Tingtoeng 53

1 Aka mawt ham Mahalath dongkah David hlohlai Hlang ang loh amah lungbuei neh Pathen om pawh a ti. A poci uh dongah dumlai la tueilaeh kap tih, a then aka saii om pawh.

TO THE OVERSEER. “ON A DISEASE.” AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. A fool said in his heart, “There is no God.” They have done corruptly, Indeed, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.

2 Vaan lamkah Pathen loh hlang ca rhoek te hmuh hamla a dan. Pathen aka toem lungming khaw om van nim?

God looked on the sons of men from the heavens, To see if there is an understanding one, [One] seeking God.

3 Anih loh hlang boeih te tun a balkhong sak tih a rhonging uh coeng dongah hno then aka saii om pawh. Pakhat khaw om pawh.

Everyone went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good—not even one.

4 Boethae saii tih buh caak bangla ka pilnam aka yoop rhoek loh Pathen a khue uh pawt te ming uh pawt nim?

Workers of iniquity have not known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, They have not called God.

5 Nang aka rhaeh thil kah rhuhrhong te Pathen loh a yaal dongah birhihnah om pawt dae birhihnah neh birhih uh. Amih te Pathen loh a hnawt dongah yah a bai.

There they feared a fear—there was no fear, For God has scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against you, You have put to shame, For God has despised them.

6 Amah loh Israel kah khangnah te Zion lamkah han khuen tih a pilnam kah thongtla te Pathen loh ham bal puei vaengah Jakob omngaih saeh lamtah Israel kohoe saeh.

Who gives the salvation of Israel from Zion? When God turns back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob rejoices—Israel is glad!
