Saam 94
1 Aw Bawipa, lu ak lokung Khawsa, lu ak lokung Aw Khawsa, vang pheng lah.
O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongs; O God, to whom vengeance belongs, show yourself.
2 Aw Khawmdek awi ak dengkung, tho lah; ak oek qukhqi ce a nai a koem na thung lah.
Lift up yourself, you judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 Thlakchekhqi iqyt dy, Aw Bawipa, thlakche khqi iqyt dy ami hoel poeng kaw?
LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 Oek qunaak ak awi sa unawh; thlakchekhqi ing oek qunaak ak awi ing be uhy.
How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 Aw Bawipa, nak thlangkhqi ce phep a re unawh; na qo ak pangkhqi ce the a kha na uhy.
They break in pieces your people, O LORD, and afflict your heritage.
6 Nuhaikhqi ingkaw khinkhqi ce him unawh, pa ak naikhqi ce him uhy.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Bawipa ing am hu hy; Jacob a Khawsa ing kawna am sui hy,” ti uhy.
Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8 Nangmih thlang khqing lak awh poeknaak amak takhqi aw, poek hqeet lah thaw voei uk ti; nangmih thlakqaw tloek aw, ityk awh nami cyih kaw?
Understand, all of you brutish among the people: and all of you fools, when will all of you be wise?
9 Haa ak saikung ing am za hly nawh nu? Mik ak saikung ing am hu hly nawh nu?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 Pilnam thlang ak cawngpyikung ing am toel hly nawh nu? Thlang ak cawngpyikung ce cyihnaak voet nawh hy voei nu?
He that chastises the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teaches man knowledge, shall not he know?
11 Thlanghqing ak kawpoek Bawipa ing sim nawh; cekkhqi taw zilh mai ni tice sim hy.
The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Aw Bawipa, nang ing nam cuuk thlangkhqi taw a zoseen hy, nang a anaa awi ak cawngkhqi taw a zoseen hy;
Blessed is the man whom you chasten, O LORD, and teach him out of your law;
13 thlakche aham lawk-kqawng ak co na a awm hlan dy kyinaak khawnghi ak khui awhkawng cekhqi ce hawih khangnaak pe hyk ti.
That you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be dug for the wicked.
14 Ikawtih, Bawipa ing ak thlangkhqi cetaw am qoek tang; a qo ak pang hly tyng thlangkhqi ce am hlah tikaw.
For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 Awidengnaak ce dyngnaak awh awm kawmsaw, kawlung ak dyng thlangkhqi boeih ing ce ce hquut kawm uh.
But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Thlakche ak tuk aham ka ham u nu ak dyi kaw? Ik-oeih che ak saikhqi ce u ing nu a oelh law lah voei?
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Bawipa ing ama nik pyi mantaw, thihnaak dek khuiawh ni ka awm hly hawh hy.
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 Kai ing, Ka khaw bah hy,” ka ti awh ce, Aw Bawipa, na lungnaak ing nim thawh hy.
When I said, My foot slips; your mercy, O LORD, held me up.
19 Ka kawpoek a kyi soeih awh, nang ngaihqepnaak ing ka hqingnaak zeel sak hy.
In the multitude of my thoughts within me your comforts delight my soul.
20 Ak awi tlyhnaak ing kyinaak pe nawh, ak plawci thai boei ngawihdoelh ingkaw nang anglakawh phaqunaak ak awm hly thai aw?
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with you, which frames mischief by a law?
21 Cekhqi ing za qu unawh thlakdyng ce tuk uhy, ak awm dym ce thih ham dyna dawk sak uhy.
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 Cehlai Bawipa taw kai a vawngbau cak na awm nawh, kai kang thuknaak lungnu taw Khawsa ni.
But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 Cekkhqi a thawlhnaak ce thung pe kawmsaw ak che sainaak awh cekkhqi ce hqe kaw; Bawipa ningnih a Khawsa ing cekkhqi ce hqe kaw.
And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
