Psalms 10
1 Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? [why] dost thou overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction?
Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Oe BAWIPA, bangkongmaw ahlanae koe na kangdue. Bangkongmaw runae tueng nah na kâhro.
2 While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued: [the wicked] are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.
Tamikathoutnaw ni kâoupnae lahoi tami karoedengnaw hah a rektap awh. A sak awh e ni amamouh letlang man naseh.
3 Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.
Tamikathoutnaw teh amamae lungngainae dawk ouk a kâoup awh. Kahounlounnaw ni BAWIPA a hnoun awh teh, a dudam awh.
4 The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after [him]: God is not before him.
Tamikathoutnaw ni kâoupnae lahoi Cathut tawng ngai awh hoeh. A pouknae dawkvah, Cathut awm hoeh ati awh.
5 His ways are profane at all times; thy judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.
Lawkcengnae teh ahni hoi ahla arasang dawkvah, a tarannaw pueng hah a dudam.
6 For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, [continuing] without evil from generation to generation.
A lungthung hoi, kâhuen mahoeh, nâtuek hai runae kâhmo mahoeh telah a pouk.
7 Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.
A pahni teh thoebonae, dumnae hoi repcoungroenae lawk hoi akawi. A lai rahim vah runae hoi payonnae teh ao.
8 He lies in wait with rich [men] in secret places, in order to slay the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.
Kho tangkuem lampawp koe a tahung teh, tami ni hmuhoehnae koe yonnae ka tawn hoeh e naw hah a thei awh. Tami ka roedeng e hah arulahoi a pawp awh.
9 He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him [after him]: he will bring him down in his snare.
Sendek ni a kâkhu dawk hoi a pawp e patetlah arulahoi tami ouk a pawp. Tami ka roedeng hah man hanlah a pawp. A tamlawk hoi a sawn toteh tami ka roedeng a kâman.
10 He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.
Hottelah, karoedengnaw hah a thaonae lahoi rawp sak nahanlah, ka rahnoumca lah a tabo awh.
11 For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face so as never to look.
A lungthung hoi, Cathut ni a pahnim toe. A minhmai hai a hro toe. Nâtuek hai hmawt mahoeh toe telah a pouk.
12 Arise, O Lord God; let thy hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.
Oe BAWIPA, thaw haw. Oe Cathut, na kut dâw haw. Kârahnoumnaw hah pahnim hanh.
13 Wherefore, has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He will not require [it].
Bangkongmaw tamikathoutnaw ni Cathut banglahai a noutna awh hoeh. A lungthung hoi, banglah pouk mahoeh ouk ati awh.
14 Thou seest [it]; for thou dost observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into thy hands: the poor has been left to thee; thou wast a helper to the orphan.
Hateiteh, lungreithai hoi runae teh na pakhingpalang teh, na kut hoi moipathung hanlah na hmu toe. Karoedengnaw, teh nang koe a kâhnawng awh teh, nang teh, na pa ka tawn hoeh naw kabawmkung lah na o.
15 Break thou the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.
Tamikathoutnaw hoi tamikayonnaw e kut hah khoe pouh nateh, ceitakhai e awm laipalah, hawihoehnae pueng koung pâphue pouh haw.
16 The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish out his land.
BAWIPA teh a yungyoe hoi a yungyoe totouh siangpahrang doeh. A ram thung hoi miphunnaw koung a kahma awh.
17 The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: thine ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart;
Repcoungroe e hoi na pa ka tawn hoeh naw koevah, kângingnae sak hanelah, talai taminaw ni repcoungroe hoeh nahanelah,
18 to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.
BAWIPA, kârahnoumnaw e ngainae teh na panue teh, ahnimouh lawkceng hanelah na hnâ teh na pakeng pouh.
