Psalms 94
1 Yahweh, you are able to get revenge [on your enemies]. [So] show them that you are going to punish them!
Kasakkung: Panuekhoeh Oe BAWIPA Cathut, moipathungnae katawnkung, Oe Cathut moipathungnae katawnkung, ang haw.
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.
Talai taminaw lawkcengkung, thaw haw, ka kâoupnaw hah moipathung haw.
3 Yahweh, how long will those wicked [people] be glad/happy? It is not right that [RHQ] they continue being glad!
Oe BAWIPA, tamikathoutnaw teh nâtotouh ne, nâtotouh ne a lunghawi awh han vai.
4 They do evil things, and they boast about doing them; how long will they [be allowed to] continue doing that?
A ngai patetlah lawk a dei awh teh, a lawk a hram awh teh, nâtotouh ne a kâoup awh han vai.
5 Yahweh, [it is as though] those wicked people crush [us], your people; they (oppress/treat cruelly) those who belong to you [DOU].
Oe BAWIPA, na taminaw hah a pacekpahlek awh teh, nange râw hah a rektap awh.
6 They murder widows and orphans and people from other countries who [think it is safe to] live in our land.
Lahmainu hoi imyinnaw hah a thei awh teh, na pa kaawm hoeh e naw hah ouk a thei awh.
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 ni hmawt mahoeh, Jakop Cathut ni hai panuek mahoeh ati awh.
8 You evil people [who rule Israel], you are foolish and stupid; when will you become wise [RHQ]?
Maya thung dawk e tamipathunaw, panuek awh haw, Nâtuek maw na lungang awh han vai.
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]?
Thainae hnâ kasakkung ni thai mahoeh ou. Mit kasakkung ni hmawt mahoeh ou.
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]?
Miphunnaw kacangkhaikung hoi panuenae kacangkhaikung ni panuek mahoeh ou.
11 Yahweh knows [everything] that people are thinking; he knows that what they think ([is useless/vanishes as quickly as]) smoke [MET].
BAWIPA ni taminaw e pouknae banghai bang hoeh e hah a panue.
12 Yahweh, you are pleased with people who [want you to] discipline/correct them, those who [want you to] teach them your laws.
Oe BAWIPA, na kâlawk dawk hoi na cangkhai teh, na yue e naw teh a yawkahawi e lah ao.
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].
Tamikathout hanelah tangkom tai hoehroukrak, runae dawk hoi na kâhat sak thai mahoeh.
14 Yahweh will not abandon his people; he will not desert like that those who belong to him [DOU].
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni a taminaw hah hnoun mahoeh, a râw takhoe mahoeh.
15 [Some day] judges will decide matters fairly for people, and all honest/righteous people will be pleased about that.
Hatei, tamikalan koe lawkcengnae ban vaiteh, a lungthin kalan e pueng ni a tarawi awh han.
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].
Yonnae kasaknaw taran hanelah apimouh kai hanlah ka thaw han. Payonnae kasaknaw taran hanelah apimaw kai yueng lah kangdout han.
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 teh kabawmkung lah awm hoeh pawiteh, duem onae koe ka hringnae yout kahmat han doeh toe.
18 I said/thought [to myself], “I am about to die,” but Yahweh, you held me up by faithfully loving me.
Kangduenae hawihoeh ka tet pawiteh, Oe BAWIPA, na lungmanae ni na kuet han.
19 Whenever I am very worried, you comfort/encourage me and cause me to be happy.
Ka lung mak pathu navah, lung na pahawinae ni ka lung ahawi sak.
20 You have nothing to do with wicked judges, who establish laws that allow people to do what is not legal.
Payonnae bawitungkhung, hawihoehnae phung hai a sak awh e teh, nang hoi kâhuiko thai han vaimoe.
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.
Ayânaw hringnae taranlahoi a kâhmo teh, yonnae ka tawn hoeh naw hah yon a pen awh.
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].
Hatei, BAWIPA teh ka kânguenae doeh. Ka Cathut teh ka lungsong doeh.
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).
A payonnae hah amamouh lathueng phat sak nateh, hawihoehnae a sak awh lahun nah koung a tâtueng awh han. BAWIPA maimae Cathut ni koung a tâtueng awh han.
