Psalms 74
1 An Instructive Psalm. Asaph’s. Wherefore, O God, hast thou cast off utterly? Shall thine anger smoke against the flock of thine own pasturing?
Asaph kah Hlohlai Pathen aw ba aih. nim yoeyah la na hlahpham aih? Na thintoek loh na rhamtlim kah boiva taengah mawngmawng khuu.
2 Remember thine own assembly thou didst acquire aforetime, Thou didst redeem the tribe of thine own inheritance, Mount Zion, wherein thou didst take up thy habitation.
Hlamat kah na lai na hlangboel khaw, na rho la na tlan koca khaw, kho na sak thil Zion tlang te khaw poek lah.
3 Lift up thy steps unto the places utterly unsafe, All the mischief!—the foe in the sanctuary!
Hmuen cim khuikah thunkha rhoek te yoeyah pocinah neh boeih talh ham na khokan te pomsang lah.
4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine appointed meeting, They have set their ensigns as tokens!
Nang kah tingtunnah khui ah nang aka daengdaeh rhoek te kawk uh tih miknoek khaw amamih kah miknoek te a khueh uh.
5 One used to be known according as he carried up high—into the thicket of trees—the axes;
Thing ding ah a so la hai aka thueng bangla tueng.
6 But, now, the doors thereof all together, with axes and hammers, they batter down.
Tedae hai neh a thuk a thingthuk boeih khaw thilung neh nawn a phop uh.
7 They have cast, into the fire, thy sanctuary, To the ground, have they profaned the habitation of thy Name.
Na rhokso te hmai neh a hoeh uh tih na ming aka phuei tolhmuen te diklai duela a poeih uh.
8 They have said in their heart, Let us suppress them altogether, They have burned up all the meeting-places of GOD in the land.
A lungbuei nen tah, “Rhenten m'phae coeng,” a ti uh tih, diklai ah Pathen kah tingtunnah boeih te a hoeh uh.
9 Our own signs, have we not seen, —There is no longer a prophet, —Neither is there with us, one who knoweth—How long!
Mahmih kah miknoek khaw m'hmu uh pawh. Tonghm a om voelpawt tih mamih khuiah aka ming thai he mevaeng hil nim a om pawt ve?
10 How long, O God, shall the adversary, reproach? Shall the enemy revile thy Name perpetually?
Pathen tah me hil nim rhal loh a veet vetih thunkha loh na ming he a yoeyah la a tlaitlaek ve?
11 Wherefore shouldst thou withdraw thy hand—thy right hand? [Bring it] out of the midst of thy bosom! (Selah)
Balae tih na kut na yueh. Na rhang kah na oltlueh khui lamloh na bantang kut neh khap kanoek saw.
12 But, God, hath been my king from aforetime, Working Deliverances in the midst of the earth.
Tedae Pathen he hlamat lamkah diklai tollung ah khangnah aka saii ka manghai pai ni.
13 Thou, didst cleave asunder, in thy might, the sea, Thou didst break in pieces the heads of the Crocodiles, [till they floated] on the waters;
Namah loh tuitunli te na sarhi neh na kak sak tih tui tuihnam rhoek kah a lu te na phop pah.
14 Thou, didst crush the heads of the Sea-Monster, Thou didst give him to be food, for the people of the deserts;
Nang loh Leviathan kah a lu te na neet tih kohong ham neh pilnam ham caak la na paek.
15 Thou, didst cleave open fountain and torrent, Thou, didst dry up rivers of steady flow:
Namah loh tuisih soklong khaw na hep tih tuiva puei khaw na haang sak.
16 Thine, is the day, Yea, thine, the night, Thou, didst establish moon and sun;
Khothaih khaw namah kah, khoyin khaw namah kah, vangnah neh khomik khaw namah loh na soep na boe.
17 Thou, didst set up all the bounds of the earth, As for summer and winter, thou, didst form them!
Namah loh diklai kah rhilung boeih na suem tih khohal neh sikca khaw namah loh na hlinsai.
18 Remember this, An enemy, hath reproached Yahweh, Yea, an impious people, have reviled thy Name.
BOEIPA aka veet thunkha neh na ming yah aka bai pilnam ang he poek lah.
19 Do not deliver up, to a wild beast, the life of thy turtle-dove, The living host of thine oppressed ones, do not forget perpetually.
Na vahui kah a hinglu te satlung taengla na pae pawt tih na mangdaeng rhoek kah a hingnah khaw a yoeyah la na hnilh moenih.
20 Have respect to thy covenant, For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
Kuthlahnah rhamtlim te diklai khohmuep khuiah a baetawt dongah paipi te paelki laeh.
21 May the crushed one not again be confounded, As for the oppressed and the needy, let them praise thy Name.
Mangdaeng hmaithae khaw hlanghnaep pahnap la mael boel saeh lamtah na ming te khodaeng rhoek loh thangthen uh saeh.
22 Arise! O God, plead thine own cause, Remember the reproach of thee, from the impious one, all the day:
Pathen aw thoo laeh. Namah kah tuituknah khaw oelh van laeh. Hlang ang loh hnin takuem nang n'kokhahnah ke thoelh laeh.
23 Do not forget the voice of thine adversaries, The noise of thine assailants, ascending continually.
Nang aka daengdaeh rhoek kah ol te na hnilh moenih. Nang aka tlai thil rhoek kah longlonah tah cet yoeyah.
