Psalms 37
1 A psalm for David himself. Be not emulous of evildoers; nor envy them that work iniquity.
Ik-oeih che ak saikhqi awh ce nak kaw koeh seet sak nawhtaw ik-oeih amak thym ak sai thlangkhqi awm koeh nai.
2 For they shall shortly wither away as grass, and as the green herbs shall quickly fall.
Cekkhqi taw qam amyihna reu naai kawm usaw qam saihqing amyihna thi naai bit kawm uh.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches.
Bawipa ypna nawhtaw ik-oeih leek ce sai lah; ve qam khuiawh awm nawh qamhqing ve ngaihding ing awm sih lah.
4 Delight in the Lord, and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.
Bawipa awh zeelnaak ta lah, nak kawlung hym ngaihnaakkhqi ce amah ing ni pe bit kaw.
5 Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, and he will do it.
Na cehnaak lam ce Bawipa awh hal lah; amah ce ypna lah amah ing sai law bit kaw:
6 And he will bring forth thy justice as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
Anih ing na dyngnaak ce mymcang khaw amyihna bee law sak kaw, ak thym ik-oeih na sainaak awm khawnghyp khawmik amyihna bee law sak kaw.
7 Be subject to the Lord and pray to him Envy not the man who prospereth in his way; the man who doth unjust things.
Bawipa haiawh awm poek poek nawhtaw kaw dungnaak ing amah ce qeh lah; thlangkhqi ing a ik-oeih sai awh nak kaw koeh tlawh sak.
8 Cease from anger, and leave rage; have no emulation to do evil.
Kawsonaak ce re nawhtaw kaw tawknaak awhkawng hlat lah; nam thim koeh tlawh sak - ce ing ce ak che ben doek khoeih awh ni ani hquisawi hly.
9 For the evildoers shall be cut off: but they that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the land.
Ikawtih, thlak chekhqi taw moelh a moeng kawm uh, cehlai Bawipa awh ngaih-unaak ak takhqi ingtaw qam ce pang kawm uh.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.
Kawlhkalh awh, thlak chekhqi taw am awm voel tikaw; cekkhqi ce sui tik seiawm, am hu voel kawp ti.
11 But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight in abundance of peace.
Cehlai kaw ak daw thlangkhqi ingtaw qam ce pang kawmsaw ak bau qoep ang quinaak ing nawm kawm uh.
12 The sinner shall watch the just man: and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.
Thlak che ingtaw thlak leek ce teng nawh a ha tah sih hy;
13 But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foreseeth that his day shall come.
Cehlai Bawipa ing thlak che ce qaih na hy, cekkhqi a tym ce law huili hawh hy ti a sim dawngawh.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword: they have bent their bow. To cast down the poor and needy, to kill the upright of heart.
Thlakche ing khawdengkhqi ingkaw ak voethlauh khqi ce tluk sak aham ingkaw lap dyng awh ak cetkhqi ce him aham zawzi ce phlawng nawh licung ce hawi hy.
15 Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
Cehlai a mimah ak zawzi ing a mimah a lingbyi nawn ce sun pek khqi kawmsaw ami licungkhqi awm ek pek khqi kaw.
16 Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the wicked.
Thlak che a boeinaak anglakawh thlakdyng ing a khoeh ca a taak ce nep bet hy.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; but the Lord strengtheneth the just.
Cehlai thlak che ak thaawmnaak taw ek kawmsaw, thlakdyng cetaw Bawipa ing tu kaw.
18 The Lord knoweth the days of undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
Coet amak kap qoe thlangkhqi a khawnyn ce Bawipa ing sim pehy, a qopang hly kawi awm kumqui dyna cak loet kaw.
19 They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled:
Plawcinaak atym a pha awh ce am zai kawm uh; khawseet khawkha awh awm khawzah ta kawm uh.
20 Because the wicked shall perish. And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke.
Cehlai thlak chekhqi taw qeeng kawm uh; Bawipa a qaalkhqi taw qam a leeknaak amyihna ni ami awm hly, qeng bang kawm usaw mai khu amyihna ding bang kawm uh.
21 The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; but the just sheweth mercy and shall give.
Thlak che ingtaw pu hlai hy am thung voel hy, cehlai thlakdyng ingtaw khawboe cawnnaak ing pehy.
22 For such as bless him shall inherit the land: but such as curse him shall perish.
Bawipa ing zosennaak a peek khqi ing qam ce pang kawm uh, cehlai kawsi ak hawi thlangkhqi taw milh a moeng kawm uh.
23 With the Lord shall the steps of a man be directed, and he shall like well his way.
A cehnaak awh BawipaK kaw ak law sak thlang taw, a khaw kan cak pe sak hy;
24 When he shall fall he shall not be bruised, for the Lord putteth his hand under him.
Bah seiawm, am tlu tikaw, Bawipa ing a kut ing tu hy.
25 I have been young, and now am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.
Thak awm hui na hang awm hawh nyng saw tuh taw pacawng hawh nyng, thlakdyng cehtaak na ak awm am hu khawi hlan nyng saw a cakhqi ing buh ami thoeh awm am hu khawi hlan nyng.
26 He sheweth mercy, and lendeth all the day long; and his seed shall be in blessing.
Khawboe cawnnaak ing thlang amik pu poepa dawngawh a cakhqi ing zosennaak hu kawm uh.
27 Decline from evil and do good, and dwell for ever and ever.
Ik-oeih che cehta nawh ik-oeih leek sai lah; cawhtaw qam khuiawh kumqui dyna awm kawp ti.
28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: they shall be preserved for ever. The unjust shall be punished, and the seed of the wicked shall perish.
Bawipa ing thlakdyng ce a lungnaak dawngawh amah a ypawm thlangkhqi a cadilkhqi taw moelh sak kaw;
29 But the just shall inherit the land, and shall dwell therein for evermore.
Thlakdyng ingtaw qam ce pang kawmsaw, ak khuiawh kumqui dyna awm kaw.
30 The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom: and his tongue shall speak judgment.
Thlakdyng am kha ingtaw cyihnaak awi sa nawh, am lai ing awih thym ce kqawn hy.
31 The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be supplanted.
A Khawsak a cawngpyinaak awi ce ak kawlung khuiawh khoem nawh; a khaw am bah hy.
32 The wicked watcheth the just man, and seeketh to put him to death,
Thlak che ingtaw thlakdyngkhqi ce him aham ngawih sih poepa hy;
33 But the Lord will not leave in his hands; nor condemn him when he shall be judged.
Cehlai Bawipa ing cekkhqi kut awh am cehta hyt ti kawmsaw awidengnaak a awm awh awm am thawlh sak tikaw.
34 Expect the Lord and keep his way: and he will exalt thee to inherit the land: when the sinners shall perish thou shalt see.
Bawipa ce qeh nawhtaw a lam ce hquut loet lah. Qam pang sak aham nang ce ni zoeksang kaw; thlak chekhqi moelh sak na ami awm ce hu kawp ti.
35 I have seen the wicked highly exalted, and lifted up like the cedars of Libanus.
Ang lai boet na nawh a hqing sup na ak hlul thing amyihna ak awm thlak che ingkaw, thlang qeenkhaw amak ngai thlang ce hu nyng,
36 And I passed by, and lo, he was not: and I sought him and his place was not found.
Cehlai kawlhkalh awh anih ce khum bang kawmsaw am awm voel tikaw; sui nyng awm, huh thai na am awm voel kaw.
37 Keep innocence, and behold justice: for there are remnants for the peaceable man.
Coet amak kap thlangkhqi ce poek nawhtaw, thlakdyngkhqi ce hat lah; qoepnaak ak sai thlangkhqi ingtaw cadil ta kaw.
38 But the unjust shall be destroyed together: the remnants of the wicked shall perish.
Thlak thawlhkhqi taw hqe na awm kawm usaw; thlak chekhqi a cadilkhqi awm moelh kawm uh.
39 But the salvation of the just is from the Lord, and he is their protector in the time of trouble.
Thlakdyng hulnaak taw Bawipa ven awhkawng law nawh; kyinaak ami huh awh anih taw cekkhqi ham vawngnu na awm pehy.
40 And the Lord will help them and deliver them: and he will rescue them from the wicked, and save them, because they have hoped in him.
Bawipa ing cekkhqi ce hul nawh thaawng hy; amah awh ang thuk dawngawh, thlak chekhqi anglakawhkawng hul nawh thaawng hy.
