< Psalms 115 >
1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name bring honor, for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness.
Kaicae khaeah na ai, Aw Angraeng, kaicae khaeah na ai, na palungnathaih hoi na loktang lok pongah, na hmin lensawkhaih to om nasoe.
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
Tipongah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah, Nihcae ih Sithaw loe naa ah maw oh tiah thuih o loe?
3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever he pleases.
Aicae ih Sithaw loe van ah oh; anih loe a koeh baktiah hmuennawk to sak.
4 The nations' idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Nihcae ih krang loe kami ban hoiah sak ih sumkanglung hoi sui ah ni oh.
5 Those idols have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;
Nihcae loe pakha tawnh o, toe lok apae o thai ai; mik a tawnh o, toe hnu o thai ai;
6 they have ears, but they do not hear; they have noses, but they do not smell.
naa a tawnh o, toe thaih o thai ai, hnah doeh a tawnh o, toe ahmui thaih o thai ai;
7 Those idols have hands, but do not feel; they have feet, but they cannot walk; nor do they speak from their mouths.
ban a tawnh o, toe sui o thai ai; khok a tawnh o, toe caeh o thai ai; taaw hoiah lokthui o thai ai.
8 Those who make them are like them, as is everyone who trusts in them.
Krang sah kaminawk loe krang hoiah anghmong o, krang oephaih tawn kaminawk doeh krang baktiah ni oh o.
9 Israel, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
Aw Israel imthung takoh, Angraeng to oep ah; anih loe nangcae bomkung hoi angvaenghaih ah oh.
10 House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
Aaron imthung takoh, Angraeng to oep oh, anih loe nihcae bomkung hoi abuephaih ah oh.
11 You who honor Yahweh, trust in him; he is your help and shield.
Anih zii kaminawk, Angraeng to oep oh; anih loe nihcae bomkung hoi abuephaih ah oh.
12 Yahweh takes notice of us and will bless us; he will bless the family of Israel; he will bless the family of Aaron.
Angraeng mah aicae pahnet mak ai; aicae hanah angmah ih tahamhoihaih to paek tih: Israel imthung takoh to tahamhoihaih paek ueloe, Aaron imthung takoh doeh tahamhoihhaih paek tih.
13 He will bless those who honor him, both young and old.
Kathoeng doeh kalen doeh, Angraeng zii kaminawk loe anih mah tahamhoihaih to paek tih.
14 May Yahweh increase your numbers more and more, yours and your descendants'.
Angraeng mah nangmah hoi na caanawk to pungsak aep nasoe.
15 May you be blessed by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
Van hoi long sahkung Angraeng mah tahamhoihhaih paek nasoe.
16 The heavens belong to Yahweh; but the earth he has given to mankind.
Van hoi vannawk loe Angraeng ih ni; toe long loe kaminawk khaeah a paek boeh.
17 The dead do not praise Yahweh, nor do any who go down into silence;
Angqai krang ahmuen ah caeh tathuk, kadueh kaminawk loe Angraeng to saphaw o vai ai.
18 But we will bless Yahweh now and forevermore. Praise Yahweh.
Toe kaicae loe vaihi hoi dungzan khoek to Angraeng tahamhoihaih ka paek o han. Angraeng to saphaw oh.
