Tingtoeng 52

1 Edom Doeg loh cet tih Saul la, “David te Ahimelek im la cet coeng,” a ti nah tih a puen vaengkah, aka mawt ham David kah hlohlai. Hlangrhalh nang loh boethae neh bahamlae na thangthen uh. Pathen kah sitlohnah he hnin takuem ah cak.

To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of David. When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul saying, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day?

2 Na lai loh a talnah a moeh. Palyal neh paihat bangla haat tih a hlueng.

Purposing destruction, using deceit; your tongue is like a sharp blade.

3 Hno then lakah boethae na lungnah. Duengnah lakah a honghi te na thui. (Selah)

You have more love for evil than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah)

4 Hlangthai palat kah a lai loh dolhnah ol boeih te a lungnah.

Destruction is in all your words, O false tongue.

5 Te cakhaw Pathen loh nang te a yoeyah la m'voeih vetih, nang te m'poep ni. Te vaengah dap khui lamkah nang te m'phuk vetih, mulhing rhoek kah khohmuen lamloh nang m'phuk ni.

But God will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting you from the land of the living. (Selah)

6 Tedae aka dueng rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah a rhih uh vetih anih te,

The upright will see it with fear, and will say, laughing at you:

7 “Hlang khaw ke, Pathen vik amah kah lunghim la khueh pawt tih a khuehtawn cangpai dongah pangtung tih a talnah neh tanglue,” tila a nueih thiluh.

See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself strong in his wealth.

8 Tedae kai tah Pathen im kah olive thinghing bangla kumhal ah Pathen kah sitlohnah te ka pangtung yoeyah.

But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever.

9 Namah loh na saii coeng dongah kumhal ah nang kan uem vetih na then dongah na ming te na hlangcim rhoek hmuh ah ka lamtawn ni.

I will give you praise without end for what you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it is good.
