Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears 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 a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,
2Hlamat lamkah olkael te ka ka dongkah neh ka ong vetih ka thaa dae ni.
3which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told 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, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, his strength, and his wondrous deeds that he has done.
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 covenant in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known 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 generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; who should arise and tell their 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 might set their hope in God, and not forget God’s deeds, but keep 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.
8and might not be as their fathers— a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with 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 children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
9Liv a aka muk tih aka kaap Ephraim ca rhoek khaw caemrhal tue vaengah a hnuk la bung uh.
10They didn’t keep God’s covenant, and refused to walk in his law.
10Pathen kah paipi te ngaithuen uh pawt tih a olkhueng neh pongpa ham khaw a aal uh.
11They forgot his doings, his wondrous deeds that he had shown them.
11Te dongah amah kah bibi neh khobaerhambae amih a tueng te a hnilh uh.
12He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
12Egypt kho Zoan hmuen kah a napa rhoek mikhmuh ah khobaerhambae a saii pah.
13He split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap.
13Tuitunli te a phih pah tih amih a kat puei vaengah tui khaw som bangla pai.
14In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, and all night with a light of fire.
14Te phoeiah amih te khothaih ah cingmai neh khoyin puet te hmai vang neh a mawt.
15He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.
15Khosoek ah lungpang rhoek te a hep pah tih tuidung bangla muep a tul.
16He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
16Thaelpang khuikah tuicip a thoeng sak tih tuiva tui bangla a hlawn.
17Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.
17Tedae rhamrhae ah Khohni te a koek uh tih a taengah tholh ham koep a koei uh.
18They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.
18Amih kah hinglu dongah caak a hoe uh te khaw a thinko neh Pathen ni a noemcai uh.
19Yes, they spoke against God. They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
19Pathen taengah khaw, “Khosoek khuiah caboei phaih ham Pathen te coeng thai aya?
20Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”
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 angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up 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 didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his salvation.
22Pathen te tangnah uh pawt tih Boeipa kah khangnah dongah a pangtung uh pawt dongah ni.
23Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.
23Tedae a sokah khomong te a uen tih vaan thohkhaih rhoi te a ong.
24He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.
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 to the full.
25Hlang loh rhaelnu buh a caak tih lampu khaw amih ham kodam la a thak pah.
26He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.
26Vaan lamkah kanghawn a hlah tih a sarhi neh tuithim yilh khaw a thawn.
27He also rained meat on them as the dust, winged birds as the sand of the seas.
27Te dongah maeh loh laipi bangla, vaa mul long khaw tuitunli kah laivin bangla amih soah tlan tih,
28He let them fall in the middle of their camp, around their habitations.
28a dap kaepvai kah a lambong lakli ah a hlak pah.
29So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.
29Te dongah a caak uh tih muep cung uh. Amih kah ngaihlihnah vanbangla amih te a paek.
30They didn’t turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,
30A ka dongah caak a paem uh pueng akhaw amamih kah hoehhamnah te kholong uh tak pawh.
31when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of their strongest, and struck down 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.
32For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.
32Te boeih khui lamkah tholh uh bal pueng tih Boeipa kah khobaerhambae te tangnah uh pawh.
33Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.
33Te dongah amih kah khohnin loh a honghi la, a kum khaw lungmitnah neh thok.
34When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly.
34Amih te a ngawn van daengah ni Boeipa te a tlap uh. Mael uh tih Pathen a toem uh.
35They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their redeemer.
35Te daengah amih kah lungpang Pathen neh amih aka tlan Khohni Pathen te a ngaidam uh.
36But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue.
36Tedae amah te a ka neh a hloih uh tih a lai neh a taengah laithae uh.
37For their heart was not right with him, neither were they faithful in his covenant.
37Amih kah lungbuei te khaw Boeipa taengah hong pawt tih a paipi te tangnah uh pawh.
38But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn’t destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn’t stir up all his 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 wind that passes away, and doesn’t come again.
39Amih te pumsa lah om tih yilh loh a khum phoeiah ha mael pawt te khaw a poek.
40How often they rebelled against 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.
41They turned again and tempted 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 didn’t remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;
42Rhal khui lamkah Boeipa kut loh amih a lat khohnin te poek uh pawh.
43how he set his signs in Egypt, his wonders in the field of Zoan,
43Amah kah miknoek te Egypt ah, kopoekrhai hno khaw Zoan hmuen ah a tueng sak.
44he turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.
44A sokko khaw thii la a poeh sak tih tuicip kangna khaw o uh thai pawh.
45He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
45Amih aka yok ham pil neh amih aka phae ham bukak khaw a hlah pah.
46He also gave their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.
46A cangthaih te phol taengla, a thaphu khaw kaisih taengla a paek pah.
47He destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost.
47Amih kah misur te rhael neh, a thaihae khaw tlansing neh a ngawn pah.
48He also gave over their livestock to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
48A rhamsa te rhael taengla, a boiva khaw rhaekhmai taengla a uup pah.
49He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of angels of evil.
49A thintoek thinsa kah a thinpom khaw, yoethae puencawn rhoi at kah kosi neh citcai te khaw amih taengah a sah.
50He made a path for his anger. He didn’t spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,
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.
51and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.
51Egypt kah caming boeih neh Ham dap kah thahuem tanglue te a ngawn pah.
52But he led out his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
52Tedae a pilnam te boiva bangla a khuen tih khosoek khuiah tuping bangla a hmaithawn.
53He led them safely, so that they weren’t afraid, but the sea overwhelmed 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 the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.
54Te dongah amah kah bantang kut neh a men tlang cim khorhi la amih te a khuen.
55He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell 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.
56Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and didn’t keep his testimonies,
56Tedae Khohni Pathen te a noemcai uh tih a koek uh, a olphong khaw khoem uh pawh.
57but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were twisted like a deceitful bow.
57A napa rhoek bangla balkhong uh tih hnukpoh uh. Lii a pawl la poeh uh.
58For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.
58A hmuensang neh Boeipa a veet uh tih a mueidaep neh a thatlai sak uh.
59When God heard this, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel,
59Pathen loh a yaak vaengah lungoe tih Israel te rhep a hnawt.
60so that he abandoned the tent of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men,
60Te dongah Shiloh pohmuen neh hlang lakli kah a khueh dap te a phap sut.
61and delivered his strength into captivity, his glory into the adversary’s hand.
61A sarhi te tamna la, a thangpomnah khaw rhal kut khuila a paek pah.
62He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.
62A pilnam te cunghang taengla a tloeng tih a rho taengah khaw lungoe.
63Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song.
63Tongpang rhoek te hmai loh a hlawp dongah oila rhoek thangthen uh pawh.
64Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows couldn’t weep.
64A khosoih rhoek te cunghang dongah cungku uh tih a nuhmai rhoek khaw rhap uh pawh.
65Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.
65Te vaengah Boeipa loh aka ip muelh bangla, misurtui neh aka tamhoe hlangrhalh bangla haenghang.
66He struck his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach.
66A rhal rhoek te tloep a tloek tih amih te kumhal kokhahnah la a khueh.
67Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, and didn’t choose the tribe of Ephraim,
67Joseph kah dap khaw a hnawt tih Ephraim kah mancai te a tuek tloe moenih.
68But 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 which he has established forever.
69Te dongah a rhokso te a sang la a sak tih kumhal due diklai bangla a suen.
70He also chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;
70A sal David te a tuek dongah boiva vongup lamkah a loh.
71from following the ewes that have their young, he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob, his people, and Israel, his inheritance.
71A pilnam Jakob neh a rho Israel te luem puei ham ni anih te cacun hnuk lamkah a khuen.
72So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
72Te dongah a thinko neh amih te a luem puei tih, a kut kah a lungcuei neh a mawt.
