< Sam 53 >
1 Kathutkung: Devit Tamipathu niteh, a lungthung hoi Cathut awm hoeh ati awh. Ka rawk niteh, panuet ka tho e payonnae hah a sak awh teh, hawinae kasakkung awm awh hoeh.
The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity. There is none who does good.
2 Thaipanueknae ka tawn e tami hoi Cathut ka tawng e tami ao han vaimoe titeh panue han a ngai dawkvah, Cathut ni kalvan hoi talai van a khet cathuk.
God looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who understood, who seek after God.
3 Tami pueng koung a payon awh teh, koung a rawk awh. Hawinae kasakkung awm hoeh. Buet touh boehai awm hoeh.
Every one of them has gone back. They have together become filthy. There is none who does good, no, not one.
4 Vaiyei ca e patetlah ka taminaw hah a ca awh teh, Cathut ka kaw hoeh e tamikathoutnaw panueknaen tawn laipalah maw ao awh.
Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon God?
5 Taki hane ohoehnae koe puenghoi a taki awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang na kalup niteh, na ka tarannaw e hru teh Cathut ni paringparang a kâyat sak. Ahnimouh teh Cathut ni a takhoe dawkvah, kayayeirai phu hoi ao sak han.
There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against thee. Thou have put them to shame because God has rejected them.
6 Oe Isarel rungngangnae teh Zion hoi tâcawt naseh. San lah kaawm e taminaw Cathut ni bout a tâcokhai toteh, Jakop konawm naseh, Isarel lunghawi naseh.
O that the salvation of Israel came out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
