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.

TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF DOEG THE EDOMITE, AND HE DECLARES TO SAUL AND SAYS TO HIM, “DAVID CAME TO THE HOUSE OF AHIMELECH.” Why do you boast in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day.

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

Your tongue devises mischiefs, Like a sharp razor, working 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 evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. (Selah)

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

You have loved all devouring words, O 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)

Also—God breaks you down forever, Takes you, and pulls you out of the tent, And He has uprooted you Out of the land of the living. (Selah)

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

And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.

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

“Behold, the man who does not make God his strong place, And trusts in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.”

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.

And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, For all time and forever,

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 thank You for all time, because You have done [it], And I wait [on] Your Name for [it is] good before Your saints!
