1In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city. God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks.
1Huai ni chiangin Judate gamah hiai la a sa ding uh. Khopi kip tak i nei ua: aman lah hotdamna kulh bangte le kulhpite adingin a sep ding hi.
2Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
2Nam diktat thutakjui nam a lut theihna dingin kulh kongkhakte hong un.
3You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.
3Na tunga lungsim ngami, nangmah a hon muan jiakin, khamuang mahmaha om dingin na veng ding.
4Trust in Yahweh forever; for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting Rock.
4TOUPA khantawnin muang un: TOUPA Jehova ah lah khantawn suangpi a om ngala.
5For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low. He lays it low even to the ground. He brings it even to the dust.
5Aman lah sangpi-a omte a hihniamta ngala, khopi sangpi mah: huai tuh a koih niama, lei phain a koih niama, leivui pha hialin a puksak hi.
6The foot shall tread it down; Even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.”
6Khein a sikden ding; gentheite khe leh tagahte kalsuan mahmahin.
7The way of the just is uprightness. You who are upright make the path of the righteous level.
7Mi diktat lampi lah dikna ahi a; nang lungtang diktat puin mi diktat lampi na hihmam sek.
8Yes, in the way of your judgments, Yahweh, have we waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.
8A hi, TOUPA aw, na vaihawmna lampi ah kon ngak nilouh uh: kou hinna deihlam jaw na min loh leh nangmah theihgigena ahi.
9With my soul have I desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
9Jan chiangin ka hinnain nangmah a honngaia; ahi, jingkhangin ka sunga ka kha omin ka honzong ding hi: na vaihawmnate leia a hongom chiangin khovela omten diktatna lah a sin jel ngal ua.
10Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see Yahweh’s majesty.
10Mi thulimlou jaw deihsakin om mahleh, diktatna a sin tuan sam kei ding: dikna gamah diklou tak in a hih dinga, TOUPA thupina a mu tuan kei ding.
11Yahweh, your hand is lifted up, yet they don’t see; but they will see your zeal for the people, and be disappointed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
11TOUPA, na khut lah jakin a oma, himahleh amau lah a mu tuan kei ua: ahihhangin mite adia na phatuamngaihna a mu ding ua, a zum ta ding uh; ahi, nang hondoute meiin a kang mang ding.
12Yahweh, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also worked all our works for us.
12TOUPA nang lemna non sehsak ding: nang lah ka nasep tengteng uh non sep sak ngala.
13Yahweh our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but by you only will we make mention of your name.
13TOUPA ka Pathian uh aw, nang kia hilouin kumpipa dangten leng ka tunguah thu a neikhin ta ngal ua, himahleh nang mahmah panpihin na min ka lou ta ding uh.
14The dead shall not live. The deceased shall not rise. Therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
14Amau lah a sita uha, ahing nawn kei ding uh; a mangta ua, a thou nawn kei ding uh; huaijiakin nang amau na gawtin na hihsiaa, a theihgigena tengteng u leng na hihmangta hi.
15You have increased the nation, O Yahweh. You have increased the nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the land.
15Hiai nam lah na pungsaktaa. TOUPA aw, hiai nam lah na pungsakta: nang lah pahtawiin na omta: hiai gam lah a gamgi tengteng na liansakta hi.
16Yahweh, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
16TOUPA, a dah lai un a honzong ua, na gawtna a tung ua a kiak laiin a thum zihzeh uh.
17Like as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs; so we have been before you, Yahweh.
17Numei nau pai, neih hun naita bangin; TOUPA aw, kou leng na maah ka om sek uh.
18We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
18Nau ka pai ua, ka na ua, huih bang lel ka nei uh; leiah lah tatkhiakna lam himhim ka hihko kei ua; khovela omte lah a puk sam kei uh.
19Your dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast forth the dead.
19Na misite a hing nawn ding ua; ka mi luangte a thou nawn ding uh. Leivuia omte aw, halh unla, nuamtakin lasa un: na daitui lah khovak daitui bang ahi a, leiin lah misite a paikhe sin ngala, chih.
20Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
20Kisa un, ka mite aw, na dantan sung uahte lut unla, na kongkhakte uh kikhak khum un: lunghihlouhna a ven masiah mitphiatkal phet bu un.Ngai un, TOUPA, a gitlouhna jiak ua leia omte gawt dingin a omnaa kipan a hong pawtkhe sin hi: lei mahin a sisan a hihlang dinga, a mi a thah te uh a khuhta kei ding hi.
21For, behold, Yahweh comes forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
21Ngai un, TOUPA, a gitlouhna jiak ua leia omte gawt dingin a omnaa kipan a hong pawtkhe sin hi: lei mahin a sisan a hihlang dinga, a mi a thah te uh a khuhta kei ding hi.
