< Psalms 74 >

1 Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for ever? [why] doth thy anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
Kathutkung: Asaph Oe Cathut bangkongmaw na pahnawt vaw. Bangkongmaw na saring a pânae koe e na tuhunaw taranlahoi na lungkhueknae hmaikhu a pâyam rah bo vaw.
2 Remember thy congregation, [which] thou hast purchased of old: the rod of thy inheritance, [which] thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, in which thou hast dwelt.
Kamkhueng e tamimaya, yampa na ran e, râw lah na pang e miphun, na ratang e naw heh pahnim hanh.
3 Lift up thy feet to the perpetual desolations; [even] all [that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
Raphoe tangcoung e hmuen koe tho haw. Hmuen kathoung dawk e hno pueng hah taran ni koung a raphoe toe.
4 Thy enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns [for] signs.
Na taminaw a kamkhuengnae hmuen koe, na tarannaw teh a hramki awh teh, mitnoutnaw hah a vo awh.
5 [A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
Ratu thing ka tâtueng hane patetlah, cakânaw teh a palik awh.
6 But now they break down the carved work of it at once with axes and hammers.
Dongdengca dawk bawkim hnonaw hah amamae cakâ, cakkinnaw hoi a raphoe awh.
7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled [by casting down] the dwelling-place of thy name to the ground.
Thoungnae hmuen hah hmai a sawi awh teh, na min onae hmuen hah a khin sak awh toe.
8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
Koung raphoe awh sei ati awh teh, ram thung e Cathut bawknae hmuen pueng hah hmai koung a sawi awh.
9 We see not our signs: [there is] no more any prophet: neither [is there] among us any that knoweth how long.
Kaimouh teh mae mitnoutnae ka hmawt awh hoeh toe. Profet hai awm hoeh toe. Bangkong han nama aw, telah kapanuekkung kaimouh koe awm hoeh toe.
10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
Oe Cathut, bangkongmaw na tarannaw ni na pathoe han. Taran ni na min pou a pacekpahlek han na maw.
11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck [it] out of thy bosom.
Bangkongmaw na kut aranglae hah na dâw hoeh vaw. Bout dâw nateh, ahnimanaw hah koung raphoe haw.
12 For God [is] my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Bangtelah tetpawiteh, Cathut teh ayan hoi talai taminaw koe rungngangnae kasakkung kaie Siangpahrang doeh.
13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou didst break the heads of the dragons in the waters.
Na thaonae lahoi talîpui hah na kapek teh, tui thung tuitamnaw e lû hah na khoe pouh.
14 Thou didst break the head of leviathan in pieces, [and] didst give him [to be] food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
Leviathan lû hah koung na khoe pouh teh, kahrawng kaawmnaw ni ca hanelah na poe.
15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou didst dry up mighty rivers.
Tuikhu hoi palangnaw hah na palang pouh teh, palangpuinaw hah na hak sak.
16 The day [is] thine, the night also [is] thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
Khodai hoi karum hai nange doeh Kanî hoi angnae hah na sak toe.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
Talai khori pueng hai thoseh, kompawi hoi kasik pueng hai thoseh na sak toe.
18 Remember this, the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
Oe BAWIPA, taran ni na pathoe e hoi tamipathunaw ni na min a pacekpahlek e hah pahnim hanh.
19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtle dove to the multitude [of the wicked]: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
Oe, na bakhu hringnae heh sarang koe poe hanh. Ka mathoe e na taminaw e hringnae heh a yungyoe pahnim hanh.
20 Have respect to the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
Lawkkam hah bari haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, talai a hmonae hmuennaw hah rektap lawpnae hoi akawi.
21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
Oe, repcoungroe e naw heh, kaya laihoi ban sak hanh. Mathoe hoi a reikathainaw ni na min pholen naseh.
22 Arise, O God, plead thy own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
Oe Cathut, thaw nateh, na kong hah kangdoutkhai haw. Tamipathu ni hnintangkuem na pathoe e hah pahnim hanh.
23 Forget not the voice of thy enemies: the tumult of those that rise against thee increaseth continually.
Na tarannaw lawk heh pahnim hanh. Nang na ka tarannaw e ruengruengtinae lawk teh hoehoe a kampaw e hah pahnim hanh.
