Psalms 10
1 Why do thou stand afar off, O Jehovah? Why do thou hide thyself in times of trouble?
Aw Angraeng, tipongah kangthla ah nang doet ving loe? Tikhoe raihaih ka tongh naah nang hawk ving loe?
2 In the pride of the wicked man the poor man is hotly pursued. Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.
Kasae kami loe amoek moe, amtang kaminawk to pacaekthlaek; angmacae poeksethaih mah angmacae to naeh nasoe.
3 For the wicked man boasts of his heart's desire. And the greedy man renounces, yea, despises Jehovah.
Kasae kami loe a palung thungah koeh ih baktiah amoek; anih loe kamtlai koeh hmoek kami to thapaek moe, Angraeng to kasae thuih.
4 The wicked man, in the pride of his countenance, says, He will not require it. All his thoughts are, There is no God.
Kasae kami loe, amoek loiah Sithaw to pakrong ai: a poekhaihnawk boih ah Sithaw han ahmuen om ai.
5 His ways are profane at all times. Thy judgments are far above out of his sight. As for all his adversaries, he puffs at them.
Anih ih loklamnawk loe palungsethaih ah oh; nihcae lokcaekhaih loe Sithaw mah paek ih lok hoiah angthla moe, a misanawk to tiah doeh sah ai.
6 He says in his heart, I shall not be moved. To all generations I shall not be in adversity.
Anih mah, Kai loe raihaih ka tong mak ai; natuek naah doeh kam tang mak ai, tiah a poek.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
Anih ih pakha loe kasaethuihaih, amsawnlok thuihaih, alinghaih hoiah koi, anih palai ah loe raihaih hoi sethaih khue ni oh.
8 He sits in the lurking-places of the villages. In the covert places he murders the innocent man. His eyes are secretly set against the poor man.
Anih loe avang taengah anghawk moe, sakpazaehaih tawn ai kami to hum: amtang kami naeh hanah tamquta hoiah a khet.
9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his covert. He lies in wait to catch the poor man. He catches the poor man when he draws him in his net.
Kaipui mah akhaw thung hoi moi angang baktih toengah, anih loe anghawkhaih hoiah a angang: amtang kami to angang moe, anih to angmah taengah phak naah palok hoiah a naeh.
10 He crouches, he bows down, and helpless men fall by his strong men.
Amtang kaminawk a thacakhaih thungah akun o thai hanah, angmah hoi angmah to mi tlim ah kaom thacak ai kami baktiah oh.
11 He says in his heart, God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.
Anih mah palung thung hoiah, Sithaw mah pahnet boeh: a mikhmai to hawk ving boeh, natuek naah doeh hnu mak ai boeh, tiah poek.
12 Arise, O Jehovah, O God, lift up thy hand. Do not forget the poor.
Aw Angraeng, angthawk ah! aw Sithaw, na ban to payangh tahang ah: poek pahnaem kaminawk to pahnet hmah.
13 Why does the wicked man despise God, and say in his heart, Thou will not require it?
Tipongah kasae kami mah Angraeng to kasae thuih loe? Anih loe Angraeng mah kawbangah doeh na naa tang mak ai, tiah a poek.
14 Thou have seen. For thou behold mischief and spite, to repay with thy hand. The poor man commits himself to thee. Thou have been the helper of the fatherless.
Toe nang mah loe na hnuk pae; raihaih hoi pacip paaahaih to na ban hoi lak hanah na khet: amtang kami loe angmah hoi angmah to nang khaeah ang paek; tipongah tih nahaeloe nang loe ampa tawn ai kami bomkung ah na oh.
15 Break thou the arm of the sinner and the evil man. His wickedness shall be sought, and shall not be found.
Sethaih sah kami hoi zaehaih sah kami ih ban to khaek pae ah: a sak ih sethaih hnu ai karoek to pakrong ah.
16 Jehovah is King forever and ever. The nations have perished out of his land.
Angraeng loe dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to Siangpahrang ah oh poe: Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe a prae thung hoiah anghmaa o tih.
17 Jehovah, thou have heard the desire of the humble. Thou will prepare their heart, thou will cause thine ear to hear,
Aw Angraeng, nang loe mi tlim ah khosah kaminawk koehhaih to na panoek pae: nihcae ih palungthin to na caksak:
18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may no more be terrible.
Long kami mah pacaekthlaek let han ai ah, ampa tawn ai kami hoi pacaekthlaekhaih tongh kaminawk, toenghaih hoi lokcaek hanah nihcae qahhaih lok to na tahngaih pae.
