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.
To the Overseer. — An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, 'David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.' What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day.
2 Na lai loh a talnah a moeh. Palyal neh paihat bangla haat tih a hlueng.
Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.
3 Hno then lakah boethae na lungnah. Duengnah lakah a honghi te na thui. (Selah)
Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
4 Hlangthai palat kah a lai loh dolhnah ol boeih te a lungnah.
Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou 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.
Also — God doth break thee down for ever, Taketh thee, and pulleth thee out of the tent, And He hath uprooted thee Out of the land of the living. (Selah)
6 Tedae aka dueng rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah a rhih uh vetih anih te,
And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.
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.
'Lo, the man who maketh not God his strong place, And trusteth in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.'
8 Tedae kai tah Pathen im kah olive thinghing bangla kumhal ah Pathen kah sitlohnah te ka pangtung yoeyah.
And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, To the age and for 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 thank Thee to the age, because Thou hast done [it], And I wait [on] Thy name for [it is] good before Thy saints!
