Sam 10
1 Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Oe BAWIPA, bangkongmaw ahlanae koe na kangdue. Bangkongmaw runae tueng nah na kâhro.
Why do you keep far away, O Lord? why are you not to be seen in times of trouble?
2 Tamikathoutnaw ni kâoupnae lahoi tami karoedengnaw hah a rektap awh. A sak awh e ni amamouh letlang man naseh.
The evil-doer in his pride is cruel to the poor; let him be taken by the tricks of his invention.
3 Tamikathoutnaw teh amamae lungngainae dawk ouk a kâoup awh. Kahounlounnaw ni BAWIPA a hnoun awh teh, a dudam awh.
For the evil-doer is lifted up because of the purpose of his heart, and he whose mind is fixed on wealth is turned away from the Lord, saying evil against him.
4 Tamikathoutnaw ni kâoupnae lahoi Cathut tawng ngai awh hoeh. A pouknae dawkvah, Cathut awm hoeh ati awh.
The evil-doer in his pride says, God will not make a search. All his thoughts are, There is no God.
5 Lawkcengnae teh ahni hoi ahla arasang dawkvah, a tarannaw pueng hah a dudam.
His ways are ever fixed; your decisions are higher than he may see: as for his haters, they are as nothing to him.
6 A lungthung hoi, kâhuen mahoeh, nâtuek hai runae kâhmo mahoeh telah a pouk.
He has said in his heart, I will not be moved: through all generations I will never be in trouble.
7 A pahni teh thoebonae, dumnae hoi repcoungroenae lawk hoi akawi. A lai rahim vah runae hoi payonnae teh ao.
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and false words: under his tongue are evil purposes and dark thoughts.
8 Kho tangkuem lampawp koe a tahung teh, tami ni hmuhoehnae koe yonnae ka tawn hoeh e naw hah a thei awh. Tami ka roedeng e hah arulahoi a pawp awh.
He is waiting in the dark places of the towns: in the secret places he puts to death those who have done no wrong: his eyes are secretly turned against the poor.
9 Sendek ni a kâkhu dawk hoi a pawp e patetlah arulahoi tami ouk a pawp. Tami ka roedeng hah man hanlah a pawp. A tamlawk hoi a sawn toteh tami ka roedeng a kâman.
He keeps himself in a secret place like a lion in his hole, waiting to put his hands on the poor man, and pulling him into his net.
10 Hottelah, karoedengnaw hah a thaonae lahoi rawp sak nahanlah, ka rahnoumca lah a tabo awh.
The upright are crushed and made low, and the feeble are overcome by his strong ones.
11 A lungthung hoi, Cathut ni a pahnim toe. A minhmai hai a hro toe. Nâtuek hai hmawt mahoeh toe telah a pouk.
He says in his heart, God has no memory of me: his face is turned away; he will never see it.
12 Oe BAWIPA, thaw haw. Oe Cathut, na kut dâw haw. Kârahnoumnaw hah pahnim hanh.
Up! O Lord; let your hand be lifted: give thought to the poor.
13 Bangkongmaw tamikathoutnaw ni Cathut banglahai a noutna awh hoeh. A lungthung hoi, banglah pouk mahoeh ouk ati awh.
Why has the evil-doer a low opinion of God, saying in his heart, You will not make search for it?
14 Hateiteh, lungreithai hoi runae teh na pakhingpalang teh, na kut hoi moipathung hanlah na hmu toe. Karoedengnaw, teh nang koe a kâhnawng awh teh, nang teh, na pa ka tawn hoeh naw kabawmkung lah na o.
You have seen it; for your eyes are on sorrow and grief, to take it into your hand: the poor man puts his faith in you; you have been the helper of the child who has no father.
15 Tamikathoutnaw hoi tamikayonnaw e kut hah khoe pouh nateh, ceitakhai e awm laipalah, hawihoehnae pueng koung pâphue pouh haw.
Let the arm of the sinner and the evil-doer be broken; go on searching for his sin till there is no more.
16 BAWIPA teh a yungyoe hoi a yungyoe totouh siangpahrang doeh. A ram thung hoi miphunnaw koung a kahma awh.
The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations are gone from his land.
17 Repcoungroe e hoi na pa ka tawn hoeh naw koevah, kângingnae sak hanelah, talai taminaw ni repcoungroe hoeh nahanelah,
Lord, you have given ear to the prayer of the poor: you will make strong their hearts, you will give them a hearing:
18 BAWIPA, kârahnoumnaw e ngainae teh na panue teh, ahnimouh lawkceng hanelah na hnâ teh na pakeng pouh.
To give decision for the child without a father and for the broken-hearted, so that the man of the earth may no longer be feared.
