Psalms 44
1 God, we ourselves have heard what our parents and grandparents told us. They told us about the miracles that you performed long ago.
Aw Khawsa ka ming haa ing zahawh unyng; ka pakhqi ami hqing tloek awh ak kqym awh nang ing na sai peekkhqi ce kaimih a venawh kqawn hawh uhy.
2 [They told us] how you expelled the ungodly people and enabled us to live in their land. [They told us] that you punished those ungodly people and enabled your own people to prosper [IDM].
Na kut ing nang ngawh thlangphyn khqi thlak khqi pheng nawh ka pakhqi ce dyih sak hyk ti; thlangkhqi ce hqe nawh ka pakhqi ce kqeng sak hyk ti.
3 It was not by using their own swords that they conquered the people that lived in that land, and it was not by their own power that they were victorious; it was only by your power [MTY, DOU] [that they did those things]; and they were sure that you were with them, and that showed that you were pleased with them.
Zawzi ing cekkhqi a qam ce am noeng unawh, ami bantha ingawm am noeng uhy; nang ak tang ben, nang a baan, ak vang nang a haai ing ni, kawtih cekkhqi ce nang ing lungna hyk ti.
4 You are my King and my God; it is you who enable us, your people [MTY], to defeat our enemies.
Nang taw ka sangpahrang ingkaw ka Khawsa na awm hyk ti, Jacob aham na noengnaak awi ak pekung na awm hyk ti.
5 It is by your power that we knock our enemies down and tramp on them.
Namah ak caming kaimih ing ka qaalkhqi huna nawn sak unyng; namah ang ming ing ka qaalkhqi ce leh unyng.
6 I do not trust that I will be saved by using my bow [and arrows] and my sword.
Ka licung ve am ypna nyng saw, kak zawzi ingawm amni noeng sak hy;
7 No, it is you who have rescued us from our enemies, it is you who have caused those who hate us to become ashamed [because they were defeated].
Cehlai, ka qaalkhqik khan awh noengnaak ce ni pe nawh, ka thunkhakhqi ce chah phyih sak hyk ti.
8 We have continually boasted about what God [has done for us], and we will thank him [MTY] forever.
Myngawi Khawsa awh oek qu kang nyng saw, nang ming ce kumqui dyna kyihcah kawng unyng.
9 But [now] you have rejected us and caused us to be disgraced; when our armies march out [to fight a battle], you no [longer] go with them.
Cehlai tuh taw ni qoek nawh ak kai dyt na ni ta hawh hyk ti; ka qaalkapkhqi ingawm am cet haih voel hyk ti.
10 You have caused us to run away from our enemies, with the result that they captured the things that belonged to us.
Ka qaal a haiawh hu na ning thoeih sak nawh, ka thunkhakhqi ing ni him khqi pheng hy.
11 You have allowed us to become like [MET] sheep that were ready to be slaughtered; you scattered us [far away] among [other].
Tuu amyihna daih aham ni hlah hyt tiksaw pilnam thlang venawh ni thek ni zak hyk ti.
12 [It is as though] [MET] you sold us, your people, [to our enemies] for a very small price, and you did not gain much profit from selling us!
Nak thlangkhqi ce a phu ak zawi cana zawi hlai hyk ti, zawih phu awm am awm lawk a he hy.
13 People who live in nations near us make fun of us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.
Ka imcengkhqi am theet hly hqoeng na ni sai tiksaw, ka keng thlangkhqi a thekha qaihnaak ni phyih sak hyk ti.
14 They make jokes using the name of [our country], they shake their heads [to indicate that they despise us].
Pilnam anglakawh thlang ak kqawn hly kqoeng na ni sai tiksaw; thlang ing a lu nik kqek sih hy.
15 All day I feel disgraced; from seeing my face, people know that I am ashamed.
Na haiawh myngawi kang ming se nawh, ka haai ve chahnaak ing sing khoep hy,
16 I hear what those who sneer at me and revile me say; I am ashamed in front of my enemies and those who want to harm me.
ak che na nik kqawn seet nawh, lu lawh aham ak caika qaalkhqi a dawngawh ni.
17 All these things have happened to us [even] though we have not forgotten you, and we are not the ones who disobeyed the agreement you made with [our ancestors].
Nang ce am nim hilh unyng saw na paipi awm a sawhqat na am sai thai unyng; vemyihkhqi boeih ve kaimih a venawh pha law hy.
18 We have not stopped being loyal to you, and we have not stopped doing what you want us to do [IDM].
Kamik kawlungkhqi huna am thoeih nawh; kami khawkhqi awm na lam awhkawng am pleng hy.
19 But [it is as though] you have allowed us to be helpless among wild animals, and abandoned us in a deep dark [ravine].
Cehlai kqawng uikhqi a hqip thek thyk aham nang ing ni nam qap nawh thannaak ing ni sing khoep hyk ti.
20 If we had forgotten to worship [MTY] our God, or if we had spread out our hands to [worship] a foreign god,
Ka Khawsa ang ming ce hilh unawh qapchang khawsa a venawh kut kami phyl mantaw,
21 you certainly would have known that, because you know [even] what we secretly think.
kawlung ak hyp zani ak simkung, Khawsa ing am hu kawm nu?
22 But it is because we belong to you, [that our enemies] are constantly killing us. They act toward us as though we were only sheep to be slaughtered.
Cehlai, nang awh myngawi thihnaak hu unyng; him ham kawina ak awm tuu amyihna ning ngai uhy.
23 [So], Yahweh, arise! Why are you asleep [RHQ]? Get up! Do not reject us forever!
Aw Bawipa, hqyng lah! Ikawtih, na ih hy voei? Kqoek qu lah! Kaimih ve kumqui dyna koeh ni hqek khqi.
24 Why are you not looking at us? Why are you forgetting that we are suffering and being oppressed [by our enemies]?
Ikawtih, na haai thuh nawh kaimih a kyinaak ingkaw khuikhanaak ve nam hilh hy voei?
25 We are pushed down to the ground and we cannot get up.
Dekvai awh nung tla unawh; dek awh kami pum ve bet qu qap hawh hy.
26 Arise, and come and help us! Rescue us because you faithfully love us!
Tho nawhtaw kaimih ve nik pyi khqi lah; amak dyt thai na lungnaak awh kaimih ve ni hul khqi lah.
