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.
Unto the end. The understanding of David. When Doeg the Edomite came and reported to Saul, David went to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you glory in malice, you who are powerful in iniquity?
2 Na lai loh a talnah a moeh. Palyal neh paihat bangla haat tih a hlueng.
All day long your tongue thinks up injustice. Like a sharp razor, you have wrought deceit.
3 Hno then lakah boethae na lungnah. Duengnah lakah a honghi te na thui. (Selah)
You have loved malice above goodness, and iniquity more than speaking righteousness.
4 Hlangthai palat kah a lai loh dolhnah ol boeih te a lungnah.
You have loved all precipitous words, you deceitful tongue.
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.
Because of this, God will destroy you in the end. He will pull you up, and he will remove you from your tabernacle and your root from the land of the living.
6 Tedae aka dueng rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah a rhih uh vetih anih te,
The just will see and be afraid, and they will laugh over him, and say:
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.
“Behold the man who did not set God as his helper. But he hoped in the multitude of his riches, and so he prevailed in his emptiness.”
8 Tedae kai tah Pathen im kah olive thinghing bangla kumhal ah Pathen kah sitlohnah te ka pangtung yoeyah.
But I, like a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God unto eternity, and forever and ever.
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 confess to you forever, because you have accomplished it. And I will wait on your name, for it is good in the sight of your saints.
