< Tingtoeng 49 >
1 [Aka mawt ham Korah ca rhoek kah tingtoenglung] Pilnam boeih loh hekah he ya uh lah. Khosaknah dongkah khosa boeih loh hnatun uh.
Unto the end, a psalm for the sons of Core. Hear these things, all ye nations: give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.
2 Hlang capa rhoek long khaw, hlang tongpa rhoek long khaw, hlanglen neh khodaeng long khaw thikat la hnatun uh.
All you that are earthborn, and you sons of men: both rich and poor together.
3 Ka ka loh cueihnah a thui vetih ka lungbuei poeknah loh a lungcuei om bitni.
My mouth shall speak wisdom: and the meditation of my heart understanding.
4 Ka hna he thuidoeknah taengla ka kaeng vetih, ka olkael he rhotoeng neh ka thuicaih ni.
I will incline my ear to a parable; I will open my proposition on the psaltery.
5 Yoethaenah hnin ah ka khodil kah thaesainah loh kai m'vael dae ba ham lae ka rhih eh?
Why shall I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall encompass me.
6 A thadueng dongah pangtung uh tih a khuehtawn a yet neh thangthen uh dae,
They that trust in their own strength, and glory in the multitude of their riches,
7 hlang loh a manuca te a lat khaw a lat thai moenih. A tlansum te Pathen taengah a paek thai moenih.
No brother can redeem, nor shall man redeem: he shall not give to God his ransom,
8 A hinglu kah tlansum tah kuelka tih kumhal a toeng.
Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: and shall labour for ever,
9 Te koinih a yoeyah la hing pueng sui tih hlan khaw hmuh pawt sue.
And shall still live unto the end.
10 Aka cueih rhoek long tah a duek te a hmuh. Aka ang neh kotalh khaw a milh vaengah a khuehtawn te hlang tloe ham a caehtak.
He shall not see destruction, when he shall see the wise dying: the senseless and the fool shall perish together: And they shall leave their riches to strangers:
11 Amih kah poeknah nen tah a im te kumhal ah, a pohmuen te thawnpuei lamkah cadilcahma duela, om ni a ti uh tih tolhmuen te amih ming neh a khue uh.
And their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever. Their dwelling places to all generations: they have called their lands by their names.
12 Tedae hlang he umponah khaw a rhaehrhong moenih, rhamsa banglam ni a thuidoek tih a hmata.
And man when he was in honour did not understand; he is compared to senseless beasts, and is become like to them.
13 Tetla amamih khosing te a uepnah tih amih kah olthui te a hnukbang rhoek loh a pom uh. (Selah)
This way of theirs is a stumblingblock to them: and afterwards they shall delight in their mouth.
14 Amih te saelkhui kah boiva la tael uh vetih, dueknah loh a luem puei ni. Tedae mincang ah amih te aka thuem rhoek loh a taemrhai uh ni. A muei neh a lungpang a imhmuen lamloh saelkhui la hmawn ni. (Sheol )
They are laid in hell like sheep: death shall feed upon them. And the just shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their help shall decay in hell from their glory. (Sheol )
15 Tedae Pathen loh ka hinglu he saelkhui kut lamkah n'lat dongah kai he n'loh bit ni. (Selah) (Sheol )
But God will redeem my soul from the hand of hell, when he shall receive me. (Sheol )
16 Hlang pakhat loh boei tih a im kah thangpomnah loh pungtai cakhaw rhih boeh.
Be not thou afraid, when a man shall be made rich, and when the glory of his house shall be increased.
17 A duek vaengah pakhat khaw khuen mahpawh. A thangpomnah loh anih te suntlak puei mahpawh.
For when he shall die he shall take nothing away; nor shall his glory descend with him.
18 A hing vaengah a hinglu te yoethen a paek tih namah te na hoeikhang vaengah nang uem uh dae,
For in his lifetime his soul will be blessed: and he will praise thee when thou shalt do well to him.
19 A napa rhoek kah cadilcahma la cet vetih yoeyah la vangnah hmu uh mahpawh.
He shall go in to the generations of his fathers: and he shall never see light.
20 Hlang he umponah neh om dae a yakming pawt atah rhamsa aka hmata rhoek bangla om.
Man when he was in honour did not understand: he hath been compared to senseless beasts, and made like to them.
