Saam 52

1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih Maskil. Edom kami Dog loe Saul khaeah caeh moe, David loe Abimelek im ah caeh boeh, tiah a naa. Nang thacak kami, tikhoe kasae sak nam oek haih loe? Sithaw hoihhaih loe cak poe.

Unto the end. The understanding of David. When Doeg the Edomite came and reported to Saul, David went to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you glory in malice, you who are powerful in iniquity?

2 Na palai loe haita kanoe baktiah, kasae sak han ih khue to poek pongah, alighaih tok to a sak.

All day long your tongue thinks up injustice. Like a sharp razor, you have wrought deceit.

3 Nang loe kahoih hmuen pongah kasae hmuen to na palung kue moe, loktang lok thuih pongah loe, amsawnlok thuih to na koeh kue. (Selah)

You have loved malice above goodness, and iniquity more than speaking righteousness.

4 Aw aling thaih palai, nang loe kasae lokthuihaih to na koeh.

You have loved all precipitous words, you deceitful tongue.

5 Nang loe Sithaw mah dungzan khoek to amrosak tih, na haek ving ueloe, na ohhaih ahmuen hoiah azuk ving tih; ka hing kaminawk ohhaih prae thung hoiah na tangzun to aphongh ving tih. (Selah)

Because of this, God will destroy you in the end. He will pull you up, and he will remove you from your tabernacle and your root from the land of the living.

6 Katoeng kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, zii o ueloe, anih to pahnui o thui tih:

The just will see and be afraid, and they will laugh over him, and say:

7 Sithaw oep ai, angmah angraenghaih oep kami, kasae sakhaih caksak kaminawk to khen oh, tiah thui o tih.

“Behold the man who did not set God as his helper. But he hoped in the multitude of his riches, and so he prevailed in his emptiness.”

8 Toe kai loe Sithaw imthung ih kahing olive thing baktiah ka oh: kai loe Sithaw amlunghaih ni dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to kang oep haih.

But I, like a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God unto eternity, and forever and ever.

9 Na sak pacoeng ih hmuen pongah, dungzan khoek to kang pakoeh han: na hoih pongah, nangmah ih kaciim kaminawk hmaa ah, na hmin to ka zing han.

I will confess to you forever, because you have accomplished it. And I will wait on your name, for it is good in the sight of your saints.
