Psalms 44
1 For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. A contemplative psalm. We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.
O Pathen, phat sottah masanga kapu kapateo khanglai a nanatoh nathil bolho eina seipeh u chu keiho tah in kanakol un kanajaove:
2 You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.
Nangin nangma helou namtin vaipi ho naban thahat in nana deljam in agam leiset uchu kapu kapateo nanapen ahi. Nangin agalmiteo nana suhlhuh peh in kapu kapateo chu nana chamlhat sah in ahi.
3 For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
Amahon achemjam uva gal anajouva gam analah u ahipoi; abanthahat uva jong gal anajou ahipoi. Amavang nangma ban thahat leh namaivah chun gal nana jopeh ahibouve ajeh chu nangin amaho chu nana ngailun ahi.
4 God, you are my King. Command victories for Jacob!
Nangma kalengpa le kaPathen nahin nangin Israel te dingin gal nana jo peh tai.
5 Through you, we will push down our adversaries. Through your name, we will tread down those who rise up against us.
Nangma thahatna jal a bou kagal miteo kanungno jouva ahin naming a bou keihon eidouhou kachotphao ahibouve.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither will my sword save me.
Keiman kathalpi kasongpoi, kachemjamin eihuhdoh dingjong kakinempoi.
7 But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.
Nangma bouvin kagalmi teo chunga galjona neipeh u ahibouve, hitihin nangin eihotbol teo chu jumna napejin ahi.
8 In God we have made our boast all day long. We will give thanks to your name forever. (Selah)
O Pathen nangin nilhum kei kei in naloupina nasamphongin namin kathangvah jinge.
9 But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don’t go out with our armies.
Ahinla tunvang nangin jumthetna neipaidoh u ahitai. Nangin ka sepia hou jengjong neilamkai peh tapouve.
10 You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take plunder for themselves.
Nangin kagalmi teu vakon in neinung jamsah un chuleh eidou houchu kagamsung u nalosah tai.
11 You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.
Nangin kelngoiho bangin eikisat chen chen sah gamtaovin chitin vaipi lah a neithe thang gamtaove.
12 You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.
Nangin nasahlut namitehi manbai tah in najohdoh in man neilouhel toh nabah sahtai.
13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.
Nangin kaheng kakomhou noise neichansah taovin kavelluva mite taitom le houset dingbep in neikoitaove.
14 You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
Nangin amaho totthang hoina bepseo neihisah taovin isahlou tah in alu eihih khum taovin ahi.
15 All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,
Ki taitom jingna a konhin kakile doh jouta pouvin kamai uva jumleh jachat mel kapu den taove.
16 at the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.
Kajah uhi eitaitomteo housetna thucheng ngen ahin, kamit uva kamu houhi ahileh kachunguva phula nom dougal mite ngen ahiuve.
17 All this has come on us, yet we haven’t forgotten you. We haven’t been false to your covenant.
Hichenghi kathoh jeng vangun keihon nangma kasumil deh pouvin ahi. Kitepna thuchengho jong kasukeh deh pouve.
18 Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,
Kalung thim un nangma kanuse deh pouvin nalampia konin jong kajam mangdeh pouve.
19 though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
Hinlah nangin sial chenna neldi gam anei suchipden taove, nangin thina le muthim neikhu khum taove.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread out our hands to a strange god,
Ijemtia keihon kaPathen u min kasuh mil uva ahilouleh gamdang semthu Pathen houna a kakhut u kalhandoh khah uva ahileh,
21 won’t God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
Pathen in ahet teiding ahi ajeh chu aman mihem lungthim a thuguh jouse ahet ahi.
22 Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.
Ahin, nangma jal in niseh in eiki thatnun; kelngoi bangin eiki that taove.
23 Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Don’t reject us forever.
O Pakai hung thoudoh in ibol a na imut ham? Hung thoudoh in! neipaidoh pai pai hihbeh un.
24 Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
Ipi dinga namai naheimang ham? Kathohgim naoleh eibolset naohi nanahsah lou hitam?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our body clings to the earth.
Keiho leivui lah a kalhumat gam taove, bonlhoh lah a akhupbon kakijam taove.
26 Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness’ sake.
Hung kipatdoh inlang! Neikithopiuvin! Nami ngailutna longlou chun neihung lhatdoh taovin.
