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.

I cried to God with my voice, even 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 the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: 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 troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. (Selah)

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

You hold my eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

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

I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

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.

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

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

Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favorable no more?

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

Is his mercy clean gone for ever? does his promise fail for ever more?

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

Has God forgotten to be gracious? has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? (Selah)

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, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years 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 will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember your wonders of old.

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

I will meditate also of all your work, and talk of your doings.

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

Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

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

You are the God that do wonders: you have declared your strength among the people.

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

You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)

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 you, O God, the waters saw you; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

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

The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: your arrows also went abroad.

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

The voice of your thunder was in the heaven: the lightning lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

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

Your way is in the sea, and your path in the great waters, and your footsteps are not known.

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

You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
