Saam 10
1 Aw Bawipa, kawtih ak hla na nang dyih? Kyinaak a awm huiawh kawtih nang thuh qu valh?
Why, YHWH, do You stand at a distance? Do You hide in times of adversity?
2 Ak oek qu soeih thlak che ing tha amak awm thlangkhqi, amah ing teng nawh am tu thlangkhqi ce hquut hy.
Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in schemes that they devised.
3 Ak kawlung hymnaak awh oek qu nawh; ak lawn na ak ngaih ce zoeksang nawh Bawipa taw hlah phlam hy.
Because the wicked has boasted Of the desire of his soul, And he has blessed a dishonest gainer, He has despised YHWH.
4 Ak oek qu thlak che ingtaw amah ingkaw amah am sui qu nawh; Ak poeknaak boeih awh Khawsa ham hun qoe am awm hy.
The wicked does not inquire according to the height of his face. “There is no God!” [are] all his schemes.
5 A lamkhqi boeih awh a zo awm hy. Anaa a hqam aih awh nang a cawngpyinaak awi ing hla qu hy nih; a qaalkhqi boeih ce huhsitnaak ing qaih na hy.
His ways writhe at all times, Your judgments [are] on high before him, All his adversaries—he puffs at them.
6 Amah ingtaw, Ikaw ingawm am ning tah sak tikaw; zeel loet nyng saw kyinaak am hu tang tikawng” tinawh poek hy.
He has said in his heart, “I am not moved, [And am] not in calamity to generation and generation.”
7 Anih am kha taw seet lawhnaak, qaainaak ingkaw kqih am hqinnaak ing be hy, am lai awh awm kyinaak ingkaw seetnaak doek khoeih ni.
His mouth is full of oaths, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue [is] perverseness and iniquity,
8 Khawkeng imceng khqi awh ngawi nawh, ak awm poek poek khqi ce mam nawh him hy.
He sits in an ambush of the villages, He slays the innocent in secret places. His eyes secretly watch for the afflicted,
9 Sendeih ing ak kawk khui awhkawng a qeh dym amyihna, a hlip naak awh qeh hy, hulkung amak awm thlang ce tu aham qeh nawh; bawmkung amak awmkhqi ce lawk ing sing hy.
He lies in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lies in wait to catch the poor, He catches the poor, drawing him into his net.
10 A thekhanaak thlangkhqi ce kqih am hqin hy; cekkhqi ce ak thaawmnaak khuiawh tlaak sak khqi hy.
He is bruised—he bows down, The afflicted has fallen by his mighty ones.
11 Amah ingtaw Khawsa ing hilh hawh hy; a hai sing khoep nawh am hu thai voel hy” tina poek hy.
He said in his heart, “God has forgotten, He has hid His face, He has never seen.”
12 Aw Bawipa, tho hlah! Aw Khawsa na kut thlek hlah, hulkung amak ta thlangkhqi ce koeh hilh.
Arise, O YHWH! O God, lift up Your hand! Do not forget the humble.
13 Thlak che ing kawtih Bawipa a thekha naak? Ikawtih amah ingkaw amah, “Ikaw am ni tina tang”, tina ak poek hy voei?
Why has the wicked despised God? He has said in his heart, “It is not required.”
14 Cehlai aw Khawsa, kyinaak ingkaw ko kqangnaak ve toek nawhtaw; na kut khuiawh lawh aham poek lah. Kyinaak ak hukhqi ing nang a venawh pe qu unawh, pa amak takhqi ak hulkung na awm hyk ti.
You have seen, For You behold perverseness and anger; By giving into Your hand, The afflicted leave [it] on You, You have been a helper of the fatherless.
15 Thlak chekhqi ingkaw thlak thawlh a baan ce hqem pe nawh; huh thai na ama awm hlan dy awh a thawlhnaak ce tlet pe lah.
Break the arm of the wicked and the evil, Seek out his wickedness, find none;
16 Bawipa taw kumqui awhkawng kumqui dy sangpahrang na awm hy; pilnam thlangkhqi taw a kut awhkawng kqeng bang kawm uh.
YHWH [is] King for all time and forever, The nations have perished out of His land!
17 Aw Bawipa, khuikha ak hukhqi a ngaihnaak ce zaak penawh; tha na peek coengawh, cekkhqi ang kqangnaak awi ce ngai pe hyk ti.
You have heard the desire of the humble, O YHWH. You prepare their heart; You cause Your ear to attend,
18 Pa amak takhqi ingkaw a thenaak khqi ce dyih pyi nawh, khawmdek thlangkhqi ing cekkhqi ce am huhsit hqa voel hy.
To judge the fatherless and bruised: He adds no more to oppress—man of the earth!
