Sam 1

1 Kasakkung: Panuekhoeh Tamikathoutnaw e khokhangnae koe ka cet hoeh e tami, tamikayonnaw e lamthung dawk kangdout hoeh e tami, kadudamnaw e kamkhuengnae koe hai ka tahung hoeh e tami,

BOOK FIRST: Happy is the man who walketh not in the council of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;

2 BAWIPA e lawk ka ngâi niteh, a kâlawknaw hah karum khodai luepluep ka pouk e tami teh a yawhawi.

But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who doth meditate in his law by day and night.

3 Ahni teh tui teng vah ung e, a tue a pha torei ka paw niteh, a hna hai kamyai hoeh e thingkung hoi a kâvan. A tawksak e naw dawk hawinae a hmu han.

And he shall be like a tree planted by rivulets of water, that yieldeth its fruit in its season, and the leaf of which doth not wither; and all that he may do shall prosper.

4 Tamikathoutnaw teh, hottelah laipalah, kahlî ni a palek e cahik hoi a kâvan awh.

Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Hatdawkvah, tamikathoutnaw teh, lawkcengnae hnin navah kangdout thai awh mahoeh. Tamikayonnaw hai tami kalannaw e kamkhuengnae dawk bawk thai mahoeh.

Therefore shall the wicked not be able to stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni tami kalannaw e lamthung teh a panue. Tamikathoutnaw e lamthung teh rawknae koe a pha han.

For the Lord regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked leadeth to perdition.
