Sam 52

1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe athakaawme tami, bangkong ne thoenae hoi na kambawng. Cathut hawinae teh a kangning yungyoe.

Why boast thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The loving kindness of God is continual.

2 Na lai ni rawknae heh a sak teh, sam ngawnae pataca patetlah dumyennae hah na sak.

Thy tongue devises wickedness, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3 Hawinae hlak thoenae hah na ngaihnawn teh, lannae hlak hai laithoe dei e hah na ngaihnawn. (Selah)

Thou love evil more than good, and lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)

4 Nang kadumyenkung lai, pathoenae pueng hah na doun.

Thou love all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

5 Hot patetlah Cathut ni kho na saknae hmuen koehoi na pâlei han. Kahringnaw onae ram koehoi na phawk vaiteh, na raphoe vaiteh, a yungyoe na kahma han. (Selah)

God will likewise destroy thee forever. He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)

6 Tamikalannaw ni hmawt awh vaiteh a taki awh han.

The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying,

7 Cathut kâuep laipalah, mae tawnta e kâuep niteh, mae hawihoehnae dawk mangkhak kaawm e hei, khenhaw! hei, tet awh vaiteh, a panuikhai awh han.

Lo, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

8 Kai teh Cathut e im dawk olive thing dikhring e patetlah ka o teh, Cathut e a lungmanae teh a yungyoe ka kâuep han.

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the loving kindness of God forever and ever.

9 Nang ni na sak dawkvah, a yungyoe na pholen han. Na tami kathoungnaw hmalah na min ka ngaihawi han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hetteh ahawi.

I will give thee thanks forever, because thou have done it. And I will hope in thy name in the presence of thy sanctified, for it is good.
