Sam 58
1 Kathutkung: Devit Nangmouh duem na kaawm e naw, lannae lawk hah na dei awh katang maw. Oe tami capanaw kalanlah lawk na ceng awh maw.
Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title. If, truly and certainly, you speak justice, then judge what is right, you sons of men.
2 Na ceng awh hoeh, na lungthung vah, hawihoehnae na sak awh. Talaivan na kut hoi thamanae yawcu hoi na khing awh.
For, even in your heart, you work iniquity. Your hands construct injustice on the earth.
3 Tamikathoutnaw teh, von thung hoi lam a payon awh toe. A tâco awh tahma vah, laithoe dei laihoi lam a payon awh.
Sinners have become foreigners from the womb; they have gone astray from conception. They have been speaking falsehoods.
4 Asue teh hrunthoesue patetlah ao. A hnâ ka pang e tahrun a hnâ pahru e patetlah ao.
Their fury is similar to that of a serpent; it is like a deaf asp, who even blocks her ears,
5 Hote tahrun ni teh tahrun camnae lawk hai thai thai hoeh. Camnae la sak e hai thai thai hoeh.
who will not listen to the voice of charmers, nor even to the enchanter who chants wisely.
6 Oe Cathut, a kâko e hâ hah khoe pouh haw. Oe BAWIPA, athakaawme sendek nônaw hah khoe pouh haw.
God will crush their teeth within their own mouth. The Lord will break the molars of the lions.
7 Ka lawng lahun e tui patetlah kahmat awh naseh. Licung a sawn awh toteh, ahnimae palanaw teh koung kâkhoe naseh.
They will come to nothing, like water flowing away. He has aimed his bow, while they are being weakened.
8 A cei lahun nah kahmat e kongkaraw patetlah kahmat awh naseh. Camo karawk e ni kanî a hmu hoeh e patetlah awm awh naseh.
Like wax that flows, they will be carried away. Fire has fallen upon them, and they will not see the sun.
9 Pâkhing pho hoi patawi e hmai, hlaam a bet hoehnahlan vah, kahring e pâkhing pho hoi hmai ka kang e pâkhing phonaw teh, bongparui ni cetkhai naseh.
Before your thorns could know the brier, he consumes them alive, as if in rage.
10 Tamikalannaw ni hot patetlah e reknae hah a hmu awh toteh, a konawm awh han.
The just one will rejoice when he sees vindication. He will wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
11 Tamikathoutnaw e thi dawk a khok a pâsu awh han. Hottelah tami ni, ayânaw hanelah tawkphu ao tie hoi lawkcengkung Cathut ao katang ati awh han.
And man will say, “If the just one is fruitful, then, truly, there is a God judging them on earth.”
