Psalms 79
1 God, other people-groups have invaded your land. They have (desecrated your temple/caused your temple to be unfit for worship), and they have destroyed all the buildings in Jerusalem.
Asaph kah Tingtoenglung Pathen aw, namtom rhoek loh na rho a kun uh thil tih, na bawkim cim te a poeih uh. Jerusalem te lairhok bangla a khueh uh.
2 [Instead of burying] the corpses of your people [whom they killed], they allowed vultures and wild animals to eat the flesh of those corpses,
Na sal rhoek kah a rhok te vaan kah vaa taengah, na hlangcim rhoek kah a saa te diklai mulhing taengah cakok la a paek uh.
3 When they killed your people, your people’s blood flowed like water through [the streets of] Jerusalem, and there was [almost] no one [HYP] left to bury their corpses.
Amih thii te Jerusalem kaepvai ah tui bangla a hawk uh tih aka up om pawh.
4 The people-groups that live in countries that surround our land insult us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.
Kaimih he imben rhoek kah kokhahnah, ka taengvai kah tamdaengnah neh soehsalnah la ka om uh.
5 Yahweh, how long [will this continue]? Will you be angry with us forever? Will your being angry [destroy us like] a burning fire [destroys things]?
BOEIPA aw me hil nim na thin a toek ve? Na thatlainah te hmai bangla rhong yoeyah aya?
6 [Instead of being angry with us], be angry with the people-groups that do not know/worship you! Be angry with kingdoms whose people do not pray to you,
Nang aka ming pawh namtom rhoek so neh na ming aka khue mueh ram soah na kosi hawk thil lah.
7 because they have killed Israeli people and they have ruined your country.
Jakob te a yoop uh tih a tolkhoeng te a pong sakuh.
8 Do not punish us because of the sins that our ancestors committed! Be merciful to us now/quickly, because we are very discouraged.
Lamhm a kathaesainah a rho kaimih taengah thoelh boel lamtah dikdik ka tlayae uh dongah na haidamnah kaimih koe n'doe uh saeh.
9 God, you have saved/rescued [us many times], [so] help us [now]; rescue us and forgive us for having sinned in order that other people will honor you [MTY].
Kaimih kah daemnah Pathen aw na thangpomnah ming ham kaimih m'bom dae. Na ming kongah kaimih n'huul lamtah kaimih kah tholhnah te han dawth dae.
10 It is not right that [RHQ] other people-groups say [about us], “If their God [is very powerful], (surely he should help them/why does he not [help them])?” Allow us to see you punishing the people of other nations in return for their shedding our blood; they have killed many of us, your people.
Balae tih namtom rhoek loh, A Pathen khaw melae?,” a ti uh eh. Na sal rhoek kah thii aka hawk namtom taengah tawnlohnah loh kaimih mikhmuh ah aka thoeng te namtom rhoek loh ming uh saeh.
11 Listen to your people groaning while they are in prison, and by your great power free those whom our enemies say that they will certainly execute.
Thongtl a kah a kiinah loh namah taengla ha pawk saeh. Dueknah cadil rhoek te na boeilennah bantha neh sueng sak.
12 In return for their having [often] insulted you, punish them seven times as much!
Te vaengah kaimih kah imben rhoek te voeirhih la thuung lah. A kodang ah amih kah kokhahnah neh Boeipa namah ni m'veet uh coeng te.
13 After you do that, we, whom you [take care of like a shepherd takes care of] his sheep, will continue praising you; we will continue to praise you forever [HYP].
Te dongah na pilnam kaimih neh na rhamtlim kah boiva long tah, namah te kumhal duela kan uem uh ni. Cadilcahma neh cadilcahma hil nang koehnah te ka tae uh ni.
