Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Give ear, O my people, to my instruction; listen to the words of my mouth.
1Ka pilnam aw ka olkhueng he hnatun uh lah. Ka ka lamkah olthui dongah na hna hooi uh lah.
2I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the beginning,
2Hlamat lamkah olkael te ka ka dongkah neh ka ong vetih ka thaa dae ni.
3that we have heard and known and our fathers have relayed to us.
3Tekah te n'yaak uh tih m'ming uh vanbangl a a pa rhoek loh mamih taengah han thui uh.
4We will not hide them from their children, but will declare to the next generation the praises of the LORD and His might, and the wonders He has performed.
4BOEIPA koehnah, a tlungalnah neh khobaerhambae a saii te, aka thui rhoek loh a ca rhoek lamkah hmailong cadilcahma taengah khaw phah uh boel sih.
5For He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers to teach to their children,
5Jakob ham laipainah a khueng tih Israel dongah olkhueng la a ling te ni a ca rhoek taengah patoeng ming sak ham a pa rhoek a uen.
6that the coming generation would know them— even children yet to be born— to arise and tell their own children
6Te daengah ni caldilcahma loh a ming uh eh. Hmailong ah a cun camoe rhoek long khaw a thoh uh puei vetih a ca rhoek taengah a tae pa eh.
7that they should put their confidence in God, not forgetting His works, but keeping His commandments.
7Te vaengah a uepnah khaw Pathen pum ah a khueh uh vetih Pathen kah khoboe te hnilh uh mah pawh. A olpaek khaw a kueinah uh.
8Then they will not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose heart was not loyal, whose spirit was not faithful to God.
8A napa rhoek bangla thinthah neh hlang koek cadil, a lungbuei aka cikngae pawt tih a mueihla loh Pathen aka tangnah mueh cadil la om uh pawt sue.
9The archers of Ephraim turned back on the day of battle.
9Liv a aka muk tih aka kaap Ephraim ca rhoek khaw caemrhal tue vaengah a hnuk la bung uh.
10They failed to keep God’s covenant and refused to live by His law.
10Pathen kah paipi te ngaithuen uh pawt tih a olkhueng neh pongpa ham khaw a aal uh.
11They forgot what He had done, the wonders He had shown them.
11Te dongah amah kah bibi neh khobaerhambae amih a tueng te a hnilh uh.
12He worked wonders before their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.
12Egypt kho Zoan hmuen kah a napa rhoek mikhmuh ah khobaerhambae a saii pah.
13He split the sea and brought them through; He set the waters upright like a wall.
13Tuitunli te a phih pah tih amih a kat puei vaengah tui khaw som bangla pai.
14He led them with a cloud by day and with a light of fire all night.
14Te phoeiah amih te khothaih ah cingmai neh khoyin puet te hmai vang neh a mawt.
15He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as abundant as the seas.
15Khosoek ah lungpang rhoek te a hep pah tih tuidung bangla muep a tul.
16He brought streams from the stone and made water flow down like rivers.
16Thaelpang khuikah tuicip a thoeng sak tih tuiva tui bangla a hlawn.
17But they continued to sin against Him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High.
17Tedae rhamrhae ah Khohni te a koek uh tih a taengah tholh ham koep a koei uh.
18They willfully tested God by demanding the food they craved.
18Amih kah hinglu dongah caak a hoe uh te khaw a thinko neh Pathen ni a noemcai uh.
19They spoke against God, saying, “Can God really prepare a table in the wilderness?
19Pathen taengah khaw, “Khosoek khuiah caboei phaih ham Pathen te coeng thai aya?
20When He struck the rock, water gushed out and torrents raged. But can He also give bread or supply His people with meat?”
20Lungpang a boh tih tui a phuet vaengah soklong la long coeng ke. A pilnam ham buh khaw a paek thai vetih maeh a tael pah venim?,” a ti uh tih a thui uh.
21Therefore the LORD heard and was filled with wrath; so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and His anger flared against Israel,
21BOEIPA loh a yaak vaengah a paan tih Jakob te hmai neh a kolh. Israel taengah khaw thintoek a khuen bal.
22because they did not believe God or rely on His salvation.
22Pathen te tangnah uh pawt tih Boeipa kah khangnah dongah a pangtung uh pawt dongah ni.
23Yet He commanded the clouds above and opened the doors of the heavens.
23Tedae a sokah khomong te a uen tih vaan thohkhaih rhoi te a ong.
24He rained down manna for them to eat; He gave them grain from heaven.
24Te dongah amih kah a cak ham manna a tlan sak tih amih te vaan cangpai a paek.
25Man ate the bread of angels; He sent them food in abundance.
25Hlang loh rhaelnu buh a caak tih lampu khaw amih ham kodam la a thak pah.
26He stirred the east wind from the heavens and drove the south wind by His might.
26Vaan lamkah kanghawn a hlah tih a sarhi neh tuithim yilh khaw a thawn.
27He rained meat on them like dust, and winged birds like the sand of the sea.
27Te dongah maeh loh laipi bangla, vaa mul long khaw tuitunli kah laivin bangla amih soah tlan tih,
28He felled them in the midst of their camp, all around their dwellings.
28a dap kaepvai kah a lambong lakli ah a hlak pah.
29So they ate and were well filled, for He gave them what they craved.
29Te dongah a caak uh tih muep cung uh. Amih kah ngaihlihnah vanbangla amih te a paek.
30Yet before they had filled their desire, with the food still in their mouths,
30A ka dongah caak a paem uh pueng akhaw amamih kah hoehhamnah te kholong uh tak pawh.
31God’s anger flared against them, and He put to death their strongest and subdued the young men of Israel.
31Te dongah Pathen thintoek amih taengla pai. Te vaengah amih khuikah thaomthathueng rhoek te a ngawn tih Israel cadongcaloe rhoek te a tulh.
32In spite of all this, they kept on sinning; despite His wonderful works, they did not believe.
32Te boeih khui lamkah tholh uh bal pueng tih Boeipa kah khobaerhambae te tangnah uh pawh.
33So He ended their days in futility, and their years in sudden terror.
33Te dongah amih kah khohnin loh a honghi la, a kum khaw lungmitnah neh thok.
34When He slew them, they would seek Him; they repented and searched for God.
34Amih te a ngawn van daengah ni Boeipa te a tlap uh. Mael uh tih Pathen a toem uh.
35And they remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their Redeemer.
35Te daengah amih kah lungpang Pathen neh amih aka tlan Khohni Pathen te a ngaidam uh.
36But they deceived Him with their mouths, and lied to Him with their tongues.
36Tedae amah te a ka neh a hloih uh tih a lai neh a taengah laithae uh.
37Their hearts were disloyal to Him, and they were unfaithful to His covenant.
37Amih kah lungbuei te khaw Boeipa taengah hong pawt tih a paipi te tangnah uh pawh.
38And yet He was compassionate; He forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. He often restrained His anger and did not unleash His full wrath.
38A thinphoei lothaesainah khaw a dawth tih amih te phae pawh. Te dongah a thintoek khaw puet a hnop tih a kosi khaw boeih sah pawh.
39He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.
39Amih te pumsa lah om tih yilh loh a khum phoeiah ha mael pawt te khaw a poek.
40How often they disobeyed Him in the wilderness and grieved Him in the desert!
40Khosoek ah Boeipa mat a koek uh vanbangla khopong ah Boeipa te a noih uh.
41Again and again they tested God and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
41Te dongah Pathen te koekthoek a noemcai uh tih Israel kah hlang Cim te a phen uh.
42They did not remember His power — the day He redeemed them from the adversary,
42Rhal khui lamkah Boeipa kut loh amih a lat khohnin te poek uh pawh.
43when He performed His signs in Egypt and His wonders in the fields of Zoan.
43Amah kah miknoek te Egypt ah, kopoekrhai hno khaw Zoan hmuen ah a tueng sak.
44He turned their rivers to blood, and from their streams they could not drink.
44A sokko khaw thii la a poeh sak tih tuicip kangna khaw o uh thai pawh.
45He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs that devastated them.
45Amih aka yok ham pil neh amih aka phae ham bukak khaw a hlah pah.
46He gave their crops to the grasshopper, the fruit of their labor to the locust.
46A cangthaih te phol taengla, a thaphu khaw kaisih taengla a paek pah.
47He killed their vines with hailstones and their sycamore-figs with sleet.
47Amih kah misur te rhael neh, a thaihae khaw tlansing neh a ngawn pah.
48He abandoned their cattle to the hail and their livestock to bolts of lightning.
48A rhamsa te rhael taengla, a boiva khaw rhaekhmai taengla a uup pah.
49He unleashed His fury against them, wrath, indignation, and calamity— a band of destroying angels.
49A thintoek thinsa kah a thinpom khaw, yoethae puencawn rhoi at kah kosi neh citcai te khaw amih taengah a sah.
50He cleared a path for His anger; He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague.
50A thintoek ham a hawn a saelh coeng. Amih kah hinglu te dueknah lamkah khaw hnaih pawh. Te dongah a hingnah te duektahaw taengla a paek pah.
51He struck all the firstborn of Egypt, the virility in the tents of Ham.
51Egypt kah caming boeih neh Ham dap kah thahuem tanglue te a ngawn pah.
52He led out His people like sheep and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.
52Tedae a pilnam te boiva bangla a khuen tih khosoek khuiah tuping bangla a hmaithawn.
53He led them safely, so they did not fear, but the sea engulfed their enemies.
53Amih te ngaikhuek la a mawt tih rhih uh pawt dae a thunkha rhoek te tuitunli loh a khuk.
54He brought them to His holy land, to the mountain His right hand had acquired.
54Te dongah amah kah bantang kut neh a men tlang cim khorhi la amih te a khuen.
55He drove out nations before them and apportioned their inheritance; He settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
55Namtom rhoek te amih hmai lamkah a haek pah tih rho la rhilong te a suem pah. Te dongah Israel koca loh amih kah dap ah kho a sak uh.
56But they tested and disobeyed God Most High, for they did not keep His decrees.
56Tedae Khohni Pathen te a noemcai uh tih a koek uh, a olphong khaw khoem uh pawh.
57They turned back and were faithless like their fathers, twisted like a faulty bow.
57A napa rhoek bangla balkhong uh tih hnukpoh uh. Lii a pawl la poeh uh.
58They enraged Him with their high places and provoked His jealousy with their idols.
58A hmuensang neh Boeipa a veet uh tih a mueidaep neh a thatlai sak uh.
59On hearing it, God was furious and rejected Israel completely.
59Pathen loh a yaak vaengah lungoe tih Israel te rhep a hnawt.
60He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent He had pitched among men.
60Te dongah Shiloh pohmuen neh hlang lakli kah a khueh dap te a phap sut.
61He delivered His strength to captivity, and His splendor to the hand of the adversary.
61A sarhi te tamna la, a thangpomnah khaw rhal kut khuila a paek pah.
62He surrendered His people to the sword because He was enraged by His heritage.
62A pilnam te cunghang taengla a tloeng tih a rho taengah khaw lungoe.
63Fire consumed His young men, and their maidens were left without wedding songs.
63Tongpang rhoek te hmai loh a hlawp dongah oila rhoek thangthen uh pawh.
64His priests fell by the sword, but their widows could not lament.
64A khosoih rhoek te cunghang dongah cungku uh tih a nuhmai rhoek khaw rhap uh pawh.
65Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a mighty warrior overcome by wine.
65Te vaengah Boeipa loh aka ip muelh bangla, misurtui neh aka tamhoe hlangrhalh bangla haenghang.
66He beat back His foes; He put them to everlasting shame.
66A rhal rhoek te tloep a tloek tih amih te kumhal kokhahnah la a khueh.
67He rejected the tent of Joseph and refused the tribe of Ephraim.
67Joseph kah dap khaw a hnawt tih Ephraim kah mancai te a tuek tloe moenih.
68But He chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loved.
68Tedae a lungnah Zion tlang kah Judah mancai te a tuek.
69He built His sanctuary like the heights, like the earth He has established forever.
69Te dongah a rhokso te a sang la a sak tih kumhal due diklai bangla a suen.
70He chose David His servant and took him from the sheepfolds;
70A sal David te a tuek dongah boiva vongup lamkah a loh.
71from tending the ewes He brought him to be shepherd of His people Jacob, of Israel His inheritance.
71A pilnam Jakob neh a rho Israel te luem puei ham ni anih te cacun hnuk lamkah a khuen.
72So David shepherded them with integrity of heart and guided them with skillful hands.
72Te dongah a thinko neh amih te a luem puei tih, a kut kah a lungcuei neh a mawt.
