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.

[For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, "David has come to Abimelech's house."] Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God's loving kindness endures continually.

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

Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

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 love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah)

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

You love all devouring 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)

God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root 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:

The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,

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

"Look, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and was confident in his desire."

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 as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house. I trust in God's loving kindness 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 give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your faithful ones.
