Sam 15

1 Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA, na lukkareiim dawk apimouh kangning han. Na mon kathoung dawk apimouh kaawm han.

Yahweh, who are allowed to enter your Sacred Tent? Who are allowed to live on your sacred mountain?

2 Kângingnae hoi ka hring niteh, lannae a sak laihoi a lung hoi lawkkatang ka dei niteh,

Only those who always do what is right and do not sin may do that. They always say what is true

3 a lai hoi tamthoe ka dei boihoeh niteh, a imri lathueng thoenae sak laipalah, a huinaw min hai ka pathoe boihoeh niteh,

and they do not slander others. They do not do to others things that are wrong, and they do not say bad things about others.

4 tami ka pacekpahleknaw hah a mit hoi khen hoeh, hatei, BAWIPA ka taketnaw hah a bari teh, thoebo laihoi lawk ka kam e teh ama pataw nahanelah ao nakunghai kamlang laipalah,

[Godly people] hate those whom God has rejected, but they respect those who revere Yahweh. They do what they have promised to do even if it causes them trouble to do that.

5 a pung lahoi tangka ka cawi boihoeh niteh, yonnae ka tawn hoeh e koe tadawnghno ka lat boihoeh e naw han doeh. Hot patet e hno ka sak e naw teh, nâtuek hai kâhuen mahoeh.

They lend money to others without charging interest, and they never accept bribes in order to lie about people who have not done what is wrong. Those who do those things will never stop trusting God [even if disastrous things happen to them].
