Psalms 9
1 Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being. I will tell [others] about all the wonderful things that you have done.
Aw Bawipa, kak kawlung boeih ing nang nim kyih vang; kawpoek kyi ik-oeih na sai boeih ce khypyi vang nyng.
2 I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
Namah awh ce kaw zeel nawh, awm kawng. Aw, sawsang soeih, nang ming kyihcahnaak laa sa vang.
3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
Ka qaalkhqi taw na haiawh bah unawh; seet doena ami huna hlat tlaih uhy.
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
Kak cangnaak awhtaw nang ing ning dyih pyi nawh; na ngawihdoelh awh ngawi nawh, ak dyng cana awi deng hyk ti.
5 You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
Pilnam thlangkhqi ce toel nawh, thlak chekhqi ce milh sak khqi hyk ti; cekkhqi ang ming ce kumqui dyna khawng pe hyk ti.
6 Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
Amak dyt thai seetnaak ing qaalkhqi ce zawl nawh, cekkhqi a khawk bau ce hqe pe pheng hawh hyk ti; ami sim loetnaak awm hqe pek khqi boeih hawh hyk ti.
7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
Bawipa taw kumqui dyna boei na awm hy; awidengnaak aham a boei ngawihdoelh ce caksak hawh hy.
8 and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].
Khawmdek ve ak dyng cana awi deng kawmsaw; thlangkhqi ce ak thym cana uk kaw.
9 Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.
Bawipa taw thekha na ak awmkhqi ang dymnaak na awm nawh, kyinaak a awm tym awh ce vawng cak na awm hy.
10 Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
Nang ming ak simkhqi ing nang ce ni ypna uhy. Bawipa, nang ingtaw nang anik suikhqi ce am qoeng hyt hyk ti.
11 Yahweh rules from Zion [Hill]; praise him while you sing to him. Tell [the people of all] the nations the [marvelous] things that he has done.
Zion awh boei na ak ngawi Bawipa venawh kyihnaak laa sa unawh, a ik-oeih sai ce pilnam thlangkhqi venawh khypyi lah uh.
12 He does not forget [to punish] those who have murdered others; and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.
Ikawtih, thlang thi a lawng sak ce sim loet nawh; khawdeng khuikha khqi ing kqangnaak awi ce ang zaak peek kaana am awm hy.
13 Yahweh, be merciful to me! Look at the ways that my enemies have injured me. Do not allow me to die [because of these injuries].
Aw Bawipa, ka qaalkhqi ing ani thekhanaak khqi ve toek lah! Nim qeen nawh thihnaak chawmkeng khui awhkawng ni hqui lah.
14 I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem [MTY] and to rejoice because you rescued me.
Cawhtaw na kyihcahnaak laa ce Zion canu ak chawmkeng awh khypyi thai kawng nyng saw, na hulnaak awh ce zeelnaak awm kaw.
15 [It is as though] the [wicked people of many] nations have dug a pit for me to fall into [MET], but they have fallen into that same pit. [It is as if] they spread out a net to catch me [MET], but their feet have been caught in that same net.
Pilnam thlangkhqi ing amik cawh lawk-kqawng khuiawh tla boeih uhy; a mimah ing ami zan hyt lawk awh aawk boeih uhy.
16 Because of what you have done, people know that you decide matters [fairly/justly], but [you allow] wicked people to be trapped by the same evil things that they themselves do.
Am dyngnaak awh ce Bawipa taw sim lah uh; cehlai thlak chekhqi taw a mimah a kut sai awh ce aawk nawn uhy.
17 Wicked people will all [die and] be buried in their graves, and [their spirits] will go to be with all those who have (forgotten about/rejected) you. (Sheol h7585)
Khawsa ak hilh pilnam thlangkhqi ingkaw thlak chekhqi ingtaw phyi na ce cet kawm uh. (Sheol h7585)
18 But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
Ak voethlauh thlangkhqi ce am hilh kawmsaw, khawdeng thlangkhqi ang ngaih-unaak awm am reng tikaw.
19 Yahweh, arise and judge the [wicked] people of the nations; do not allow them to think that [because they are strong] they will never be punished.
Aw Bawipa, tho lah, thlanghqing ing koeh ni noeng seh; na haiawh pilnam thlang awideng na awm u seh.
20 Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
Aw Bawipa, cekkhqi ce kqihnaak ing ly a lap sak khqi lah; pilnam boeih ve thlanghqing mai ni ti sim sak lah.
