Saam 77

1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. Jeduthun ah sak koi Asaph ih Saam laa. Sithaw khaeah ka hangh; ka hangh naah, anih mah ka lok ang tahngaih pae.

Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.

2 Raihaih ka tong naah Angraeng to ka pakrong; angpho ai ah aqum ah ban ka payangh; ka hinghaih mah pathloephaih to koeh ai.

In the day of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be comforted:

3 Sithaw ka poek moe, raihaih ka tong; ka poek het naah ka muithla angpho. (Selah)

I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.

4 Nang mah ka mik pakhrip thai ai ah nang suek; raihaih ka tong pongah lok ka pae thai ai.

My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.

5 Kalaem tangcae aninawk hoi canghnii ih adungnawk to ka poek.

I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.

6 Aqum ah kaimah ih laa to ka poek; kaimah ih palung hoiah lok ka paeh hoi; to naah ka muithla mah lok ang dueng.

And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.

7 Angraeng mah dungzan khoek to pahnawt tih boeh maw? A tahmenhaih amtuengsak mak ai boeh maw?

Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?

8 A palungnathaih to dungzan khoek to boeng tih boeh maw? A lokkamhaih doeh amro poe tih boeh maw?

Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?

9 Tahmen hanah Sithaw mah pahnet boeh maw? Palungphui pongah palungnathaih thok to khah ving boeh maw? (Selah)

Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?

10 To naah raihaih ka tong; toe Kasang koek bantang ban hoiah sak ih saningnawk to ka poek han, tiah ka thuih.

And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High.

11 Angraeng mah sak ih hmuennawk to ka poek han; canghnii ah na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to ka pakuem poe han.

I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.

12 Na toksakhaihnawk boih to ka poek moe, na toksakhaihnawk to ka thuih han.

And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.

13 Aw Sithaw, na loklam loe ciim; aicae Sithaw baktiah lensawk Sithaw mi maw om vop?

Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God?

14 Nang loe dawnrai hmuennawk sah Sithaw ah na oh; na thacakhaih to minawk salakah nam tuengsak.

Thou art the God that dost wonders. Thou hast made thy power known among the nations:

15 Na ban thacakhaih hoiah nangmah ih kaminawk, Jakob hoi Joseph ih caanawk to na pahlong. (Selah)

With thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph.

16 Aw Sithaw, tuinawk mah nang ang hnuk o; tuinawk mah nang ang hnuk o naah, ang zit o; kathuk tuinawk doeh tasoeh o.

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.

17 Tamainawk mah tui to kraih o; vannawk ah khopazih; nang ih kaliinawk doeh ahmuen kruekah krak o.

Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound. For thy arrows pass:

18 Nang ih khopazih tuen loe van ah oh; tangphrapuekhaih mah long to toeh; long loe tasoeh moe, anghuenh.

The voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.

19 Na loklam loe tuipui thungah oh, na caehhaih loklam loe kalen tuipuinawk thungah oh, na khok tangkannawk loe amtueng ai.

Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known.

20 Mosi hoi Aaron ih ban hoiah nangmah ih kaminawk to tuunawk baktiah na hoih.

Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
