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.
Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye 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.
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in 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.
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4 Asue teh hrunthoesue patetlah ao. A hnâ ka pang e tahrun a hnâ pahru e patetlah ao.
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
5 Hote tahrun ni teh tahrun camnae lawk hai thai thai hoeh. Camnae la sak e hai thai thai hoeh.
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6 Oe Cathut, a kâko e hâ hah khoe pouh haw. Oe BAWIPA, athakaawme sendek nônaw hah khoe pouh haw.
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Yhwh.
7 Ka lawng lahun e tui patetlah kahmat awh naseh. Licung a sawn awh toteh, ahnimae palanaw teh koung kâkhoe naseh.
Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
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.
As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may 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 pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
10 Tamikalannaw ni hot patetlah e reknae hah a hmu awh toteh, a konawm awh han.
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
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.
So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
