Psalms 10
1 Why stand you afar off, O Lord? [why] do you overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction?
Aw Bawipa, kawtih ak hla na nang dyih? Kyinaak a awm huiawh kawtih nang thuh qu valh?
2 While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued: [the wicked] are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.
Ak oek qu soeih thlak che ing tha amak awm thlangkhqi, amah ing teng nawh am tu thlangkhqi ce hquut hy.
3 Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.
Ak kawlung hymnaak awh oek qu nawh; ak lawn na ak ngaih ce zoeksang nawh Bawipa taw hlah phlam hy.
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.
Ak oek qu thlak che ingtaw amah ingkaw amah am sui qu nawh; Ak poeknaak boeih awh Khawsa ham hun qoe am awm hy.
5 His ways are profane at all times; your judgements are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.
A lamkhqi boeih awh a zo awm hy. Anaa a hqam aih awh nang a cawngpyinaak awi ing hla qu hy nih; a qaalkhqi boeih ce huhsitnaak ing qaih na hy.
6 For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, [continuing] without evil from generation to generation.
Amah ingtaw, Ikaw ingawm am ning tah sak tikaw; zeel loet nyng saw kyinaak am hu tang tikawng” tinawh poek hy.
7 Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.
Anih am kha taw seet lawhnaak, qaainaak ingkaw kqih am hqinnaak ing be hy, am lai awh awm kyinaak ingkaw seetnaak doek khoeih ni.
8 He lies in wait with rich [men] in secret places, in order to kill the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.
Khawkeng imceng khqi awh ngawi nawh, ak awm poek poek khqi ce mam nawh him hy.
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.
Sendeih ing ak kawk khui awhkawng a qeh dym amyihna, a hlip naak awh qeh hy, hulkung amak awm thlang ce tu aham qeh nawh; bawmkung amak awmkhqi ce lawk ing sing hy.
10 He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.
A thekhanaak thlangkhqi ce kqih am hqin hy; cekkhqi ce ak thaawmnaak khuiawh tlaak sak khqi hy.
11 For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face so as never to look.
Amah ingtaw Khawsa ing hilh hawh hy; a hai sing khoep nawh am hu thai voel hy” tina poek hy.
12 Arise, O Lord God; let your hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.
Aw Bawipa, tho hlah! Aw Khawsa na kut thlek hlah, hulkung amak ta thlangkhqi ce koeh hilh.
13 Therefore, has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He will not require [it].
Thlak che ing kawtih Bawipa a thekha naak? Ikawtih amah ingkaw amah, “Ikaw am ni tina tang”, tina ak poek hy voei?
14 You see [it]; for you do observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into your hands: the poor has been left to you; you were a helper to the orphan.
Cehlai aw Khawsa, kyinaak ingkaw ko kqangnaak ve toek nawhtaw; na kut khuiawh lawh aham poek lah. Kyinaak ak hukhqi ing nang a venawh pe qu unawh, pa amak takhqi ak hulkung na awm hyk ti.
15 Break you the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.
Thlak chekhqi ingkaw thlak thawlh a baan ce hqem pe nawh; huh thai na ama awm hlan dy awh a thawlhnaak ce tlet pe lah.
16 The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: you Gentiles shall perish out his land.
Bawipa taw kumqui awhkawng kumqui dy sangpahrang na awm hy; pilnam thlangkhqi taw a kut awhkawng kqeng bang kawm uh.
17 The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: your ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart;
Aw Bawipa, khuikha ak hukhqi a ngaihnaak ce zaak penawh; tha na peek coengawh, cekkhqi ang kqangnaak awi ce ngai pe hyk ti.
18 to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.
Pa amak takhqi ingkaw a thenaak khqi ce dyih pyi nawh, khawmdek thlangkhqi ing cekkhqi ce am huhsit hqa voel hy.
