Saam 78
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
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 law: incline your ears 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 a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
3to loknawk loe aicae ampanawk mah aicae khaeah thuih o boeh, aicae mah a thaih o moe, a panoek o boeh.
3Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told 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, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD , and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
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, that they should make them known 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 generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their 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 might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep 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.
8And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
9Ephraim caanawk loe kalii avak o moe, misa to tuk o, toe hnukbangah amlaem o let.
9The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
10Nihcae loe Sithaw lokmaihaih to pakuem o ai, anih mah paek ih kaalok to pazui han koeh o ai.
10They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
11Nihcae loe anih mah sak ih toknawk hoi nihcae khaeah amtuengsak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to pahnet o.
11And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
12Izip prae, Zoan ah ampanawk hmaa ah anih mah dawnrai hmuennawk to sak pae.
12Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13Anih mah tuipui to pakhoih moe, tui to angkatsak; tuinawk to tapang baktiah angdoetsak.
13He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
14Khodai ah tamai hoiah a zaeh, khoving ah aqum puek hmaithaw hoiah a hoih.
14In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
15Praezaek ah lungsongnawk to boh moe, tuipui baktiah pop parai tui to nihcae hanah a paek.
15He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
16Thlung thung hoiah tui to tacawtsak moe, tuinawk to vapui baktiah a longsak.
16He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
17Toe nihcae loe anih nuiah zaehaih to sak o aep, Kasang koek to praezaek ah laisaep o thuih vop.
17And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
18Angmacae zok kamthlam dipsak han ih khue ni Sithaw to tanoek o.
18And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
19Ue, nihcae loe Sithaw aekhaih lok to thuih o; praezaek ah Sithaw mah caboi na baih pae tang tih maw? tiah a thuih o.
19Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish 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.
20Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
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 this , and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
22tipongah tih nahaeloe nihcae loe Sithaw tang o ai, anih ih pahlonghaih ah doeh oephaih to tawn o ai.
22Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
23Toe anih mah ranui ih tamai to lokpaek moe, van thoknawk to amongh,
23Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
24caak hanah nihcae nuiah manna kho to angzoh pae; nihcae hanah van takaw to a paek.
24And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
25Kaminawk loe vankaminawk ih buh to caak o; nihcae zok amhah hanah caaknaek to a paek.
25Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full.
26Ni angyae bang ih takhi to van ah a songsak moe, a thacakhaih hoiah aloih bang ih takhi to a songsak.
26He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
27Maiphu baktiah moi to kho ah angzohsak, tuipui taeng ih savuet baktiah tavaanawk to azawksak.
27He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
28A sak o ih im salak hoi nihcae ataihaih ahmuen taengah a kraksak.
28And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
29Nihcae koeh ih baktiah anih mah paek pongah, nihcae loe caak o moe, zok amhah o.
29So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
30A koeh o ih buhcaakhaih to angkhoe o ai vop, buh a caak o li naah,
30They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet 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.
31The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen 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.
32For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
33To pongah nihcae ih ani to azom pui ah laemsak moe, saningnawk to raihaih hoiah boengsak.
33Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
34Sithaw mah nihcae to hum naah, kalah kaminawk loe amlaem o let moe, Sithaw to palung tang hoiah pakrong o.
34When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after 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, and the high God their redeemer.
36Toe pakha hoiah ni anih to pakoeh o, anih khaeah palai hoi amsawnlok to a thuih o.
36Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
37Anih khaeah poek toenghaih tawn o ai, a sak o ih lokkamhaih nuiah doeh oephaih tawn o ai.
37For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in 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.
38But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
39Sithaw mah nihcae loe taksa ah ni oh o, kalaem tangcae amlaem let thai ai takhi ah ni oh o, tiah panoek.
39For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
40Anih to praezaek ah vai nazetto maw laisaep o thuih moe, taw ah nazetto maw palungset o sak?
40How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
41Ue, nihcae loe hnukbangah amlaem o moe, Sithaw to tanoek o, Israel Ciimcai Kami to palungphui o sak.
41Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited 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 remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
43Izip prae ah sak ih angmathaih, Zoan ah sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk;
43How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:
44nihcae mah tui naek o thaih han ai ah, vapuinawk hoi vacongnawk to athii ah angcoengsak.
44And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
45Nihcae kaek hanah taksaenawk to prawt pae moe, nihcae amrosak hanah ukongnawk to patoeh.
45He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
46Nihcae ih thingthai qumponawk loe langkawk hanah paek moe, nihcae ih hmuennawk doeh pakhu hanah a paek.
46He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
47Nihcae ih misurkungnawk to qaetui hoiah dueksak moe, thaiduetkungnawk doeh dantui hoiah dueksak.
47He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
48Sithaw mah nihcae ih maitawnawk to qaetui hanah paek moe, tuunawk doeh hmai hanah paek pae.
48He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
49Anih palungphuihaih tha hoiah nihcae khaeah kasae vankaminawk to patoeh moe, palungbethaih, palung hmai amngaehhaih hoi raihaihnawk to ohsak.
49He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them .
50Palungphuihaih loklam to a sak; nihcae ih pakhra paduek hanah paawt ai, nihcae hinghaih to nathaih kasae khaeah a paek.
50He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
51Izip prae ah calunawk boih, Ham ih kahni imthung ah kaom thacak tangsuekhaih calu koek to paduek pae boih.
51And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
52Toe angmah ih kaminawk loe tuu baktiah a huih moe, tuunawk baktiah praezaek ah a caeh haih.
52But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
53Misa ban thung hoi loih hanah anih mah zaeh pongah, nihcae loe zii o ai; toe nihcae ih misanawk loe tuipui mah khuk khoep.
53And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54Nihcae to kaciim ahmuen angzithaih ramri khoek to, a bantang ban hoiah lak ih mae karoek to a caeh haih.
54And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.
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 cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
56Toe nihcae mah Kasang koek Sithaw to tanoek o moe, laisaep o thuih, a thuih ih lok to tahngai o ai.
56Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
57Nihcae loe ampanawk baktiah oep om o ai, hnukbangah angnawn o; oepthok ai palaa baktiah lam amkhraeng o.
57But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
58Nihcae mah kasang ahmuennawk hoiah anih to palungphui o sak moe, sakcop ih krangnawk hoiah uthaih palung to tacawt o sak.
58For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
59Sithaw mah thaih naah, palungphui moe, Israel caanawk to paroeai panuet,
59When God heard this , he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
60kaminawk salakah kaom, Shiloh ih kahni im doeh a caeh taak,
60So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;
61a thacakhaih to tamna ah caehsak moe, a lensawkhaih to misa banah a paek.
61And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy’s hand.
62Angmah ih kaminawk to sumsen hoi hum hanah a paek; a toep han ih qawk nuiah kating ai palungphui.
62He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
63Nihcae ih thendoengnawk to hmai mah kangh pae; nihcae ih tanglanawk doeh sava sah o ai.
63The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
64Angmacae ih qaimanawk doeh sumsen hoiah duek o; lamhmainawk doeh qah o ai boeh.
64Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
65To naah Angraeng loe iih kangthawk baktih, misurtui pongah kahang thacak kami baktiah angthawk.
65Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
66Angmah ih misanawk to a tuk moe, dungzan khoek to azatsak.
66And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
67Joseph ih kahni im to a maak pae, Ephraim acaeng doeh qoi ai,
67Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
68toe Judah acaeng, angmah palung ih, Zion mae to anih mah qoih.
68But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
69Angmah ih hmuenciim to hmuen sang baktiah a sak moe, dungzan khoek to caksak ih long baktih a ohsak.
69And he built his sanctuary like high palaces , like the earth which he hath established for ever.
70A tamna David to qoih, tuu imthung hoiah anih to a lak;
70He chose David also 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 following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
72To pongah toenghaih palungthin hoiah nihcae to a khetzawn moe, palunghahaih ban hoiah nihcae to a hoih.
72So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
