Psalms 94
1 Yahweh, you are able to get revenge [on your enemies]. [So] show them that you are going to punish them!
Aw Bawipa, lu ak lokung Khawsa, lu ak lokung Aw Khawsa, vang pheng lah.
2 You are the one who judges all [people on] the earth; [so] arise, and give/punish the proud [leaders of our] people like they deserve.
Aw Khawmdek awi ak dengkung, tho lah; ak oek qukhqi ce a nai a koem na thung lah.
3 Yahweh, how long will those wicked [people] be glad/happy? It is not right that [RHQ] they continue being glad!
Thlakchekhqi iqyt dy, Aw Bawipa, thlakche khqi iqyt dy ami hoel poeng kaw?
4 They do evil things, and they boast about doing them; how long will they [be allowed to] continue doing that?
Oek qunaak ak awi sa unawh; thlakchekhqi ing oek qunaak ak awi ing be uhy.
5 Yahweh, [it is as though] those wicked people crush [us], your people; they (oppress/treat cruelly) those who belong to you [DOU].
Aw Bawipa, nak thlangkhqi ce phep a re unawh; na qo ak pangkhqi ce the a kha na uhy.
6 They murder widows and orphans and people from other countries who [think it is safe to] live in our land.
Nuhaikhqi ingkaw khinkhqi ce him unawh, pa ak naikhqi ce him uhy.
7 Those wicked people say, “Yahweh does not see anything; [so] the God whom those Israelis [worship] does not see [the evil things that we do].”
Bawipa ing am hu hy; Jacob a Khawsa ing kawna am sui hy,” ti uhy.
8 You evil people [who rule Israel], you are foolish and stupid; when will you become wise [RHQ]?
Nangmih thlang khqing lak awh poeknaak amak takhqi aw, poek hqeet lah thaw voei uk ti; nangmih thlakqaw tloek aw, ityk awh nami cyih kaw?
9 God made our ears; so [do you think that] he cannot hear [what you say] [RHQ]? He created our eyes; so do you think that he cannot see [the evil things that you do] [RHQ]?
Haa ak saikung ing am za hly nawh nu? Mik ak saikung ing am hu hly nawh nu?
10 He also scolds [the leaders of other] nations; so do you think that he will not punish [you] [RHQ]? He is the one who knows everything; [so why do you think that he does not know what you do] [RHQ]?
Pilnam thlang ak cawngpyikung ing am toel hly nawh nu? Thlang ak cawngpyikung ce cyihnaak voet nawh hy voei nu?
11 Yahweh knows [everything] that people are thinking; he knows that what they think ([is useless/vanishes as quickly as]) smoke [MET].
Thlanghqing ak kawpoek Bawipa ing sim nawh; cekkhqi taw zilh mai ni tice sim hy.
12 Yahweh, you are pleased with people who [want you to] discipline/correct them, those who [want you to] teach them your laws.
Aw Bawipa, nang ing nam cuuk thlangkhqi taw a zoseen hy, nang a anaa awi ak cawngkhqi taw a zoseen hy;
13 When those people have had troubles, you cause those troubles to cease, and some day [it will be as though] you will dig pits for wicked people, and they will fall into those pits [and die].
thlakche aham lawk-kqawng ak co na a awm hlan dy kyinaak khawnghi ak khui awhkawng cekhqi ce hawih khangnaak pe hyk ti.
14 Yahweh will not abandon his people; he will not desert like that those who belong to him [DOU].
Ikawtih, Bawipa ing ak thlangkhqi cetaw am qoek tang; a qo ak pang hly tyng thlangkhqi ce am hlah tikaw.
15 [Some day] judges will decide matters fairly for people, and all honest/righteous people will be pleased about that.
Awidengnaak ce dyngnaak awh awm kawmsaw, kawlung ak dyng thlangkhqi boeih ing ce ce hquut kawm uh.
16 But when wicked [people] ([oppressed me/treated me cruelly]), (who defended me?/no one defended me.) [RHQ] No one stood up to testify for me against those evil people [RHQ].
Thlakche ak tuk aham ka ham u nu ak dyi kaw? Ik-oeih che ak saikhqi ce u ing nu a oelh law lah voei?
17 If Yahweh had not helped me [at that time], [I would have been executed], [and] my soul/spirit would have gone to the place where [dead people] say nothing.
Bawipa ing ama nik pyi mantaw, thihnaak dek khuiawh ni ka awm hly hawh hy.
18 I said/thought [to myself], “I am about to die,” but Yahweh, you held me up by faithfully loving me.
Kai ing, Ka khaw bah hy,” ka ti awh ce, Aw Bawipa, na lungnaak ing nim thawh hy.
19 Whenever I am very worried, you comfort/encourage me and cause me to be happy.
Ka kawpoek a kyi soeih awh, nang ngaihqepnaak ing ka hqingnaak zeel sak hy.
20 You have nothing to do with wicked judges, who establish laws that allow people to do what is not legal.
Ak awi tlyhnaak ing kyinaak pe nawh, ak plawci thai boei ngawihdoelh ingkaw nang anglakawh phaqunaak ak awm hly thai aw?
21 They plan to get rid of righteous [people], and they declare that (innocent people/people who have not done what is wrong) must be executed.
Cekhqi ing za qu unawh thlakdyng ce tuk uhy, ak awm dym ce thih ham dyna dawk sak uhy.
22 But Yahweh (has become [like] my fortress/protects me) [MET]; my God is [like a huge] rock under which I am protected/safe [MET].
Cehlai Bawipa taw kai a vawngbau cak na awm nawh, kai kang thuknaak lungnu taw Khawsa ni.
23 He will punish those wicked leaders in return for the wicked things that they have done, and will get rid of them for the sins that they have committed; [yes], Yahweh our God will (wipe them out/destroy them completely).
Cekkhqi a thawlhnaak ce thung pe kawmsaw ak che sainaak awh cekkhqi ce hqe kaw; Bawipa ningnih a Khawsa ing cekkhqi ce hqe kaw.
