< Psalms 58 >

1 To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. Michtam. Of David. Is there righteousness in your mouths, O you gods? are you upright judges, O you sons of men?
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih miktam. Anih ih bungmu to paro hmah. Aw kaminawk, na thuih o ih loknawk loe toeng tangtang hmang maw? Aw kaminawk, katoeng ah lok na caek o hmang maw?
2 The purposes of your hearts are evil; your hands are full of cruel doings on the earth.
Tangtang ni, palung thung hoiah kasae na poek o, na bannawk mah long nuiah athii to palong o.
3 The evil-doers are strange from the first; from the hour of their birth they go out of the true way, saying false words.
Kasae kaminawk loe zok thung hoiah ni a set o roe boeh; tapen tangsuek nathuem hoiah loklam amkhraeng o boeh moe, lok amlai o boeh.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a snake; they are like the adder, whose ears are shut;
Nihcae ih kasoe loe pahui kasoe baktiah oh moe, naa pang pahui sae baktiah a oh o;
5 Who will not be moved by the voice of the wonder-worker, however great are his powers.
kawkruk ah thoemhaih hoiah thuih pae khing cadoeh, thuikungnawk ih lok to tahngai mak ai.
6 O God, let their teeth be broken in their mouths; let the great teeth of the young lions be pulled out, O Lord.
Aw Sithaw, nihcae pakha thung ih haanawk to khaek pae ah; Aw Angraeng, saning nawk kaipui ih anonawk to khaek pae ah.
7 Let them be turned to liquid like the ever-flowing waters; let them be cut off like the grass by the way.
Nihcae loe kalong tui baktiah kang o boih nasoe; kalii anueng moe, kah o naah, palaanawk to angkhaek pae boih nasoe.
8 Let them be like an after-birth which is turned to water and comes to an end; like the fruit of a woman who gives birth before her time, let them not see the sun.
Nihcae loe longnat mah caeh naah atui amkaw noehnoeh baktih, atue pha ai ah tapen nongpata mah ni aengh hnu ai baktih toengah, dueh o boih nasoe.
9 Before they are conscious of it, let them be cut down like thorns; let a strong wind take them away like waste growth.
Nang ih laomnawk mah soekhring thing hoi tik ih hmai kabae panoek ai naah, kahing soekhring kung hoi hmai kangqong soekhring kung to, kamhae takhi mah hmut phaeng nasoe.
10 The upright man will be glad when he sees their punishment; his feet will be washed in the blood of the evil-doer.
Kami katoeng loe lulakhaih hnuk naah anghoe tih; anih loe kasae kaminawk ih athii hoiah a khok to pasae tih.
11 So that men will say, Truly there is a reward for righteousness; truly there is a God who is judge on the earth.
To naah kaminawk mah, katoeng kaminawk hanah tangqum loe oh tangtang; anih loe long lokcaekkung Sithaw tangtang ni, tiah thui o tih.
