Psalms 81
1 For the chief musician; set to the Gittith style. A psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength; shout out for joy to the God of Jacob.
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. Gittih ah sak koi Asaph ih Saam laa. Aicae thacakhaih Sithaw khaeah hanghaih hoiah laa to sah oh; Jakob Sithaw khaeah anghoehaih hoiah hang oh.
2 Sing a song and play the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.
Lok kamding katoeng tamoi to sin oh, cingceng to bop oh loe, laa hoiah pakoeh oh.
3 Blow the trumpet on the day of the new moon, on the day of the full moon, when our feast day begins.
Khrah tarae moe, khrah amdueng nathuem ih poihkung ah, mongkah to ueng oh.
4 For it is a statute for Israel, a decree given by the God of Jacob.
Hae loe Jakob Sithaw zaehhoihaih lok, Israel han paek ih thuitaekhaih lok ah oh.
5 He issued it as a regulation in Joseph when he went against the land of Egypt, where I heard a voice that I did not recognize:
Ka thaikop ai ih lok ka thaihaih, Izip prae hoiah a caeh naah, Joseph hanah to baktih lokthuihaih to a sak pae.
6 “I removed the burden from his shoulder; his hands were freed from holding the basket.
Anih palaeng nui ih kazit hmuen to ka takhoe pae moe, benthang thung hoiah a ban to ka zuh pae.
7 In your distress you called out, and I helped you; I answered you from a dark thundercloud. I tested you at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Raihaih na tongh naah, kang loisak; kamtueng ai khopazihaih ahmuen hoiah kang pathim; Meribah tuinawk nuiah nang to kang tanoek. (Selah)
8 Listen, my people, for I will warn you, Israel, if you would only listen to me!
Aw kai ih kaminawk tahngai oh, lok kang thuih o han; Aw Israel, ka lok hae na tahngai o nahaeloe!
9 There must be no foreign god among you; you must not worship any foreign god.
Nangcae khaeah kalah sithaw om mak ai; sithaw kalah doeh na bok o mak ai.
10 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Kai loe Izip prae hoiah nangcae zaehoikung, Angraeng na Sithaw ah ka oh; pakha to kakawk ah aang oh, pakha koimongah kang paek o han.
11 But my people did not listen to my words; Israel did not obey me.
Toe kai ih kaminawk loe ka lok tahngai o mak ai; Israel loe kai khaeah amha mak ai.
12 So I gave them over to their own stubborn way so that they might do what seemed right to them.
To pongah angmacae palungthahhaih baktih toengah ka prawt sut; nihcae loe angmacae koehhaih baktiah caeh o.
13 Oh, that my people would listen to me; oh, that my people would walk in my paths.
Kai ih kami mah ka lok tahngaih o moe, Israel mah ka loklam to pazui nahaeloe!
14 Then I would quickly subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their oppressors.
Nihcae ih misanawk to karangah ka kuepsak moe, a misanawk bangah ka ban ka paqoi han.
15 May those who hate Yahweh cringe in fear before him! May they be humiliated forever.
Angraeng hnuma kaminawk loe angmacae koeh ah anih hmaa ah akuep o tih, nihcae danpaekhaih loe dungzan khoek to om tih boeh.
16 I would feed Israel with the finest wheat; I would satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
Anih mah kakhraem koek buh hoiah nihcae to pacah ueloe, cathaeng thung ih khoitui hoiah na zok kam hahsak han, tiah a thuih.
