Sam 1

1 Kasakkung: Panuekhoeh Tamikathoutnaw e khokhangnae koe ka cet hoeh e tami, tamikayonnaw e lamthung dawk kangdout hoeh e tami, kadudamnaw e kamkhuengnae koe hai ka tahung hoeh e tami,

Blessed is the man who has not followed the counsel of the impious, and has not remained in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the chair of pestilence.

2 BAWIPA e lawk ka ngâi niteh, a kâlawknaw hah karum khodai luepluep ka pouk e tami teh a yawhawi.

But his will is with the law of the Lord, and he will meditate on his law, day and night.

3 Ahni teh tui teng vah ung e, a tue a pha torei ka paw niteh, a hna hai kamyai hoeh e thingkung hoi a kâvan. A tawksak e naw dawk hawinae a hmu han.

And he will be like a tree that has been planted beside running waters, which will provide its fruit in its time, and its leaf will not fall away, and all things whatsoever that he does will prosper.

4 Tamikathoutnaw teh, hottelah laipalah, kahlî ni a palek e cahik hoi a kâvan awh.

Not so the impious, not so. For they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth.

5 Hatdawkvah, tamikathoutnaw teh, lawkcengnae hnin navah kangdout thai awh mahoeh. Tamikayonnaw hai tami kalannaw e kamkhuengnae dawk bawk thai mahoeh.

Therefore, the impious will not prevail again in judgment, nor sinners in the council of the just.

6 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni tami kalannaw e lamthung teh a panue. Tamikathoutnaw e lamthung teh rawknae koe a pha han.

For the Lord knows the way of the just. And the path of the impious will pass away.
