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.
“To the chief musician on Jeduthun, by Assaph a psalm.” [I lift up] my voice unto God, and I cry; [I lilt up] my voice unto God: do then give ear unto 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.
On the day of my distress I sought the Lord; in the night my hand was stretched out, and did not cease: my soul refused to be comforted.
3 Sithaw ka poek moe, raihaih ka tong; ka poek het naah ka muithla angpho. (Selah)
I think of God, and moan: I reflect, and my spirit is overwhelmed. (Selah)
4 Nang mah ka mik pakhrip thai ai ah nang suek; raihaih ka tong pongah lok ka pae thai ai.
Thou holdest my eyes awake: I am troubled and I cannot speak.
5 Kalaem tangcae aninawk hoi canghnii ih adungnawk to ka poek.
I think over 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; with my own heart I reflect: and my spirit maketh diligent search.
7 Angraeng mah dungzan khoek to pahnawt tih boeh maw? A tahmenhaih amtuengsak mak ai boeh maw?
Will the Lord cast me off for ever? and will he never more give his favor again?
8 A palungnathaih to dungzan khoek to boeng tih boeh maw? A lokkamhaih doeh amro poe tih boeh maw?
Is his kindness spent for ever? is his promise come to an end for all generations?
9 Tahmen hanah Sithaw mah pahnet boeh maw? Palungphui pongah palungnathaih thok to khah ving boeh maw? (Selah)
Hath God forgotten to be gracious? or hath he shut up in anger his 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 shall be my entreaty, [for] 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 deeds of the Lord; for I will remember out of ancient times thy wonders.
12 Na toksakhaihnawk boih to ka poek moe, na toksakhaihnawk to ka thuih han.
I will meditate also of all thy work, and on thy deeds will I reflect.
13 Aw Sithaw, na loklam loe ciim; aicae Sithaw baktiah lensawk Sithaw mi maw om vop?
O God, in holiness is thy way: where is there a god so great as 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 known among the people thy strength.
15 Na ban thacakhaih hoiah nangmah ih kaminawk, Jakob hoi Joseph ih caanawk to na pahlong. (Selah)
Thou hast redeemed with [a mighty] arm thy 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 thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they shook: also the depths trembled.
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 forth thunder: also thy arrows sped along.
18 Nang ih khopazih tuen loe van ah oh; tangphrapuekhaih mah long to toeh; long loe tasoeh moe, anghuenh.
The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; lightnings gave light to the world; the earth trembled and quaked,
19 Na loklam loe tuipui thungah oh, na caehhaih loklam loe kalen tuipuinawk thungah oh, na khok tangkannawk loe amtueng ai.
Through the sea led thy way, and thy path was through mighty waters, and thy footsteps could not be known.
20 Mosi hoi Aaron ih ban hoiah nangmah ih kaminawk to tuunawk baktiah na hoih.
Thou didst lead like a flock thy people by means of Moses and Aaron.
