Saam 76

1 Judah qam awh Khawsa ce sim unawh; Israel qam awh ang ming bau soeih hy.

For the end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian. God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel.

2 Salem awh a hibai im ce awm nawh, Zion awh awmnaak hun ce awm hy.

And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.

3 Amah cawh lakhqi, phuhqa ingkaw zawzikhqi, qaal tuknaak liva sapangkhqi ce hqe pehy.

There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Pause)

4 Nang taw vangnaak ing na qym awm soeih hy, chukpha ing ak be tlang anglakawh na qyp awm khqoet hy.

You do wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.

5 Am thin ak awm thlangkhqi aming zaih awh muk nawh, ih a dytnaak ing ip poe uhy; qaal tuk tha ak awmkhqi pynoet ca ingawm a kut am phyl hqa uhy.

All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.

6 Aw Jacob a Khawsa, nang ing na phep dawngawh meqang ingkaw meqang sen awm zaih hqoeng hy.

At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.

7 Nang doeng ni kqih aham na awm. Nak kaw a so awh ce na haiawh a u nu ak dyi thai kaw?

You are terrible; and who shall withstand you, because of your anger?

8 Khan nakawng awi dengnaak ce kqawn tiksaw, qam ing ak kqih aih awh awm dym hy.

You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

9 Aw Khawsa, awi deng aham na hang dyih awh ce, qam khui awhkaw khawdeng thlangkhqi hul aham cawh nang dyih awh.

when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. (Pause)

10 Thlanghqingkhqik khan awh nak kawsonaak ing nam kyihcahnaak ce hawlaw nawh, nak kawsonaak nak qoeng thoemkhqi ing thoeihcam qu hyk ti.

For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to you: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to you.

11 Bawipa na Khawsa venawh awi na kam ce soepkep boeih ing kqih aham ak awm thlang a venawh laksawng ce khyn law pe u seh.

Vow, and pay [your vows] to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, [even] to him that is terrible,

12 Anih ing ukkungkhqi ang myihla hqe pehy; Khawmdek awhkaw sangpahrang khqi ing anih ce kqih uhy.

and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.
