Psalms 37
1 By David. Do not fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
Ik-oeih che ak saikhqi awh ce nak kaw koeh seet sak nawhtaw ik-oeih amak thym ak sai thlangkhqi awm koeh nai.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb.
Cekkhqi taw qam amyihna reu naai kawm usaw qam saihqing amyihna thi naai bit kawm uh.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
Bawipa ypna nawhtaw ik-oeih leek ce sai lah; ve qam khuiawh awm nawh qamhqing ve ngaihding ing awm sih lah.
4 Also delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Bawipa awh zeelnaak ta lah, nak kawlung hym ngaihnaakkhqi ce amah ing ni pe bit kaw.
5 Commit your way to the LORD. Trust also in him, and he will do this:
Na cehnaak lam ce Bawipa awh hal lah; amah ce ypna lah amah ing sai law bit kaw:
6 he will make your righteousness shine out like light, and your justice as the noon day sun.
Anih ing na dyngnaak ce mymcang khaw amyihna bee law sak kaw, ak thym ik-oeih na sainaak awm khawnghyp khawmik amyihna bee law sak kaw.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him. Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
Bawipa haiawh awm poek poek nawhtaw kaw dungnaak ing amah ce qeh lah; thlangkhqi ing a ik-oeih sai awh nak kaw koeh tlawh sak.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.
Kawsonaak ce re nawhtaw kaw tawknaak awhkawng hlat lah; nam thim koeh tlawh sak - ce ing ce ak che ben doek khoeih awh ni ani hquisawi hly.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
Ikawtih, thlak chekhqi taw moelh a moeng kawm uh, cehlai Bawipa awh ngaih-unaak ak takhqi ingtaw qam ce pang kawm uh.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he is not there.
Kawlhkalh awh, thlak chekhqi taw am awm voel tikaw; cekkhqi ce sui tik seiawm, am hu voel kawp ti.
11 But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Cehlai kaw ak daw thlangkhqi ingtaw qam ce pang kawmsaw ak bau qoep ang quinaak ing nawm kawm uh.
12 The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.
Thlak che ingtaw thlak leek ce teng nawh a ha tah sih hy;
13 The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.
Cehlai Bawipa ing thlak che ce qaih na hy, cekkhqi a tym ce law huili hawh hy ti a sim dawngawh.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright on the path.
Thlakche ing khawdengkhqi ingkaw ak voethlauh khqi ce tluk sak aham ingkaw lap dyng awh ak cetkhqi ce him aham zawzi ce phlawng nawh licung ce hawi hy.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.
Cehlai a mimah ak zawzi ing a mimah a lingbyi nawn ce sun pek khqi kawmsaw ami licungkhqi awm ek pek khqi kaw.
16 Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.
Thlak che a boeinaak anglakawh thlakdyng ing a khoeh ca a taak ce nep bet hy.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
Cehlai thlak che ak thaawmnaak taw ek kawmsaw, thlakdyng cetaw Bawipa ing tu kaw.
18 The LORD knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.
Coet amak kap qoe thlangkhqi a khawnyn ce Bawipa ing sim pehy, a qopang hly kawi awm kumqui dyna cak loet kaw.
19 They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Plawcinaak atym a pha awh ce am zai kawm uh; khawseet khawkha awh awm khawzah ta kawm uh.
20 But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of the LORD shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish— vanish like smoke.
Cehlai thlak chekhqi taw qeeng kawm uh; Bawipa a qaalkhqi taw qam a leeknaak amyihna ni ami awm hly, qeng bang kawm usaw mai khu amyihna ding bang kawm uh.
21 The wicked borrow, and do not pay back, but the righteous give generously.
Thlak che ingtaw pu hlai hy am thung voel hy, cehlai thlakdyng ingtaw khawboe cawnnaak ing pehy.
22 For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
Bawipa ing zosennaak a peek khqi ing qam ce pang kawm uh, cehlai kawsi ak hawi thlangkhqi taw milh a moeng kawm uh.
23 A man’s steps are established by the LORD. He delights in his way.
A cehnaak awh BawipaK kaw ak law sak thlang taw, a khaw kan cak pe sak hy;
24 Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for the LORD holds him up with his hand.
Bah seiawm, am tlu tikaw, Bawipa ing a kut ing tu hy.
25 I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.
Thak awm hui na hang awm hawh nyng saw tuh taw pacawng hawh nyng, thlakdyng cehtaak na ak awm am hu khawi hlan nyng saw a cakhqi ing buh ami thoeh awm am hu khawi hlan nyng.
26 All day long he deals graciously, and lends. His offspring is blessed.
Khawboe cawnnaak ing thlang amik pu poepa dawngawh a cakhqi ing zosennaak hu kawm uh.
27 Depart from evil, and do good. Live securely forever.
Ik-oeih che cehta nawh ik-oeih leek sai lah; cawhtaw qam khuiawh kumqui dyna awm kawp ti.
28 For the LORD loves justice, and does not forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
Bawipa ing thlakdyng ce a lungnaak dawngawh amah a ypawm thlangkhqi a cadilkhqi taw moelh sak kaw;
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever.
Thlakdyng ingtaw qam ce pang kawmsaw, ak khuiawh kumqui dyna awm kaw.
30 The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. His tongue speaks justice.
Thlakdyng am kha ingtaw cyihnaak awi sa nawh, am lai ing awih thym ce kqawn hy.
31 The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.
A Khawsak a cawngpyinaak awi ce ak kawlung khuiawh khoem nawh; a khaw am bah hy.
32 The wicked watch the righteous, and seek to kill him.
Thlak che ingtaw thlakdyngkhqi ce him aham ngawih sih poepa hy;
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
Cehlai Bawipa ing cekkhqi kut awh am cehta hyt ti kawmsaw awidengnaak a awm awh awm am thawlh sak tikaw.
34 Wait for the LORD, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
Bawipa ce qeh nawhtaw a lam ce hquut loet lah. Qam pang sak aham nang ce ni zoeksang kaw; thlak chekhqi moelh sak na ami awm ce hu kawp ti.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
Ang lai boet na nawh a hqing sup na ak hlul thing amyihna ak awm thlak che ingkaw, thlang qeenkhaw amak ngai thlang ce hu nyng,
36 But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Cehlai kawlhkalh awh anih ce khum bang kawmsaw am awm voel tikaw; sui nyng awm, huh thai na am awm voel kaw.
37 Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.
Coet amak kap thlangkhqi ce poek nawhtaw, thlakdyngkhqi ce hat lah; qoepnaak ak sai thlangkhqi ingtaw cadil ta kaw.
38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
Thlak thawlhkhqi taw hqe na awm kawm usaw; thlak chekhqi a cadilkhqi awm moelh kawm uh.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
Thlakdyng hulnaak taw Bawipa ven awhkawng law nawh; kyinaak ami huh awh anih taw cekkhqi ham vawngnu na awm pehy.
40 The LORD helps them and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.
Bawipa ing cekkhqi ce hul nawh thaawng hy; amah awh ang thuk dawngawh, thlak chekhqi anglakawhkawng hul nawh thaawng hy.
