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,

Heri mtu yule ambaye haendi katika shauri la watu waovu, wala hasimami katika njia ya wenye dhambi, au kuketi katika baraza la wenye mizaha.

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

Bali huifurahia sheria ya Bwana, naye huitafakari hiyo sheria usiku na mchana.

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.

Mtu huyo ni kama mti uliopandwa kando ya vijito vya maji, ambao huzaa matunda kwa majira yake na majani yake hayanyauki. Lolote afanyalo hufanikiwa.

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

Sivyo walivyo waovu! Wao ni kama makapi yapeperushwayo na upepo.

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

Kwa hiyo waovu hawatastahimili hukumu, wala wenye dhambi katika kusanyiko la wenye haki.

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

Kwa maana Bwana huziangalia njia za mwenye haki, bali njia ya waovu itaangamia.
