Tingtoeng 1

1 Halang rhoek kah caemtuh dongah aka cet pawt tih, hlangtholh rhoek kah longpuei ah aka pai pawh, hmuiyoi rhoek kah tolrhum ah aka ngol pawt hlang te tah a yoethen.

O the blessedness of that one, Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, And has not stood in the way of sinners, And has not sat in the seat of scorners;

2 Tedae BOEIPA kah olkhueng dongah a hlahmae tih khoyin khothaih olkhueng dongah aka thuep tah,

But his delight [is] in the Law of YHWH, And in His law he meditates by day and by night:

3 Sokca tui taengah a phung thingkung bangla a om dongah amah tue ah a thaih thaii tih, a hnah khaw hoo pawh. A saii boeih te khaw thaihtak.

And he has been as a tree, Planted by streams of water, That gives its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither, And all that he does he causes to prosper.

4 Halang rhoek tah te tlam pawt tih anih te cangkik bangla yilh loh lat a yawn.

Not so the wicked: But [they are] as chaff that wind drives away!

5 Te dongah halang rhoek te laitloeknah dongah, hlangtholh rhoek te hlangdueng rhaengpuei taengah, tlai thai mahpawh.

Therefore the wicked do not rise in judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous,

6 BOEIPA loh aka dueng rhoek kah longpuei te a ngaithuen dongah halang rhoek kah longpuei tah khoep bing ni.

For YHWH is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!
