Psalms 58
1 For the music director. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm (miktam) of David. You leaders, do you really say what is right? Do you judge people fairly?
Kathutkung: Devit Nangmouh duem na kaawm e naw, lannae lawk hah na dei awh katang maw. Oe tami capanaw kalanlah lawk na ceng awh maw.
2 No, for in your minds you plan evil. You cause violence everywhere!
Na ceng awh hoeh, na lungthung vah, hawihoehnae na sak awh. Talaivan na kut hoi thamanae yawcu hoi na khing awh.
3 The wicked are sinners from birth; from the moment they're born they tell lies.
Tamikathoutnaw teh, von thung hoi lam a payon awh toe. A tâco awh tahma vah, laithoe dei laihoi lam a payon awh.
4 They have venom like that of a poisonous snake, and just like a cobra they stop listening,
Asue teh hrunthoesue patetlah ao. A hnâ ka pang e tahrun a hnâ pahru e patetlah ao.
5 refusing to hear the voice of the snake charmers or the spellbinders.
Hote tahrun ni teh tahrun camnae lawk hai thai thai hoeh. Camnae la sak e hai thai thai hoeh.
6 God, break their teeth, and smash the jaws of these lions, Lord.
Oe Cathut, a kâko e hâ hah khoe pouh haw. Oe BAWIPA, athakaawme sendek nônaw hah khoe pouh haw.
7 May they vanish like water that flows away; when they shoot their arrows may they miss their mark.
Ka lawng lahun e tui patetlah kahmat awh naseh. Licung a sawn awh toteh, ahnimae palanaw teh koung kâkhoe naseh.
8 May they be like the slime of snails that dissolves away, like a stillborn child that never saw the light of day.
A cei lahun nah kahmat e kongkaraw patetlah kahmat awh naseh. Camo karawk e ni kanî a hmu hoeh e patetlah awm awh naseh.
9 Before the cooking pot is hot from burning thorns, whether fresh or dry, God will blow them away.
Pâkhing pho hoi patawi e hmai, hlaam a bet hoehnahlan vah, kahring e pâkhing pho hoi hmai ka kang e pâkhing phonaw teh, bongparui ni cetkhai naseh.
10 Those who live right will be happy when they see there is punishment; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
Tamikalannaw ni hot patetlah e reknae hah a hmu awh toteh, a konawm awh han.
11 They will say, “There is definitely a reward for those who live right; there is certainly a God who judges fairly on earth.”
Tamikathoutnaw e thi dawk a khok a pâsu awh han. Hottelah tami ni, ayânaw hanelah tawkphu ao tie hoi lawkcengkung Cathut ao katang ati awh han.
