Psalms 80
1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Lilies.' A testimony of Asaph. — A Psalm. Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Leading Joseph as a flock, Inhabiting the cherubs — shine forth,
Aw Israel tuudoenkung, tukkqeng amyihna Joseph ak sawikung ngai law lah, nang cherubim anglak li awh ngawi nawh, vang law lah.
2 Before Ephraim, and Benjamin, and Manasseh, Wake up Thy might, and come for our salvation.
Ephraim, Benjamin ingkaw Manoseh a haiawh. Nak thaawmnaak y lah; law nawhtaw kaimih ve ni hul khqi lah.
3 O God, cause us to turn back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.
Aw Khawsa, kaimih ve ni thaw khqi tlaih nawh; na haai ce kaimih ak khan awh vang sak lah, cawhtaw hulna awm kawng unyng.
4 Jehovah, God of Hosts, till when? Thou hast burned against the prayer of Thy people.
Aw Bawipa Boeimang Khawsa, ityk dy nu nak thlangkhqi ak cykcahnaak awh nak kaw a seet hly.
5 Thou hast caused them to eat bread of tears, And causest them to drink With tears a third time.
Cekhqi ce nang ing mikphli ing buh ai sak khqi hawh tiksaw; boet awh ak bena mikphli tui ce awk sak hawh hyk ti.
6 Thou makest us a strife to our neighbours, And our enemies mock at it.
Ka kengsam awhkaw thlangkhqi ak kawqepnaak na ni sai tiksaw, ka qaalkhqi a qaihbu na ni sai hyk ti.
7 God of Hosts, turn us back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.
Aw Boeimang thakawm Khawsa, kaimih ve ni thaw khqi tlaih nawh; na haai ce kaimih ak khan awh vang sak lah, cawhtaw hulna awm kawng unyng.
8 A vine out of Egypt Thou dost bring, Thou dost cast out nations, and plantest it.
Izip qam awhkawng nang ing misurkung hawlaw tiksaw; pilnam thlangkhqi na hqek boeih congawh ling hyk ti.
9 Thou hast looked before it, and dost root it, And it filleth the land,
Ce nang lingnaak aham dek chei hqeet hyk ti, ak kqa thla nawh qam khuiawh zam tikzak hy.
10 Covered have been hills [with] its shadow, And its boughs [are] cedars of God.
Thlangkhqi ce a hliip ing dah nawh, a paangkhqi ing sidor thing tha ak awm soeih khqi awm dah tlyp hy.
11 It sendeth forth its branches unto the sea, And unto the river its sucklings.
A paangkhqi ing tuicunli pha nawh, ak kqakhqi ing lawngnu tui pha hy.
12 Why hast Thou broken down its hedges, And all passing by the way have plucked it?
Ak thoek cawnkhqi ing misur thaih amik bihnaak ham ikaw hamna vawng na hqe peek?
13 A boar out of the forest doth waste it, And a wild beast of the fields consumeth it.
Kqawng nakaw vawmngaikhqi ing naawk unawh kqawng nakaw chukphakhqi ing ai uhy.
14 God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from heaven, and see, and inspect this vine,
Aw Boeimang Khawsa, kaimih benna hlat law lah! Khan nakawng ni nuk toek law nawhtaw ni hu lah!
15 And the root that Thy right hand planted, And the branch Thou madest strong for Thee,
Nak tangkut ing nang ling ak kqa, namah aham nam thawh ca pa ve.
16 Burnt with fire — cut down, From the rebuke of Thy face they perish.
Na misur ve chawm unawh, mai awh phum uhy; nang a toelnaak awh nak thlangkhqi plawci kang uhy.
17 Let Thy hand be on the man of Thy right hand, On the son of man Thou hast strengthened for Thyself.
Na kut ce nak tang benawh ak ngawi thlang ak khan awh tloeng pe, namah aham nang ing nam thawh thlanghqing capa ak khan awh.
18 And we do not go back from Thee, Thou dost revive us, and in Thy name we call.
Cawhtaw nang ce am ning hlat taak voel kawng unyng; kaimih ve ni caih sak khqi tlaih lah, cawhtaw nang ming ce nik khy hly hawh unyng.
19 O Jehovah, God of Hosts, turn us back, Cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved!
Aw Bawipa Boeimang Khawsa, ak cyk awhkaw amyihna kaimih ve ni awm sak khqi tlaih lah; hulna kami awmnaak thai aham na haai ce kaimih ak khan awh vang law sak lah.
