Psalms 97
1 Yahweh is the king! I want [everyone on] the earth to be glad/happy, and the [people who live on] the islands in the oceans to [also] rejoice [about that!]
BOEIPA he a manghai coeng dongah diklai loh omngaih saeh lamtah langdai puei loh a kohoe uh saeh.
2 There are very dark clouds around him [to hide him]; he rules [MTY] righteously/justly and fairly.
Cingmai neh yinnah loh a kaepvai ah a vael tih a ngolkhoel hmuen ah duengnah neh tiktamnah om.
3 He [sends] fire in front of him, and he completely burns all his enemies in that fire.
Amah hmai ah hmai cet tih a rhal kah vaepvai te a hlawp.
4 All around the world he causes lightning to flash; [people on] the earth see it, and it causes them to [be afraid and] tremble.
Amah kah khopha a phaa vaengah lunglai loh a hmuh tih diklai khaw thuen.
5 The mountains/hills melt like wax in front of Yahweh, the one who is the Lord, [who rules] over all the earth.
Tlang rhoek te BOEIPA hmai ah, diklai pum loh Boeipa hmai ah khoirhat bangla yut.
6 The [angels in] [MTY] heaven proclaim that he acts righteously, and all the people-groups see his glory.
BOEIPA kah duengnah te vaan loh a doek tih a thangpomnah te pilnam cungkuem loh a hmuh uh.
7 Everyone who worships idols should be ashamed; all those who are proud of their false gods [should realize that their gods are useless], [It is as though] all those gods bow down [to worship] Yahweh.
Mueithuk taengah tho aka thueng tih a honghi dongah aka yan uh boeih neh pathen tloe rhoek taengah aka bakop rhoek boeih te yahpok uh saeh.
8 [The people] [MTY] of Jerusalem hear [about Yahweh] and are glad/happy, and [people in the other] [MTY] cities in Judah [also] rejoice, because Yahweh judges [and punishes wicked people].
BOEIPA nang kah laitloeknah te a yaak vaengah Zion loh a kohoe tih Judah nu rhoek khaw omngaih uh.
9 Yahweh is the supreme [king] over all the earth; he has very great power, and all the [other] gods have no power at all.
BOEIPA nang tah diklai boeih soah Khohni la na om dongah pathen tloe rhoek boeih lakah bahoeng na pomsang.
10 Yahweh loves those who hate what [people do that] is evil; he protects the lives of his people, and he rescues them when the wicked [people try to harm them].
BOEIPA aka lungnah rhoek loh boethae te hnoel uh. A hinglu te a cim la aka ngaithuen tah halang rhoek kut khui lamkah khaw BOEIPA loh a huul.
11 His light shines on righteous [people]; he causes those who are righteous to rejoice.
Aka dueng ham vangnah, lungbuei aka thuem ham khaw kohoenah he cuen.
12 You righteous [people], rejoice about what Yahweh [has done], and thank him, our holy God!
Aka dueng rhoek BOEIPA ah kohoe sak uh lamtah a hmuencim poekkoepnah te uem uh.
