Sam 36
1 Kathutkung: Devit Tamikathoutnaw ni kâtapoenae dawk ka lungthung hoi ka tâcawt e teh, ahnimae mit dawk Cathut takinae banghai awm hoeh.
To the chief music-maker. Of the servant of the Lord. Of David. The sin of the evil-doer says in his heart, There is no fear of the Lord before his eyes.
2 A payonnae hmawt hoeh, panuek hoeh telah, a mithmu vah amahoima tamikalan lah a kâsak awh.
For he takes comfort in the thought that his sin will not be uncovered and hated.
3 A dei e lawk teh, thoenae hoi dumnae dueng doeh. Kahawi hno sak hane hoi lungang hane hah a pahnawt awh.
In the words of his mouth are evil and deceit; he has given up being wise and doing good.
4 A ikhun van hawihoehnae hah a pouk teh, kahawihoehe lamthung thama lahoi a dawn teh, yonnae hah panuet hoeh.
He gives thought to evil on his bed; he takes a way which is not good; he is not a hater of evil.
5 Oe BAWIPA na pahrennae teh kalvan ao teh, yuem na kamcunae ni tâmai koe a pha.
Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens, and your strong purpose is as high as the clouds.
6 Na lannae teh kalen e mon patetlah ao teh, na lawkcengnae teh ka dungpoung e tui patetlah ao. Oe BAWIPA, tami hoi saringnaw hah ouk na khetyawt.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judging is like the great deep; O Lord, you give life to man and beast.
7 Oe Cathut, na lungpatawnae teh banghloimaw a sungren. Hatdawkvah, tami capanaw ni na tâhlip hah a kâuep awh.
How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings.
8 Na imthung vah, kapap e hnokahawi hoi na boum sak teh, na konawmnae palangtui na nei sak.
The delights of your house will be showered on them; you will give them drink from the river of your pleasures.
9 Nang koe vah hringnae tuikhu teh ao. Na angnae dawkvah, angnae hah ka hmu awh.
For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we will see light.
10 Oe, nang kapanueknaw koe, na lungpatawnae pou awm na seh, lungthin kalannaw koe na lannae kamnuek naseh,
O let there be no end to your loving mercy to those who have knowledge of you, or of your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Kâoupnae khok teh kai taranlahoi tho nahanh seh.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, or the hand of the evil-doers put me out of my place.
12 Haw tueng vah, tamitongthoenaw koung a rawp awh toe. Tâkhawng lah ao awh teh, thaw awh mahoeh toe.
There the workers of evil have come down: they have been made low, and will not be lifted up.
