Sam 14

1 Kathutkung: Devit Tamipathu ni a lungthung hoi, Cathut awmhoeh ati. A rawk toe. Panuet ka tho e hno doeh a sak. Hawinae ka sak e awm hoeh toe.

To the Overseer. — By David. A fool hath said in his heart, 'God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.

2 Cathut ka tawng niteh, ka panuek thai e ao han na ou tie panue han ngai dawk, BAWIPA ni kalvan hoi tami capanaw hah a khet cathuk.

Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one — seeking God.

3 Abuemlahoi lam a phen awh teh, cungtalah koung a rawk awh toe. Hawinae kasakkung apihai awmhoeh. Buet touh boehai awmhoeh.

The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

4 Payonnae kasaknaw ni panuenae tawn awh hoeh ma aw. Rawca ca e patetlah ka taminaw hah a ca awh teh, BAWIPA kaw awh hoeh.

Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

5 Hawvah, takinae kalen koe ao awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh tami kalannaw koelah ao.

There they have feared a fear, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

6 Tami karoedengnaw e pouknae teh a kaya sak awh. Hatei, BAWIPA teh ahnimae kânguenae doeh.

The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah [is] his refuge.

7 Oe Isarel rungngangnae teh Zion hoi tâcawt naseh. BAWIPA ni san lah kaawm e taminaw a bankhai toteh, Jakop teh konawm naseh. Isarel hai lunghawi naseh.

'Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice — Israel is glad!
