Psalms 97
1 The Lord is King, let the earth have joy; let all the sea-lands be glad.
Kasakkung: panuekhoeh BAWIPA ni a uk, talai lunghawi seh. Tuilumnaw hai lunghawi awh naseh.
2 Dark clouds are round him; his kingdom is based on righteousness and right judging.
Tâmai hoi hmonae ni a ramuk teh, lannae hoi kângingnae teh a bawitungkhung a kamtuenae doeh.
3 Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.
A hmalah hmai a cei teh, ka kalup e tarannaw teh a kak awh.
4 His bright flames give light to the world; the earth saw it with fear.
Sumpapalik ni talai a ang sak teh, talai ni a hmu toteh a pâyaw.
5 The mountains became like wax at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the Lord of all the earth.
Monnaw pueng teh BAWIPA hmalah, talai van pueng teh Bawipa hmalah khoilai patetlah koung a kamyawt.
6 The heavens gave out the news of his righteousness, and all the people saw his glory.
Kalvan ni a lannae hah a pâpho teh, tami pueng ni a bawilennae hah a hmu awh.
7 Shamed be all those who give worship to images, and take pride in false gods; give him worship, all you gods.
Meikaphawk thaw ka tawk e pueng, ayawmyin dawk kakâoupnaw pueng teh, kaya laihoi awm awh naseh, cathutnaw pueng ama teh bawk awh haw.
8 Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Oe BAWIPA nange lawkcengnae dawkvah, Zion a lunghawi teh Judah canunaw hai a konawm awh.
9 For you, Lord, are most high over the earth; you are lifted up over all other gods.
Oe BAWIPA, nang teh talai van pueng hlak a lathueng poung lah na o. Cathut pueng lathueng vah tawm lah na o.
10 You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.
Nangmouh Cathut lungpataw naw, kathoute hah panuet awh nateh, ama ni a tamikathoungnaw e hringnae hah a khetyawt teh, tamikathoutnaw e kut dawk hoi a rungngang.
11 Light is shining on the lovers of righteousness, and for the upright in heart there is joy.
Tamikalannaw koe a ang teh lungthin kalannaw koe konawmnae teh ouk a pha.
12 Be glad in the Lord, you upright men; praising the memory of his holy name.
Nangmouh tami kalannaw, BAWIPA koe konawm awh haw. A min kathoung hah pholen awh.
