung sang a na kaltou tengleh galhing a kiman tamtah na puitou ding, mipiho'a kon'a kipaman tamtah na san ding, nangma na douho a kon'a jong na san ding ahi. Hiche'a chu Yahweh Pakai eiho lah a cheng ding ahi.
19 Praise the Lord, who [helps us] carry our heavy loads every day; he is the one who saves/rescues us.
Yahweh Pakai chu thangvah in umhen; eihuh hingpau Elohim Pathen chu thangvah in umhen! Niseh a aman abanjang a eikai u ahi.
20 Our God is the God who saves us; He is Yahweh, our Lord, the one who (allows us to escape/prevents us) from being killed [in battles].
Eiho Pathen hi mihuhhing Elohim Pathen ahi. Yahweh Pakai lengchungnung hin thina a kon a eihuhdoh u ahi.
21 But God will smash the heads of his enemies, the skulls of those who continue to behave sinfully.
Elohim Pathen in amelmate luchangho asuhchip ding ahi, thilse jeng bolna a kipeho chu alugu u asuhchip ding ahi.
22 The Lord said, “I will bring back the [corpses of those who were killed in] Bashan, and I will bring back those who sank deep in the ocean [and drowned].
Yahweh Pakai in asei e, “Bashan a kon'a ka melmate ka hinpui lhah ding ahi; twikhanglen lailung a kon'a ka hin puidoh ding ahi.
23 I will do that in order that you may wash your feet in their blood, and your dogs can [also] lap up some of your enemies’ blood.”
Ka mite, nanghon athisan uva chu na keng u na kisoptheng diu, chuleh na uichahou jengin jong chan aneidiu ahi.”
24 God, many people see you march triumphantly into your sacred temple, [celebrating that you have defeated your enemies]. You [march like] a king does, and a large crowd walks with you.
O Elohim Pathen gal nahin jaova na hung kijot u chu muthei in ahung kilangdoh tai, Elohim ka Pathen le ka lengpa muntheng a na kijotlut u chu.
25 The singers are in front, and the people who play stringed instruments are at the rear, and young women who are beating their tambourines are between them.
La saho amasang a aum un, tumging saiho a nung a aum ui; alai lunga chun nungah hon vohging theiho avouve.
26 [They are all singing], “You Israeli people, praise God when you gather together; praise Yahweh, all you who are descendants of Jacob!”
Israel mipite Elohim Pathen thangvah un; Israel hinkho hungkondoh naho Yahweh Pakai chu thangvah un.
27 First come [the people of the tribe of] Benjamin, the smallest [tribe], and following them come the leaders of [the tribe of] Judah and their group, and following them come the leaders of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
Ven phung neocha Benjamin in ahin lamkai e. aban'ah Judah a kon a vaihomho, chule Zebulun le Naphtali a kon in vaihom tamtah ahung uve.
28 God, show people that you are very powerful; show people the power with which you have helped us previously.
O Elohim Pathen, na ban thahat chu jedoh in. Achesa nikho ho bang chun na ban thahat chu nahat na hung kilangdoh hen.
29 Show that power from your temple in Jerusalem, where kings bring gifts to you.
Jerusalem a na houintheng ah leiset lenghon na hunglutna u thilho ahinchoijuve.
30 Rebuke [your enemies, such as those in Egypt who are like] wild hippopotamuses/animals that live in the reeds; and [powerful nations that are like] bulls that are among their calves [MET]; rebuke/trample them until they bow down and give you gifts of silver. Scatter the people who enjoy making wars.
Na melma namtin vaipiho, pang lah'a kisel gamsaho, ahatmo bongnouho lah a bongchalho hi phohsal in. Kisunem tah a ahunglutnau thil in sumlhonho hinchoisah in. Galbol'a thanom namtin vaipiho thethang in.
31 Then people will bring gifts of bronze (OR, of cloth) to you from Egypt; the people in Ethiopia will lift up their hands [to praise you].
Egypt a kon'in kipa thilpeh ding'in thil mantamho hinchoi u hen, Ethiopia mite Elohim Pathen a akipehlutna uvin bohkhup uhen!
32 [You people who are citizens of] kingdoms/countries all over the world, sing to God! Sing praises to the Lord!
Leiset gam lengho'n Yahweh Pakai, Elohim Pathen kom'ah vahchoila sauhen.
33 Sing to the God, the one who rides across the sky, the sky that [he created] long ago. Listen as he shouts with a very powerful voice.
Vanlaijol'a kon'a ogin hat tah hung kithongdoh a, masanglai vanho lah a ki tollepa vahchoila'n la sauvin.
34 Proclaim that God is very powerful; he is the king that rules over Israel, and in the skies [he also shows that] he is powerful.
Elohim Pathen thuneina hi mijouse hetsah un, aloupina chun Israelte ahinsalvah in athahatna hi vanho chung'ah akilang jing'e.
35 God is awesome as he comes out of his sacred temple; he is the God whom [we] Israeli people [worship]. He makes [DOU] his people very powerful. Praise God!
Elohim Pathen hi amuntheng'ah gimneitah in aumjing'e. Israel Pathen Elohim'in amite chu thuneina le thahatna ape'n ahi. Elohim Pathen chu thangvah in umhen!
