Sam 49
1 Kathutkung: Korah capanaw Tamimaya hetheh thai awh haw. Talai van kaawm e pueng thai awh haw.
Unto the end, a psalm for the sons of Core. Hear these things, all ye nations: give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.
2 Ka rahnoum hoi ka rasang, ka tawnta hoi ka mathoe pueng cungtalah thai awh haw.
All you that are earthborn, and you sons of men: both rich and poor together.
3 Ka kâko ni lungangnae lawk a dei han. Hahoi, ka lungthin khopouknae ni panuethainae a poe han.
My mouth shall speak wisdom: and the meditation of my heart understanding.
4 Cingthuilawk koe lah ka hnâ ka pakeng vaiteh, lawk ka ru ka dei e hah, ka ratoung hoi ka cai sak han.
I will incline my ear to a parable; I will open my proposition on the psaltery.
5 Thoenae ni na kalup navah, bangkongmaw hnin kathout nah ka taki han.
Why shall I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall encompass me.
6 Ahnimouh teh amamae hnopai hah a kâuep awh teh, a tawnta awh e dawk ka kâoup awh nakunghai,
They that trust in their own strength, and glory in the multitude of their riches,
7 amamae hmaunawngha apinihai ratang thai mahoeh. Ratangnae phu Cathut koe poe thai hoeh.
No brother can redeem, nor shall man redeem: he shall not give to God his ransom,
8 Ahnimae hringnae ratang nahane aphu apap poung. Hatdawkvah, nâtuek hai poe hane khout thai hoeh.
Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: and shall labour for ever,
9 Ratang pawiteh, a yungyoe a hring han doeh. Pawknae koe phat mahoeh.
And shall still live unto the end.
10 Tamilungkaang hai a due. Hot patetvanlah, tamipathu hoi bangpuibangpa lah kaawm hoeh e hai a due van. Hahoi, hnopainaw hah ayânaw hanelah a ceitakhai awh tie hah a hmu awh.
He shall not see destruction, when he shall see the wise dying: the senseless and the fool shall perish together: And they shall leave their riches to strangers:
11 A lungthung hoi teh amamae im hah a yungyoe kangning hanelah a pouk awh. A onae im hah se pueng dawk kangning hanelah a pouk awh. Amamae ram hah a min a phu sak awh.
And their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever. Their dwelling places to all generations: they have called their lands by their names.
12 Hatei, tami heh bari lah ao eiteh, kangning hoeh. Kahmakatanae koe ka phat e saring patetlah doeh ao.
And man when he was in honour did not understand; he is compared to senseless beasts, and is become like to them.
13 Hethateh tamipathunaw e lamthung doeh. Hahoi, a catounnaw hai a dei awh e patetlah ao awh.
This way of theirs is a stumblingblock to them: and afterwards they shall delight in their mouth.
14 A duenae hmuen koelah ceikhai e tu patetlah ao awh. Duenae ni a ca awh han. Tamikalannaw ni khodai toteh a uk awh han. A onae hmuen koehoi ahlanae hmuen koe a takthai meihawinae naw teh, phuen vah koung a pawk han. (Sheol h7585)
They are laid in hell like sheep: death shall feed upon them. And the just shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their help shall decay in hell from their glory. (Sheol h7585)
15 Hatei, ka hringnae hateh, Cathut ni phuen thaonae koehoi a ratang han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ama ni na coe han. (Sheol h7585)
But God will redeem my soul from the hand of hell, when he shall receive me. (Sheol h7585)
16 Tami buet touh a tawnta teh, a imthungkhu bawilennae hoi hoehoe a kâthap navah, taket hanh.
Be not thou afraid, when a man shall be made rich, and when the glory of his house shall be increased.
17 Bangkongtetpawiteh, a due toteh banghai sin thai kalawn mahoeh. A bawilennae ni hai kâbang sin kalawn mahoeh.
For when he shall die he shall take nothing away; nor shall his glory descend with him.
18 A hring nathung yawhawi kacoepounge lah kâpouk nakunghai, na tawnta dawkvah tami ni ka pholen nakunghai,
For in his lifetime his soul will be blessed: and he will praise thee when thou shalt do well to him.
19 a napanaw ceinae koe a cei van vaiteh, nâtuek hai kho ang hmawt thai awh mahoeh toe.
He shall go in to the generations of his fathers: and he shall never see light.
20 Tami ni bari e lah ao eiteh, panuethainae ka tawn hoeh e teh, saring kahmakata e patetlah doeh ao.
Man when he was in honour did not understand: he hath been compared to senseless beasts, and made like to them.
