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.

For the leader. A maskil of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul that David had gone to Abimelech’s house. Why glory in mischief, you hero? God’s kindness is all the day.

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

Engulfing ruin you plot, your tongue like a razor sharpened, you practiser of deceit.

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

Evil, not good, you love, and falsehood, not words of truth. (Selah)

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

But you love all words that devour, and a tongue that is given to deceit.

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, on his part, shall destroy you forever, grasp you and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

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

Smitten with awe at the sight, the righteous shall laugh 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.

“Look” (they will say) “at the hero who did not make God his stronghold, but trusted in his great wealth and in the strength of his riches.”

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

But I am like a fresh olive-tree in the house of God. I trust in the kindness of God for ever and evermore.

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 render you thanks for ever for what you have done. I will tell how good you are in the presence of those who love you.
