Saam 37
1 Ik-oeih che ak saikhqi awh ce nak kaw koeh seet sak nawhtaw ik-oeih amak thym ak sai thlangkhqi awm koeh nai.
[A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, and be not envious of them that work unrighteousness;
2 Cekkhqi taw qam amyihna reu naai kawm usaw qam saihqing amyihna thi naai bit kawm uh.
for they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and fade as the green herb.
3 Bawipa ypna nawhtaw ik-oeih leek ce sai lah; ve qam khuiawh awm nawh qamhqing ve ngaihding ing awm sih lah.
Confide in Jehovah, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on faithfulness;
4 Bawipa awh zeelnaak ta lah, nak kawlung hym ngaihnaakkhqi ce amah ing ni pe bit kaw.
and delight thyself in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
5 Na cehnaak lam ce Bawipa awh hal lah; amah ce ypna lah amah ing sai law bit kaw:
Commit thy way unto Jehovah, and rely upon him: he will bring [it] to pass;
6 Anih ing na dyngnaak ce mymcang khaw amyihna bee law sak kaw, ak thym ik-oeih na sainaak awm khawnghyp khawmik amyihna bee law sak kaw.
and he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Bawipa haiawh awm poek poek nawhtaw kaw dungnaak ing amah ce qeh lah; thlangkhqi ing a ik-oeih sai awh nak kaw koeh tlawh sak.
Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him that prospereth in his way, because of the man that bringeth mischievous devices to pass.
8 Kawsonaak ce re nawhtaw kaw tawknaak awhkawng hlat lah; nam thim koeh tlawh sak - ce ing ce ak che ben doek khoeih awh ni ani hquisawi hly.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself: it [would be] only to do evil.
9 Ikawtih, thlak chekhqi taw moelh a moeng kawm uh, cehlai Bawipa awh ngaih-unaak ak takhqi ingtaw qam ce pang kawm uh.
For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait on Jehovah, they shall possess the land.
10 Kawlhkalh awh, thlak chekhqi taw am awm voel tikaw; cekkhqi ce sui tik seiawm, am hu voel kawp ti.
For yet a little while, and the wicked is not; and thou considerest his place, but he is not.
11 Cehlai kaw ak daw thlangkhqi ingtaw qam ce pang kawmsaw ak bau qoep ang quinaak ing nawm kawm uh.
But the meek shall possess the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of prosperity.
12 Thlak che ingtaw thlak leek ce teng nawh a ha tah sih hy;
The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth his teeth against him.
13 Cehlai Bawipa ing thlak che ce qaih na hy, cekkhqi a tym ce law huili hawh hy ti a sim dawngawh.
The Lord laugheth at him; for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 Thlakche ing khawdengkhqi ingkaw ak voethlauh khqi ce tluk sak aham ingkaw lap dyng awh ak cetkhqi ce him aham zawzi ce phlawng nawh licung ce hawi hy.
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the afflicted and needy, to slay those that are upright in [the] way:
15 Cehlai a mimah ak zawzi ing a mimah a lingbyi nawn ce sun pek khqi kawmsaw ami licungkhqi awm ek pek khqi kaw.
their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 Thlak che a boeinaak anglakawh thlakdyng ing a khoeh ca a taak ce nep bet hy.
The little that the righteous hath is better than the abundance of many wicked;
17 Cehlai thlak che ak thaawmnaak taw ek kawmsaw, thlakdyng cetaw Bawipa ing tu kaw.
for the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.
18 Coet amak kap qoe thlangkhqi a khawnyn ce Bawipa ing sim pehy, a qopang hly kawi awm kumqui dyna cak loet kaw.
Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect; and their inheritance shall be for ever:
19 Plawcinaak atym a pha awh ce am zai kawm uh; khawseet khawkha awh awm khawzah ta kawm uh.
they shall not be ashamed in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 Cehlai thlak chekhqi taw qeeng kawm uh; Bawipa a qaalkhqi taw qam a leeknaak amyihna ni ami awm hly, qeng bang kawm usaw mai khu amyihna ding bang kawm uh.
For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume, like smoke shall they consume away.
21 Thlak che ingtaw pu hlai hy am thung voel hy, cehlai thlakdyng ingtaw khawboe cawnnaak ing pehy.
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; but the righteous is gracious and giveth:
22 Bawipa ing zosennaak a peek khqi ing qam ce pang kawm uh, cehlai kawsi ak hawi thlangkhqi taw milh a moeng kawm uh.
for those blessed of him shall possess the land, and they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.
23 A cehnaak awh BawipaK kaw ak law sak thlang taw, a khaw kan cak pe sak hy;
The steps of a man are established by Jehovah, and he delighteth in his way:
24 Bah seiawm, am tlu tikaw, Bawipa ing a kut ing tu hy.
though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholdeth his hand.
25 Thak awm hui na hang awm hawh nyng saw tuh taw pacawng hawh nyng, thlakdyng cehtaak na ak awm am hu khawi hlan nyng saw a cakhqi ing buh ami thoeh awm am hu khawi hlan nyng.
I have been young, and now am old, and I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread:
26 Khawboe cawnnaak ing thlang amik pu poepa dawngawh a cakhqi ing zosennaak hu kawm uh.
all the day he is gracious and lendeth, and his seed shall be a blessing.
27 Ik-oeih che cehta nawh ik-oeih leek sai lah; cawhtaw qam khuiawh kumqui dyna awm kawp ti.
Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore;
28 Bawipa ing thlakdyng ce a lungnaak dawngawh amah a ypawm thlangkhqi a cadilkhqi taw moelh sak kaw;
for Jehovah loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: They are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 Thlakdyng ingtaw qam ce pang kawmsaw, ak khuiawh kumqui dyna awm kaw.
The righteous shall possess the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30 Thlakdyng am kha ingtaw cyihnaak awi sa nawh, am lai ing awih thym ce kqawn hy.
The mouth of the righteous proffereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh judgment;
31 A Khawsak a cawngpyinaak awi ce ak kawlung khuiawh khoem nawh; a khaw am bah hy.
the law of his God is in his heart; his goings shall not slide.
32 Thlak che ingtaw thlakdyngkhqi ce him aham ngawih sih poepa hy;
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him:
33 Cehlai Bawipa ing cekkhqi kut awh am cehta hyt ti kawmsaw awidengnaak a awm awh awm am thawlh sak tikaw.
Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Bawipa ce qeh nawhtaw a lam ce hquut loet lah. Qam pang sak aham nang ce ni zoeksang kaw; thlak chekhqi moelh sak na ami awm ce hu kawp ti.
Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to possess the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].
35 Ang lai boet na nawh a hqing sup na ak hlul thing amyihna ak awm thlak che ingkaw, thlang qeenkhaw amak ngai thlang ce hu nyng,
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading like a green tree in its native soil:
36 Cehlai kawlhkalh awh anih ce khum bang kawmsaw am awm voel tikaw; sui nyng awm, huh thai na am awm voel kaw.
but he passed away, and behold, he was not; and I sought him, but he was not found.
37 Coet amak kap thlangkhqi ce poek nawhtaw, thlakdyngkhqi ce hat lah; qoepnaak ak sai thlangkhqi ingtaw cadil ta kaw.
Mark the perfect, and behold the upright, for the end of [that] man is peace;
38 Thlak thawlhkhqi taw hqe na awm kawm usaw; thlak chekhqi a cadilkhqi awm moelh kawm uh.
but the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 Thlakdyng hulnaak taw Bawipa ven awhkawng law nawh; kyinaak ami huh awh anih taw cekkhqi ham vawngnu na awm pehy.
But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
40 Bawipa ing cekkhqi ce hul nawh thaawng hy; amah awh ang thuk dawngawh, thlak chekhqi anglakawhkawng hul nawh thaawng hy.
And Jehovah will help them and deliver them: he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; for they trust in him.
