Psalms 10
1 Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?
Aw BOEIPA, balae tih mueirhih tue vaengah a hla la na thuh tih na pai?
2 Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.
Halang kah a hoemnahloh mangdaeng te a hlak dae tangkhuepnah neh a moeh rhoek long te amamih lat a tuuk.
3 For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.
Halang tah a hinglu kah hoehhamnah dongah yan uh tih, aka mueluem loh BOEIPA yah aka bai te a uem.
4 The sinner hath provoked the Lord according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him:
Halang tah oeknah neh a thintoek a khueh. Pathen te toem pawt tih, a thuepnah boeih dongah om pawh.
5 God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times. Thy judgments are removed from his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.
A longpuei a longpuei te a tue boeih ah kilkul. Na laitloeknah te anih hmai lamloh a sang pah. Anih aka daengdaeh boeih khaw amamih te lat a sat.
6 For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
A lungbuei ah, “Thawnpuei lamkah thawnpuei due ka tuen pawt vetih ka yoethae mahpawh,” a ti.
7 His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: under his tongue are labour and sorrow.
A ka dongah olthae olkha, hlangthai palat ya neh hnaephnapnah bae tih a lai dongah thakthaenah neh boethae ni aka om.
8 He sitteth in ambush with the rich in private places, that he may kill the innocent.
Vong kaep kah rhong ah ngol tih, a huephael ah ommongsitoe a ngawn. A mik neh mangdaeng mangtok te a mae uh.
9 His eyes are upon the poor man: He lieth in wait in secret like a lion in his den. He lieth in ambush that he may catch the poor man: to catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.
Mangdaeng te tuuk ham a huephael kah po khuiah sathueng bangla rhongngol. Mangdaeng te a tuuk vaengah amah kah lawk neh a sol.
10 In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.
Te dongah paep la paep tih a ngawm phoeiah tah tatthai khaw a pilnu hmuiah ni mangdaeng mangtok la a cungku.
11 For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face not to see to the end.
A lungbuei ah, “Pathen loh a hnilh coeng, a maelhmai a thuh tih yoeyah la hmu mahpawh,” a ti.
12 Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.
Aw BOEIPA Pathen thoo lah, na kut thueng lah. Mangdaeng kodo te nang loh hnilh boeh.
13 Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.
Balae tih halang loh Pathen yah a bai te amah lungbuei ah, “Nan cae tang mahpawh,” a ti?
14 Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands. To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.
Tedae, na hmuh coeng dongah, thakthaenah neh konoinah, na kut dongah khueh ham na paelki. Namah tah cadah aka bom la na om dongah, na taengah mangdaeng mangtok khaw a hal.
15 Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.
Boethae halang kah a ban te khaem pah. A halangnah te cae pah lamtah hlun boeh.
16 The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.
BOEIPA tah kumhal ah manghai yoeyah tih, a khohmuen kah namtom rhoek tah milh uh ni.
17 The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.
Kodo rhoek kah ngaihlihnah te BOEIPA nang loh na hna neh na hnatung tih, na yaak dongah, a lungbuei na cikngae sak.
18 To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.
Cadah neh hlanghnaep pahnap ham laitloek pah. Diklai lamkah hlanghing taengah, a sarhing ham te koep khoep boel saeh.
