< Sam 15 >
1 Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA, na lukkareiim dawk apimouh kangning han. Na mon kathoung dawk apimouh kaawm han.
A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who doth sojourn in Thy tent? Who doth dwell in Thy holy hill?
2 Kângingnae hoi ka hring niteh, lannae a sak laihoi a lung hoi lawkkatang ka dei niteh,
He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.
3 a lai hoi tamthoe ka dei boihoeh niteh, a imri lathueng thoenae sak laipalah, a huinaw min hai ka pathoe boihoeh niteh,
He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.
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,
Despised in his eyes [is] a rejected one, And those fearing Jehovah he doth honour. He hath sworn to suffer evil, and changeth not;
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.
His silver he hath not given in usury, And a bribe against the innocent Hath not taken; Whoso is doing these is not moved to the age!
