“For this reason from the Mighty One Times have not been hidden, And those knowing Him have not seen His days.

They reach the borders, They have taken a drove away violently, Indeed, they do evil.

They lead away the donkey of the fatherless, They take in pledge the ox of the widow,

They turn aside the needy from the way, Together have hid the poor of the earth.
5 Thingyeiyawn ramke dawk e la patetlah, rawca tawng hanelah, thaw tawk han lah a cei awh. Amamouh hoi a canaw hanelah ram ni ca hane rawca a tâco sak.
Behold, wild donkeys in a wilderness, They have gone out about their work, Seeking early for prey, A mixture for himself—food for young ones.

They reap his provender in a field, And they glean the vineyard of the wicked.

From the inundation of hills they are wet, And without a refuge—have embraced a rock.

Naked, they have gone without clothing, And hungry—have taken away a sheaf.

They make oil between their walls, They have trodden winepresses, and thirst.

Men groan because of enmity, And the soul of pierced ones cries, And God does not give praise.
13 Angnae hah taranlahoi tarankathawnaw hah ao. A lamthung hah panuek awh hoeh teh, angnae lamthung hah ngai awh hoeh.
They have been those rebelling against light, They have not discerned His ways, Nor abided in His paths.
14 Tamikathetnaw ni angnae dawk hoi a thaw awh teh, karoedengnaw hoi kavoutthoupnaw hah a thei awh. Karum e tami tamru patetlah ao awh.
The murderer rises at the light, He slays the poor and needy, And in the night he is as a thief.
15 Ayâ yu yonkhai hane mit ni khohmo a ngaihawi. Minhmai a hro teh, apini na hmawt mahoeh telah a pouk.
And the eye of an adulterer Has observed the twilight, Saying, No eye beholds me. And he puts the face in secret.

He has dug in the darkness—houses; By day they shut themselves up, They have not known light.

When together, morning [is] death-shade to them, When he discerns the terrors of death-shade.

He [is] light on the face of the waters, Their portion is vilified in the earth, He does not turn the way of vineyards.

Drought—also heat—consume snow-waters, Sheol—[those who] have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
20 Camo im ni a pahnim awh vaiteh, tangraet ni katuipoung lah a ca awh han.
The womb forgets him, The worm sweetens [on] him, He is remembered no more, And wickedness is broken as a tree.
21 Bangkongtetpawiteh, cakaroe e hah a rektap teh, lahmainu hanelah hnokahawi lah awmhoeh.
Treating evil the barren [who] does not bear, And he does no good [to] the widow,
22 Hateiteh, Cathut ni athaonae hoi, tami athakaawme taminaw e lamthung hah a raphoe pouh. Hring hane kamcenglah a panue hoeh nakunghai, Ama ni a thaw sak.
And [God] has drawn the mighty by His power, He rises, and none believes in life.
23 A kângue hane a poe teh, hawvah a kâhat sak. A mit teh ahnimae lamthung dawk ao.
He gives to him confidence, and he is supported, And His eyes [are] on their ways.
24 Vai touh hoi tawm lah ao teh, hat hnukkhu hoi a kahma awh. Rahnoum sak la ao teh, ayânaw patetvanlah a kâhmo van han. Cavui patetlah a ke awh.
They were high [for] a little, and they are not, And they have been brought low. They are shut up as all [others], And cut off as the head of an ear of grain.
25 Hot patetlah awm hoeh pawiteh, apini maw na laithoe a tithai han. Ka dei e heh bang hoeh e lah ka coung sak thai e na o awh maw telah a ti.
And if not now, who proves me a liar, And makes my word of nothing?”
