Tingtoeng 58
1 [Aka mawt ham David kah, “Phae boeh” laa] Duengnah he olmueh na ti uh tih, hlang ca rhoek taengah vanatnah neh lai na tloek uh tang a?
“To the chief musician Al-tashcheth, by David, a Michtham.” Do you indeed, who are dumb, speak righteously? do ye judge in uprightness, O ye sons of men?
2 Tedae, lungbuei neh dumlai na saii. Diklai ah kuthlahnah te na kut dongah na thuek.
Even in [your] heart ye work injustice: on the earth do ye weigh out the violence of your hands.
3 Halang rhoek tah bung khui lamloh kholong uh coeng tih, laithae aka thui rhoek khaw a bungko khui lamloh kho a hmang uh.
The wicked are estranged [from goodness] from the womb: those who speak lies go astray from their very birth.
4 Amih kah kosi te rhul sue phek la om tih minta hnapang bangla a hna a buem.
They have poison like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
5 Te vaengah aka hloih thai rhoek loh a hloih vaengkah a sisuk ol te ya pawh.
Which will not hearken to the voice of conjurers, yea, that of the wisest of all charmers.
6 Pathen aw, amih ka dongkah a no te koengloeng pah. BOEIPA aw sathueng kah kamkenno te thuk pah.
O God, break out their teeth in their mouth: the jaw-teeth of the young lions tear thou out, O Lord.
7 Amih te tui aka long bangla yip kak uh saeh. Thaltang, thaltang a phuk te haih pah tangloeng saeh.
Let them melt away as water [which] runneth off: when each one bendeth [his bow to shoot] his arrows, let them be as if cut in pieces.
8 Hnap neh aka thoeih lainat neh huta aka rhumpu bangla khomik hmu uh boel saeh.
As a snail which melteth, let him pass away; like the untimely birth of a woman which hath not seen the sun.
9 Na umam loh a yakming uh hlan ah cangpalam loh a yawn bangla hling khaw, thinghing khaw thingkoh khaw yawn saeh.
Before your pots can feel the thorns, will he take them away with a whirlwind, both the green and the burning.
10 Phulohnah a hmuh vaengah hlang dueng loh a kohoe vetih halang kah thii neh a kho a silh ni.
The righteous will rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he will bathe his steps in the blood of the wicked.
11 Te vaengah pilnam loh, “Aka dueng ham thapang om pai. Diklai ah Pathen loh lai a tloek pai,” a ti ni.
So that a man shall say, Verily fruit will come for the righteous: verily there is a God that judgeth on the earth.
