< Psalms 108 >
1 A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, ka lungthin heh a cak, pholennae na poe haw la ka sak han. Ka bawilennae totouh na poe han.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
Ratoung tamawi kâhlaw haw. Kai hai amom ka kâhlaw han.
3 I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
Oe BAWIPA, tamimaya hmalah na pholen han. Miphunnaw rahak vah, nang koe pholennae la ka sak han.
4 For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, na lungmanae ni kalvannaw totouh thoseh, na lawkkatang ni tâmai totouh thoseh a pha.
5 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
Oe Cathut, kalvannaw lathueng tawm lah awm nateh, na bawilennae teh talai van pueng lathueng vah, tawm lah awm seh.
6 That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
Na pahren e naw hlout sak lah ao awh nahanelah, aranglae kut hoi rungngang nateh, na thai pouh haw.
7 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
Cathut ni, a thoungnae lahoi ka konawm vaiteh, Shekhem hah ka pek han. Sukoth ram hah koung ka bangnue han telah a ti.
8 Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
Gilead teh kaie lah ao teh, Manasseh teh kai doeh. Ephraim hai kai hanlah bawilakhung lah ao teh, Judah teh ka tahroe lah ao.
9 Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
Moab teh tui kamhluknae hlaam lah ao teh, Edom van vah khokkhawm ka tâkhawng han. Filistin van vah tânae ka pang han.
10 Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
Ka cak e khopui dawk apinimaw na kaênkhai han. Edom vah apinimaw na hrawi han.
11 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
Oe Cathut, kai na ka pahnawt e nang ni na sak e nahoehmaw. Oe Cathut, kaimae ransanaw hoi cungtalah na ka cet hoeh e nang ni na sak nahoehmaw.
12 Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
Runae thung hoi na kabawm haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, taminaw e kabawpnae teh cungkeihoeh.
13 In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
Cathut hoi cungtalah maimouh teh, taranhawi laihoi sak awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ama teh, maimae tarannaw rep kacuengroekung doeh.
