Psalms 79
1 A psalm of Asaph. Heathen, O God, have come into your land, defiling your holy temple, and laying Jerusalem in ruins.
Asaph kah Tingtoenglung Pathen aw, namtom rhoek loh na rho a kun uh thil tih, na bawkim cim te a poeih uh. Jerusalem te lairhok bangla a khueh uh.
2 They have given the bodies of your dead servants to the birds of the air to devour, and the flesh of your faithful to the beasts of the field.
Na sal rhoek kah a rhok te vaan kah vaa taengah, na hlangcim rhoek kah a saa te diklai mulhing taengah cakok la a paek uh.
3 Round about Jerusalem they have poured out their blood like water; and there was no one to bury them.
Amih thii te Jerusalem kaepvai ah tui bangla a hawk uh tih aka up om pawh.
4 On every side our neighbours revile us and mock us and jeer at us.
Kaimih he imben rhoek kah kokhahnah, ka taengvai kah tamdaengnah neh soehsalnah la ka om uh.
5 How long will you be angry, O Lord? Will your jealousy burn like fire forever?
BOEIPA aw me hil nim na thin a toek ve? Na thatlainah te hmai bangla rhong yoeyah aya?
6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, on the kingdoms that do not call on your name.
Nang aka ming pawh namtom rhoek so neh na ming aka khue mueh ram soah na kosi hawk thil lah.
7 For Jacob they devoured, they have desolated his home.
Jakob te a yoop uh tih a tolkhoeng te a pong sakuh.
8 Do not remember against us our ancestors’ sins; O meet us soon with your pity, for utterly weak are we.
Lamhm a kathaesainah a rho kaimih taengah thoelh boel lamtah dikdik ka tlayae uh dongah na haidamnah kaimih koe n'doe uh saeh.
9 Help us, O God our saviour, for the renown of your name: for your reputation deliver us and cover over our sins.
Kaimih kah daemnah Pathen aw na thangpomnah ming ham kaimih m'bom dae. Na ming kongah kaimih n'huul lamtah kaimih kah tholhnah te han dawth dae.
10 Why should the nations say, ‘Where is their God?’ Let revenge for the outpoured blood of your servants be shown on the heathen before our eyes.
Balae tih namtom rhoek loh, A Pathen khaw melae?,” a ti uh eh. Na sal rhoek kah thii aka hawk namtom taengah tawnlohnah loh kaimih mikhmuh ah aka thoeng te namtom rhoek loh ming uh saeh.
11 May the groans of the prisoner come before you; free the children of death by your mighty arm.
Thongtl a kah a kiinah loh namah taengla ha pawk saeh. Dueknah cadil rhoek te na boeilennah bantha neh sueng sak.
12 Pay our neighbours back sevenfold for the scorn they have heaped upon you, O Lord.
Te vaengah kaimih kah imben rhoek te voeirhih la thuung lah. A kodang ah amih kah kokhahnah neh Boeipa namah ni m'veet uh coeng te.
13 Then we, your people, the flock of your pasture, will give thanks to you for evermore, and tell your praise to all generations.
Te dongah na pilnam kaimih neh na rhamtlim kah boiva long tah, namah te kumhal duela kan uem uh ni. Cadilcahma neh cadilcahma hil nang koehnah te ka tae uh ni.
