Psalms 79
1 A Psalm by Asaph. God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
Aw Khawsa, pilnam thlangkhqi ing na qo ak pangkhqi tuk hawh uhy; na bawkim ciim ce tyih kap sak unawh, Jerusalem ce qawp sak hawh uhy.
2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth.
Na tyihzawih thlangkhqi qawk ce khan nakaw phakhqi a buh na pe uhy; nak thlang ciimkhqi a sa ce khawmdek qamsakhqi a buh na pe uhy.
3 They have shed their blood like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
Jerusalem a kengsam awh tui amyihna thi ce hawk uhy, qawk ak pup hly kawi u pynoet awm am awm hy.
4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
Kami kengsam awhkaw thlangkhqi a qaihbu nani kami awm hawh hy.
5 How long, Yahweh? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
Iqyt dy nu, Aw Bawipa? Kumqui dyna nak kaw so hly hawh nawh nu? Iqyt dy nu nak thatlainaak ce mai amyihna a uih kaw?
6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,
Nang ama nik sim pilnam ak khan awh nak kawsonaak ce hawk lah, nang ming amak khy pilnam ak khan awh nak kawsonaak ce hawk lah;
7 for they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.
kawtih cekhqi ing Jacob ce daih unawh a im a lokhqi ce hqe pe pheng hawh uhy.
8 Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
Ami pakhqi a thawlhnaak ce kaimih koeh nik kawqut nak khqi; nam qeennaak ing kaimih hqum aham ang tawnna law hlah seh, voet a hlauh na awm hqoeng hawh unyng.
9 Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake.
Aw Khawsa kaimih a hulkung, kaimih ve ni hul khqi lah, nang ming thangleeknaak aham; namah ang ming ak caming kaimih ve ni hul khqi nawhtaw ni thaawng khqi lah.
10 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants’ blood is being poured out.
Ikawtih pilnam thlangkhqi ing, “Hana a Khawsa a awm?” ami ti hly paqap? Kaimih amik huh awh pilnam thlangkhqi a sim na kqawn unawh, na tyihzawih thlangkhqi a thi phu nang ing lo hy tice sim lah u seh.
11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death.
Thawng ak tlakhqi ak khynaak awi ing na haai pha law seitaw; na bantha ing thih aham ami thawlh sak ce dem sak lah.
12 Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.
Ka kengsam awhkaw thlangkhqi namah a nik thekhanaakkhqi ce a phai awh pyh ak khqih dy awh Bawipa nang ing thung lah.
13 So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
Cawhtaw nang ak thlangkhqi, na qamno a sainaak awhkaw tuukhqi ing nang ce kumqui dyna nim kyihcah hawh kawm uh; cadil dyna nang kyihcahnaak ce kqawn kawng unyng.
