Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Aw kai ih kaminawk, kang patuk ih kaalok ah naa to patueng oh loe, ka pakha hoi tacawt loknawk hae tahngai oh.
1Give ear, O my people, to my instruction; listen to the words of my mouth.
2Patahhaih hoiah pakha to ka paongh moe, canghnii ah thuih ih kathuk loknawk to kang thuih o han,
2I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the beginning,
3to loknawk loe aicae ampanawk mah aicae khaeah thuih o boeh, aicae mah a thaih o moe, a panoek o boeh.
3that we have heard and known and our fathers have relayed to us.
4Nihcae ih caanawk khaeah kang phat pae o mak ai; Angraeng saphawhaih, a thacakhaih, a sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk loe, angzo han koi adung kaminawk khaeah amtuengsak tih.
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.
5Jakob acaeng hanah lok a paek, Israel caanawk khaeah kaalok to a caksak, anih mah aicae ampanawk khaeah, na caanawk han patuk o patoeng ah:
5For He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers to teach to their children,
6angzo han koi nawktanawk hoi tapen han koi nawktanawk mah doeh panoek o moe, a caanawk khaeah thuih pae o patoeng hanah,
6that the coming generation would know them— even children yet to be born— to arise and tell their own children
7Sithaw to oep o moe, Sithaw mah sak ih hmuennawk to pahnet ai ah, a paek ih loknawk to pazui o hanah, lokthui pae ah:
7that they should put their confidence in God, not forgetting His works, but keeping His commandments.
8nihcae loe palung thah o moe, laisaep o thaih, poek toeng ai kami, Sithaw oephaih muithla tawn ai, ampanawk baktiah om o ai.
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.
9Ephraim caanawk loe kalii avak o moe, misa to tuk o, toe hnukbangah amlaem o let.
9The archers of Ephraim turned back on the day of battle.
10Nihcae loe Sithaw lokmaihaih to pakuem o ai, anih mah paek ih kaalok to pazui han koeh o ai.
10They failed to keep God’s covenant and refused to live by His law.
11Nihcae loe anih mah sak ih toknawk hoi nihcae khaeah amtuengsak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to pahnet o.
11They forgot what He had done, the wonders He had shown them.
12Izip prae, Zoan ah ampanawk hmaa ah anih mah dawnrai hmuennawk to sak pae.
12He worked wonders before their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.
13Anih mah tuipui to pakhoih moe, tui to angkatsak; tuinawk to tapang baktiah angdoetsak.
13He split the sea and brought them through; He set the waters upright like a wall.
14Khodai ah tamai hoiah a zaeh, khoving ah aqum puek hmaithaw hoiah a hoih.
14He led them with a cloud by day and with a light of fire all night.
15Praezaek ah lungsongnawk to boh moe, tuipui baktiah pop parai tui to nihcae hanah a paek.
15He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as abundant as the seas.
16Thlung thung hoiah tui to tacawtsak moe, tuinawk to vapui baktiah a longsak.
16He brought streams from the stone and made water flow down like rivers.
17Toe nihcae loe anih nuiah zaehaih to sak o aep, Kasang koek to praezaek ah laisaep o thuih vop.
17But they continued to sin against Him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High.
18Angmacae zok kamthlam dipsak han ih khue ni Sithaw to tanoek o.
18They willfully tested God by demanding the food they craved.
19Ue, nihcae loe Sithaw aekhaih lok to thuih o; praezaek ah Sithaw mah caboi na baih pae tang tih maw? tiah a thuih o.
19They spoke against God, saying, “Can God really prepare a table in the wilderness?
20Khenah, thlung a boh naah, tui to tacawt moe, pop parai vacong tui ah longh; takaw doeh na paek thai tih maw? Angmah ih kaminawk hanah moi doeh paek thai tih maw? tiah a thuih o.
20When He struck the rock, water gushed out and torrents raged. But can He also give bread or supply His people with meat?”
21Angraeng mah to lok to thaih naah, palungphui; Jakob acaengnawk to hmai mah kangh moe, Israel caanawk nuiah palungphuihaih to phak,
21Therefore the LORD heard and was filled with wrath; so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and His anger flared against Israel,
22tipongah tih nahaeloe nihcae loe Sithaw tang o ai, anih ih pahlonghaih ah doeh oephaih to tawn o ai.
22because they did not believe God or rely on His salvation.
23Toe anih mah ranui ih tamai to lokpaek moe, van thoknawk to amongh,
23Yet He commanded the clouds above and opened the doors of the heavens.
24caak hanah nihcae nuiah manna kho to angzoh pae; nihcae hanah van takaw to a paek.
24He rained down manna for them to eat; He gave them grain from heaven.
25Kaminawk loe vankaminawk ih buh to caak o; nihcae zok amhah hanah caaknaek to a paek.
25Man ate the bread of angels; He sent them food in abundance.
26Ni angyae bang ih takhi to van ah a songsak moe, a thacakhaih hoiah aloih bang ih takhi to a songsak.
26He stirred the east wind from the heavens and drove the south wind by His might.
27Maiphu baktiah moi to kho ah angzohsak, tuipui taeng ih savuet baktiah tavaanawk to azawksak.
27He rained meat on them like dust, and winged birds like the sand of the sea.
28A sak o ih im salak hoi nihcae ataihaih ahmuen taengah a kraksak.
28He felled them in the midst of their camp, all around their dwellings.
29Nihcae koeh ih baktiah anih mah paek pongah, nihcae loe caak o moe, zok amhah o.
29So they ate and were well filled, for He gave them what they craved.
30A koeh o ih buhcaakhaih to angkhoe o ai vop, buh a caak o li naah,
30Yet before they had filled their desire, with the food still in their mouths,
31Sithaw palungphuihaih to nihcae nuiah phak, nihcae thungah kathawk koek kami to anih mah hum pae ving; a qoih o ih Israel thendoengnawk to dueksak.
31God’s anger flared against them, and He put to death their strongest and subdued the young men of Israel.
32Hae baktih hmuennawk boih a tongh o, toe anih mah sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to tang o ai, zaehaih to a sak o toeng toeng vop.
32In spite of all this, they kept on sinning; despite His wonderful works, they did not believe.
33To pongah nihcae ih ani to azom pui ah laemsak moe, saningnawk to raihaih hoiah boengsak.
33So He ended their days in futility, and their years in sudden terror.
34Sithaw mah nihcae to hum naah, kalah kaminawk loe amlaem o let moe, Sithaw to palung tang hoiah pakrong o.
34When He slew them, they would seek Him; they repented and searched for God.
35Sithaw loe angmacae ih lungsong, Kasang koek loe angmacae pahlongkung ah oh, tiah nihcae mah panoek o.
35And they remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their Redeemer.
36Toe pakha hoiah ni anih to pakoeh o, anih khaeah palai hoi amsawnlok to a thuih o.
36But they deceived Him with their mouths, and lied to Him with their tongues.
37Anih khaeah poek toenghaih tawn o ai, a sak o ih lokkamhaih nuiah doeh oephaih tawn o ai.
37Their hearts were disloyal to Him, and they were unfaithful to His covenant.
38Toe anih loe tahmenhaih hoiah koi pongah, nihcae zaehaih to tahmen pae, nihcae to amrosak ai: ue, pop parai palungphuihaih to anih mah pauep, palung a phuihaih to amtuengsak ai.
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.
39Sithaw mah nihcae loe taksa ah ni oh o, kalaem tangcae amlaem let thai ai takhi ah ni oh o, tiah panoek.
39He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.
40Anih to praezaek ah vai nazetto maw laisaep o thuih moe, taw ah nazetto maw palungset o sak?
40How often they disobeyed Him in the wilderness and grieved Him in the desert!
41Ue, nihcae loe hnukbangah amlaem o moe, Sithaw to tanoek o, Israel Ciimcai Kami to palungphui o sak.
41Again and again they tested God and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
42Anih thacakhaih to nihcae mah panoek o ai, anih mah misa ban thung hoi pahlonghaih to panoek o ai.
42They did not remember His power — the day He redeemed them from the adversary,
43Izip prae ah sak ih angmathaih, Zoan ah sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk;
43when He performed His signs in Egypt and His wonders in the fields of Zoan.
44nihcae mah tui naek o thaih han ai ah, vapuinawk hoi vacongnawk to athii ah angcoengsak.
44He turned their rivers to blood, and from their streams they could not drink.
45Nihcae kaek hanah taksaenawk to prawt pae moe, nihcae amrosak hanah ukongnawk to patoeh.
45He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs that devastated them.
46Nihcae ih thingthai qumponawk loe langkawk hanah paek moe, nihcae ih hmuennawk doeh pakhu hanah a paek.
46He gave their crops to the grasshopper, the fruit of their labor to the locust.
47Nihcae ih misurkungnawk to qaetui hoiah dueksak moe, thaiduetkungnawk doeh dantui hoiah dueksak.
47He killed their vines with hailstones and their sycamore-figs with sleet.
48Sithaw mah nihcae ih maitawnawk to qaetui hanah paek moe, tuunawk doeh hmai hanah paek pae.
48He abandoned their cattle to the hail and their livestock to bolts of lightning.
49Anih palungphuihaih tha hoiah nihcae khaeah kasae vankaminawk to patoeh moe, palungbethaih, palung hmai amngaehhaih hoi raihaihnawk to ohsak.
49He unleashed His fury against them, wrath, indignation, and calamity— a band of destroying angels.
50Palungphuihaih loklam to a sak; nihcae ih pakhra paduek hanah paawt ai, nihcae hinghaih to nathaih kasae khaeah a paek.
50He cleared a path for His anger; He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague.
51Izip prae ah calunawk boih, Ham ih kahni imthung ah kaom thacak tangsuekhaih calu koek to paduek pae boih.
51He struck all the firstborn of Egypt, the virility in the tents of Ham.
52Toe angmah ih kaminawk loe tuu baktiah a huih moe, tuunawk baktiah praezaek ah a caeh haih.
52He led out His people like sheep and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.
53Misa ban thung hoi loih hanah anih mah zaeh pongah, nihcae loe zii o ai; toe nihcae ih misanawk loe tuipui mah khuk khoep.
53He led them safely, so they did not fear, but the sea engulfed their enemies.
54Nihcae to kaciim ahmuen angzithaih ramri khoek to, a bantang ban hoiah lak ih mae karoek to a caeh haih.
54He brought them to His holy land, to the mountain His right hand had acquired.
55Nihcae hmaa ah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk to a haek pae, qawk ah toep ih long to tah o moe, amzet o, Israel caanawk loe imsak o moe, to ah oh o.
55He drove out nations before them and apportioned their inheritance; He settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
56Toe nihcae mah Kasang koek Sithaw to tanoek o moe, laisaep o thuih, a thuih ih lok to tahngai o ai.
56But they tested and disobeyed God Most High, for they did not keep His decrees.
57Nihcae loe ampanawk baktiah oep om o ai, hnukbangah angnawn o; oepthok ai palaa baktiah lam amkhraeng o.
57They turned back and were faithless like their fathers, twisted like a faulty bow.
58Nihcae mah kasang ahmuennawk hoiah anih to palungphui o sak moe, sakcop ih krangnawk hoiah uthaih palung to tacawt o sak.
58They enraged Him with their high places and provoked His jealousy with their idols.
59Sithaw mah thaih naah, palungphui moe, Israel caanawk to paroeai panuet,
59On hearing it, God was furious and rejected Israel completely.
60kaminawk salakah kaom, Shiloh ih kahni im doeh a caeh taak,
60He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent He had pitched among men.
61a thacakhaih to tamna ah caehsak moe, a lensawkhaih to misa banah a paek.
61He delivered His strength to captivity, and His splendor to the hand of the adversary.
62Angmah ih kaminawk to sumsen hoi hum hanah a paek; a toep han ih qawk nuiah kating ai palungphui.
62He surrendered His people to the sword because He was enraged by His heritage.
63Nihcae ih thendoengnawk to hmai mah kangh pae; nihcae ih tanglanawk doeh sava sah o ai.
63Fire consumed His young men, and their maidens were left without wedding songs.
64Angmacae ih qaimanawk doeh sumsen hoiah duek o; lamhmainawk doeh qah o ai boeh.
64His priests fell by the sword, but their widows could not lament.
65To naah Angraeng loe iih kangthawk baktih, misurtui pongah kahang thacak kami baktiah angthawk.
65Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a mighty warrior overcome by wine.
66Angmah ih misanawk to a tuk moe, dungzan khoek to azatsak.
66He beat back His foes; He put them to everlasting shame.
67Joseph ih kahni im to a maak pae, Ephraim acaeng doeh qoi ai,
67He rejected the tent of Joseph and refused the tribe of Ephraim.
68toe Judah acaeng, angmah palung ih, Zion mae to anih mah qoih.
68But He chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loved.
69Angmah ih hmuenciim to hmuen sang baktiah a sak moe, dungzan khoek to caksak ih long baktih a ohsak.
69He built His sanctuary like the heights, like the earth He has established forever.
70A tamna David to qoih, tuu imthung hoiah anih to a lak;
70He chose David His servant and took him from the sheepfolds;
71angmah ih kami Jakob acaeng hoi angmah ih qawk ah kaom Israel acaeng to khetzawn hanah, caa kaom tuu amnonawk toephaih thung hoiah ni anih to qoih.
71from tending the ewes He brought him to be shepherd of His people Jacob, of Israel His inheritance.
72To pongah toenghaih palungthin hoiah nihcae to a khetzawn moe, palunghahaih ban hoiah nihcae to a hoih.
72So David shepherded them with integrity of heart and guided them with skillful hands.
