Tingtoeng 14

1 Aka mawt ham David kah Hlang ang loh amah lungbuei neh, “Pathen om pawh,” a ti dongah poci uh tih, a bibi khaw tueilaeh kap. A then aka saii khaw om pawh.

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none that does good.

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

Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

3 Hlang boeih loh thikat la taengphael uh tih rhonging uh. A then aka saii om pawh. Pakhat khaw om pawh.

They are all gone aside. They are together become filthy. There is none who does good, no, not one.

4 Ka pilnam vaidam la aka bai tih aka yoop, BOEIPA aka khue mueh, boethae aka saii boeih loh ming mahpawt nim?

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon Jehovah?

5 Aka dueng thawnpuei taengah Pathen a om dongah birhihnah neh pahoi birhih uh.

There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Mangdaeng kah a cilsuep te na rholrhak cakhaw BOEIPA te anih kah hlipyingnah ni.

Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor because Jehovah is his refuge.

7 Zion lamkah Isreal khangnah u long hang khuen. BOEIPA loh a pilnam thongtla te a lat vaengah Jakob omngaih saeh lamtah Israel a kohoe saeh.

O that the salvation of Israel came out of Zion! When Jehovah brings back the captivity of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
