Psalms 81
1 For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. By Asaph. Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. Gittih ah sak koi Asaph ih Saam laa. Aicae thacakhaih Sithaw khaeah hanghaih hoiah laa to sah oh; Jakob Sithaw khaeah anghoehaih hoiah hang oh.
2 Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.
Lok kamding katoeng tamoi to sin oh, cingceng to bop oh loe, laa hoiah pakoeh oh.
3 Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.
Khrah tarae moe, khrah amdueng nathuem ih poihkung ah, mongkah to ueng oh.
4 For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
Hae loe Jakob Sithaw zaehhoihaih lok, Israel han paek ih thuitaekhaih lok ah oh.
5 He appointed it in Joseph for a covenant, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I did not know.
Ka thaikop ai ih lok ka thaihaih, Izip prae hoiah a caeh naah, Joseph hanah to baktih lokthuihaih to a sak pae.
6 “I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.
Anih palaeng nui ih kazit hmuen to ka takhoe pae moe, benthang thung hoiah a ban to ka zuh pae.
7 You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah.” (Selah)
Raihaih na tongh naah, kang loisak; kamtueng ai khopazihaih ahmuen hoiah kang pathim; Meribah tuinawk nuiah nang to kang tanoek. (Selah)
8 “Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!
Aw kai ih kaminawk tahngai oh, lok kang thuih o han; Aw Israel, ka lok hae na tahngai o nahaeloe!
9 There shall be no strange god in you, neither shall you worship any foreign god.
Nangcae khaeah kalah sithaw om mak ai; sithaw kalah doeh na bok o mak ai.
10 I am the LORD, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Kai loe Izip prae hoiah nangcae zaehoikung, Angraeng na Sithaw ah ka oh; pakha to kakawk ah aang oh, pakha koimongah kang paek o han.
11 But my people did not listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.
Toe kai ih kaminawk loe ka lok tahngai o mak ai; Israel loe kai khaeah amha mak ai.
12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.
To pongah angmacae palungthahhaih baktih toengah ka prawt sut; nihcae loe angmacae koehhaih baktiah caeh o.
13 Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
Kai ih kami mah ka lok tahngaih o moe, Israel mah ka loklam to pazui nahaeloe!
14 I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
Nihcae ih misanawk to karangah ka kuepsak moe, a misanawk bangah ka ban ka paqoi han.
15 The haters of the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
Angraeng hnuma kaminawk loe angmacae koeh ah anih hmaa ah akuep o tih, nihcae danpaekhaih loe dungzan khoek to om tih boeh.
16 But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
Anih mah kakhraem koek buh hoiah nihcae to pacah ueloe, cathaeng thung ih khoitui hoiah na zok kam hahsak han, tiah a thuih.
