Psalms 74
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Maschil of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast us off for ever? Why doth Thine anger smoke against the flock of Thy pasture?
1Aw Sithaw, tipongah dungzan khoek to nang pahnawt loe? Tipongah nangmah ih caphoih ahmuen ah kapra tuunawk nuiah palung na phui loe?
2Remember Thy congregation, which Thou hast gotten of old, which Thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of Thine inheritance; and mount Zion, wherein Thou hast dwelt.
2Canghnii hoiah na qan ih kaminawk, na qawktoep acaengnawk hoi na ohhaih Zion mae to poek ah.
3Lift up Thy steps because of the perpetual ruins, even all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
3Kaciim ahmuen to misanawk mah paro o boih boeh pongah, dungzan ah kamro ahmuen ah na khok to paqoi lai ah.
4Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of Thy meeting-place; they have set up their own signs for signs.
4Na misanawk loe nangmah ih kaminawk salakah hang o; nihcae loe angmacae angmathaih kahni to payang o.
5It seemed as when men wield upwards axes in a thicket of trees.
5Nihcae loe caka hoi tu thung ih thing pakhruh kaminawk baktiah oh o.
6And now all the carved work thereof together they strike down with hatchet and hammers.
6Toe vaihi loe sak ih hmuennawk to caki hoi cakanawk hoiah a saek o boih boeh.
7They have set Thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling-place of Thy name even to the ground.
7Na hmuenciim to hmai hoiah a thlaek o boeh; na hmin ohhaih ahmuen doeh long ah vah o moe, panuet thok ah a sak o boeh.
8They said in their heart: 'Let us make havoc of them altogether'; they have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
8Nihcae mah, Hae kaminawk hae paduek boih si, tiah thuih o moe, prae thung ih Sithaw bokhaih ahmuennawk to hmai hoiah thlaek o boih boeh.
9We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
9Kaicae loe kaimacae angmathaih tidoeh ka hnu o ai; tahmaanawk doeh om o ai boeh; nasetto maw hae tiah om vop tih, tiah panoek kami kaicae thungah mi doeh om ai.
10How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme Thy name for ever?
10Aw Sithaw, nasetto maw misa mah kasaethui vop tih? Misa mah na hmin kasae thui poe tih maw?
11Why withdrawest Thou Thy hand, even Thy right hand? Draw it out of Thy bosom and consume them.
11Tipongah na ban, na bantang ban to na zuh let loe? Na saoek thung hoiah pathok ah.
12Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
12Sithaw loe canghnii hoiah ni kai ih siangpahrang ah oh boeh; anih mah ni long nuiah pahlonghaih to sak.
13Thou didst break the sea in pieces by Thy strength; Thou didst shatter the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
13Na thacakhaih hoiah tuipui to na pakhoih; tuipuinawk thung ih pahui puinawk ih lu to na khaeh.
14Thou didst crush the heads of leviathan, Thou gavest him to be food to the folk inhabiting the wilderness.
14Leviathan ih lunawk to na koihsak phaeng moe, praezaek ah kaom kaminawk hanah buh ah na paek.
15Thou didst cleave fountain and brook; Thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.
15Nangmah ni tuibap tui hoi vacong tuinawk to na longsak; vapui tuinawk doeh na kaangsak.
16Thine is the day, Thine also the night; Thou hast established luminary and sun.
16Khodai loe nang ih ni, khoving doeh nang ih ni; nangmah ni ni hoi aanghaih to na sak.
17Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; Thou hast made summer and winter.
17Nangmah ni long angzithaih ramrinawk to na sak moe, nipui hoi siktue doeh na sak.
18Remember this, how the enemy hath reproached the LORD, and how a base people have blasphemed Thy name.
18Aw Angraeng, misa mah kasaethuihaih to poek ah; kamthunawk mah loe na hmin to patoek o.
19O deliver not the soul of Thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the life of Thy poor for ever.
19Nangmah ih pahuu tuinom hinghaih to kasae kaminawk khaeah paek hmah; nangmah ih amtang kaminawk to dungzan khoek to pahnet hmah.
20Look upon the covenant; for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
20Lokkamhaih to poek ah; long khoving ahmuennawk loe pacaekthlaekhaih hoiah koi.
21O let not the oppressed turn back in confusion; let the poor and needy praise Thy name.
21Patangkhang kaminawk to palung boengsak hmah; kamtang hoi kavawt kaminawk mah na hmin to saphaw o nasoe.
22Arise, O God, plead Thine own cause; remember Thy reproach all the day at the hand of the base man.
22Aw Sithaw, angthawk tahang ah loe, na sak ih hmuen to pakaa ah; kawbangmaw kamthunawk mah nang sethaih kawng ni thokkruek thuih o, tito panoek ah.
23Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries, the tumult of those that rise up against Thee which ascendeth continually.
23Na misanawk ih lok to pahnet hmah; na misanawk hanghaih lok loe pop aep aep boeh.
