Psalms 81
1 Sing [songs] to praise God, who enables us to be strong [when we fight our enemies]; shout joyfully to God, whom we (descendants of Jacob/Israeli people) [worship]!
Ei thahatsah u Elohim Pathen thangvahnan la sauvin, Jacob Pathen Elohim vahchoinan la sauvin.
2 Start [playing] the music, and beat the tambourines, and play nice music on the harps and (lyres/other stringed instruments).
Sauvin! tumging tothon avahchoila sauvin voh gingthei vouvin, semjang kisai ginleh selangdah gin to thouvin,
3 Blow the trumpets [during the festival to celebrate] each new moon and each time the moon is full and during our [other] festivals.
Lhathah janle sumkon mut-uvin lang, lhalih janle lhalih nikhoa golvah bolteng sumkon mut uvin.
4 [Do that] because that is a law for [us] Israeli [people]; God commanded it for us descendants of Jacob.
Ajeh chu hichehi Israel dinga chondan thupeh ahin Jacob Elohim Pathen thugahsa ahi.
5 He commanded us Israeli [people to obey it] when he punished [the people of] Egypt. I heard someone [MTY] whose voice I did not recognize, saying,
Egypt gam a kon a ahungdoh uchun Aman Joseph komma hettohsah khat anaphutdoh tai. Keiman kahetchetlou thukhat kajan,
6 “[After the rulers of Egypt forced you Israelis to work as slaves], I took those [heavy] burdens off your backs, and I enabled you to lay down those [heavy] baskets [of bricks that you were carrying].
Keiman apohgih kangai jangin akhut a jong thilgih kangai jangin akhut a jong thilgih hahsa kathamsah tapoi.
7 When you were [greatly] distressed, you called [out to me], and I rescued you; I answered you out of a thundercloud. [Later] I tested [whether you would trust me to give you] water [when you were in the desert] at Meribah.
Nagimna a kon in neihin kouvin keiman kahuhdohtai. Meivom lhangkhat kiheh chetchut laha kahin houjin, Meribah a twi umloupet in natahsah kapatepjin ahi.
8 [You who are] my people, listen while I warn you! I wish that you Israeli [people] would pay attention to what I [say to you]!
Ngai uvin O kamite, nangho gihna nasatah kapeh pet-hin, Vo Israel kaseihi nangai poupou uleh,
9 You must not have any idols of other gods among you; you must never bow to worship any of them!
Nanghon imatihchan ajong gamchom mit pathen koipouvin nate, pathen lhem masanga kun pouvin nate.
10 I am Yahweh, your God; It was [not any of those other gods] who brought you out of Egypt, I am the one who did it! [So] ask me what you want me to do for you [MTY], and I will do it.
Ajeh chu Egypt-a kon a nahin puidoh uva Yahweh Pakai na Pathen'u Elohim keima kahi. Nakam hakatnin ka-in keiman thilpha tamtah adimsetna kahin sunlut pehding ahi.
11 But my people would not listen to me [SYN]; they would not obey me.
Ahinla kamiten angainom pouvin, Israel'in Keima eingaicha pouve.
12 So even though they were very stubborn, I allowed them to do whatever they wanted to do.
Hijeh chun Keiman alouchallu dungjuijin amaho deilam lam a chondin kalha kangtai.
13 I wish that my people would listen to me, that the Israeli [people] would behave as I want them to do.
O kamiten kaseihi ngaipou pouleu, O Kamite Israelte hin eijuiju henlang kalampia hin chenom poupouleu!
14 [If they did that], I would quickly defeat their enemies; I would strike/punish [all of] them [DOU].
Ichan geija gang in agalmiteu kajopeh tadiuvem! Ichan geija gangtah'in akidoupiteu chunga kakhut kalha tadem!
15 [Then all] those who hate me would (cringe before/bow down to) me, and [then I] would punish them [MTY] forever.
Koi hile Yahweh Pakai nahsah loute chu a-ang sunga kisuchipdiu atonsotna mahthahdiu ahi.
16 [But] I would give you [Israelis] very good wheat/grain, and I would fill your stomachs with wild honey.”
Ahinla keiman nehthei aphapen a kavahding nahin, keiman songpia kon a kimu khoijua kavahdiu nahi.
