Sam 52
1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe athakaawme tami, bangkong ne thoenae hoi na kambawng. Cathut hawinae teh a kangning yungyoe.
You people [think that you] are strong and brag about the sins that you have committed, while you plan to harm godly people.
2 Na lai ni rawknae heh a sak teh, sam ngawnae pataca patetlah dumyennae hah na sak.
All during the day you plan to get rid of [others]; what you say [MTY] [injures others] like a sharp razor [SIM], and you are [always] deceiving [others].
3 Hawinae hlak thoenae hah na ngaihnawn teh, lannae hlak hai laithoe dei e hah na ngaihnawn. (Selah)
You like [doing what is] evil more than you like doing what is good, and you like telling lies more than you like telling the truth.
4 Nang kadumyenkung lai, pathoenae pueng hah na doun.
You who say things [MTY] to deceive people, you like to say (things that hurt people/cruel things)!
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)
But God will get rid of you forever; he will grab you and drag you from your home and take you away from this world where people are alive.
6 Tamikalannaw ni hmawt awh vaiteh a taki awh han.
When righteous [people] see that, they will be awestruck, and they will laugh at [what happened to] you, and say,
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.
“Look [what happened to] the man who would not ask God to protect him; he trusted that his great wealth [would save him]; he trusted in the money that he got by wickedly taking it from others!”
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 I am [secure/safe because I worship] in God’s temple; I am like a [strong] green olive tree. I trust in God, who faithfully loves us forever.
9 Nang ni na sak dawkvah, a yungyoe na pholen han. Na tami kathoungnaw hmalah na min ka ngaihawi han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hetteh ahawi.
God, I will always thank you for the things that you have done. As I stand before godly [people], I will proclaim that you are good (OR, the many good [MTY] [things you have done for us]).
