< Psalms 37 >
1 [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, and be not envious of them that work unrighteousness;
David kah Thaehuet rhoek dongah sai boel lamtah dumlai aka saii taengah thatlai boeh.
2 for they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and fade as the green herb.
Amih te sulr ham bangla pahoi a ah uh vetih bael hing bangla hoo ni.
3 Confide in Jehovah, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on faithfulness;
BOEIPA dongah aka pangtung tih a then aka saii khohmuen ah kho a sa tah uepomnah neh a luem sak.
4 and delight thyself in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
BOEIPA dongah pangdok lamtah na lungbuei kah a huithuinah te nang ham m'paek bitni.
5 Commit thy way unto Jehovah, and rely upon him: he will bring [it] to pass;
Na longpuei te BOEIPA taengah hal lamtah amah dongah pangtung lah. Te vaengah amah loh a saii bitni.
6 and he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
Te dongah na duengnah te khosae bangla, na tiktamnah khaw khothun bangla sae sak.
7 Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him that prospereth in his way, because of the man that bringeth mischievous devices to pass.
BOEIPA taengah duem om lamtah amah te rhingoel lah. Tangkhuepnah aka saii hlang loh a longpuei a thaihtak sak vaengah sai boeh.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself: it [would be] only to do evil.
Thintoek te rhael, na sue khaw hnoo lamtah sai boeh. Thintoek he thaehuet bueng lam ni a pawk.
9 For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait on Jehovah, they shall possess the land.
Thaehuet rhoek te moeng uh vetih a BOEIPA aka lamtawn rhoek loh khohmuen a pang uh ni.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked is not; and thou considerest his place, but he is not.
Tedae kolkalh ah om vetih halang te om mahpawh. A hmuen ham khaw na yakming pah suidae amah om hae mahpawh.
11 But the meek shall possess the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of prosperity.
Tedae kodo rhoek tah khohmuen a pang uh vetih ngaimongnah cungkuem dongah ngailaem uh ni.
12 The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth his teeth against him.
Halang loh hlang dueng te a mangtaeng tih a taengah a no a tah thil.
13 The Lord laugheth at him; for he seeth that his day is coming.
A khohnin halo te a hmuh dongah anih te Boeipa loh a nueih thil.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the afflicted and needy, to slay those that are upright in [the] way:
Halang rhoek loh cunghang a yueh uh tih mangdaeng cungku sak ham neh a thuem longpuei kah khodaeng ngawn ham lii a phuk uh.
15 their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
Tedae amih kah cunghang loh amamih kah lungbuei te a hun pah vetih a liva khaw tlawt ni.
16 The little that the righteous hath is better than the abundance of many wicked;
Aka dueng kah a yol a khueh te halang kah muep a tawn lakah then.
17 for the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.
Halang rhoek kah a ban te khaem vetih hlang dueng te BOEIPA loh a talong ni.
18 Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect; and their inheritance shall be for ever:
Cuemthuek rhoek kah khohnin te BOEIPA loh a ming pah dongah, a rho khaw kumhal duela om ni.
19 they shall not be ashamed in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Yoethaenah tue vaengah yak uh pawt vetih lamlum tue vaengah hah uh ni.
20 For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume, like smoke shall they consume away.
Tedae halang rhoek te milh uh vetih BOEIPA kah thunkha thunhling te rhamtlim paithen bangla hmata ni. Hmaikhu bangla khumpael ni.
21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; but the righteous is gracious and giveth:
Halang loh a pu vaengah thuung pawt dae hlang dueng long tah a rhen tih a paek.
22 for those blessed of him shall possess the land, and they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.
Amah kah yoethen a paek rhoek loh khohmuen a pang uh tih a tap rhoek te moeng uh ni.
23 The steps of a man are established by Jehovah, and he delighteth in his way:
BOEIPA loh hlang kah khokan a cikngae sak tih a longpuei khaw a ngaih pah.
24 though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholdeth his hand.
BOEIPA loh a kut a talong pah dongah, cungku cakhaw hlah mahpawh.
25 I have been young, and now am old, and I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread:
Camoe la ka om tih ka patong coeng dae hlang dueng a hnoo dongah a tiingan loh buh a bih te ka hmuh noek moenih.
26 all the day he is gracious and lendeth, and his seed shall be a blessing.
Hnin takuem a moeihoeih tih cang pu a hlah dongah a tiingan kah yoethennah la poeh.
27 Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore;
A thae te nong tak lamtah a then saii lah. Te daengah ni kumhal duela kho na sak eh.
28 for Jehovah loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: They are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
BOEIPA loh tiktamnah a ngaih dongah a hlangcim rhoek a hnoo mueh la kumhal due a ngaithuen. Tedae halang kah tiingan te a khoe.
29 The righteous shall possess the land, and dwell therein for ever.
Hlang dueng loh khohmuen a pang vetih a khuiah yoeyah la kho a sak ni.
30 The mouth of the righteous proffereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh judgment;
Hlang dueng kah a ka loh cueihnah a thuep tih a lai loh tiktamnah a thui.
31 the law of his God is in his heart; his goings shall not slide.
A Pathen kah olkhueng loh a lungbuei ah hing tih a khokan khaw paloe pawh.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him:
Halang loh hlang dueng te a tawt tih ngawn ham a tlap.
33 Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
BOEIPA loh hlang dueng te halang kut ah hnoo pawt vetih laitloek vaengah anih te boe sak mahpawh.
34 Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to possess the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].
BOEIPA te lamtawn lamtah a long te vai. Te vaengah khohmuen pang sak ham nang n'pomsang vetih halang rhoek a phae te na hmuh ni.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading like a green tree in its native soil:
Halang hlanghaeng ka hmuh vaengah thinghing mupoe bangla daih.
36 but he passed away, and behold, he was not; and I sought him, but he was not found.
Tedae a khumpael vanneh anih te vik om voelpawh. Anih te ka tlap van dae ka hmu voelpawh.
37 Mark the perfect, and behold the upright, for the end of [that] man is peace;
Ngaimong hlang ham khohmai a om pueng dongah a cuemthuek ke dawn lamtah a thuem ke hmu lah.
38 but the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
Tedae boekoek rhoek te mitmoeng uh vetih halang rhoek kah hmailong khaw boeih a khat ni.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
Te dongah hlang dueng rhoek kah loeihnah he BOEIPA taengkah la om tih citcai tue vaengah amih ham lunghim la om.
40 And Jehovah will help them and deliver them: he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; for they trust in him.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh amih te a bom tih a hlawt. BOEIPA ah a ying uh dongah halang kut lamkah amih te a hlawt tih a khang.
