Psalms 36
1 For the music director. A psalm of David, servant of the Lord. Evil speaks to the wicked, deep down in their minds, for in their eyes they have no need to respect God.
Kathutkung: Devit Tamikathoutnaw ni kâtapoenae dawk ka lungthung hoi ka tâcawt e teh, ahnimae mit dawk Cathut takinae banghai awm hoeh.
2 In their own eyes they're so wonderful that they can't even see their sin and do something about it.
A payonnae hmawt hoeh, panuek hoeh telah, a mithmu vah amahoima tamikalan lah a kâsak awh.
3 Whatever they say is deceptive and deceitful. They no longer do anything wisely or for good.
A dei e lawk teh, thoenae hoi dumnae dueng doeh. Kahawi hno sak hane hoi lungang hane hah a pahnawt awh.
4 Even when they're lying in bed they think up evil schemes. They commit themselves to a way of life that is no good. They choose evil, and don't reject it.
A ikhun van hawihoehnae hah a pouk teh, kahawihoehe lamthung thama lahoi a dawn teh, yonnae hah panuet hoeh.
5 Lord, your faithful love reaches to the heavens, your trustworthiness to the clouds.
Oe BAWIPA na pahrennae teh kalvan ao teh, yuem na kamcunae ni tâmai koe a pha.
6 Your goodness is like the highest mountains, your fairness is like the deepest oceans. Lord, you save both the people and the animals.
Na lannae teh kalen e mon patetlah ao teh, na lawkcengnae teh ka dungpoung e tui patetlah ao. Oe BAWIPA, tami hoi saringnaw hah ouk na khetyawt.
7 God, how priceless is your trustworthy love! Everyone can find protection under the shelter of your wings.
Oe Cathut, na lungpatawnae teh banghloimaw a sungren. Hatdawkvah, tami capanaw ni na tâhlip hah a kâuep awh.
8 They gain strength from the wonderful food you provide in your house; you give them drink from your refreshing river.
Na imthung vah, kapap e hnokahawi hoi na boum sak teh, na konawmnae palangtui na nei sak.
9 You are the source of life; you are the light by which we see.
Nang koe vah hringnae tuikhu teh ao. Na angnae dawkvah, angnae hah ka hmu awh.
10 Extend your trustworthy love to those who know you, and your goodness to those who truly live right.
Oe, nang kapanueknaw koe, na lungpatawnae pou awm na seh, lungthin kalannaw koe na lannae kamnuek naseh,
11 Don't let the arrogant trample me down; don't let the wicked drive me out.
Kâoupnae khok teh kai taranlahoi tho nahanh seh.
12 Now look! See how those who do evil have fallen—thrown down, unable to get up.
Haw tueng vah, tamitongthoenaw koung a rawp awh toe. Tâkhawng lah ao awh teh, thaw awh mahoeh toe.
