Psalms 37
1 A Psalme of David. Fret not thy selfe because of the wicked men, neither be enuious for the euill doers.
David ih Saam laa. Hmuensae sah kaminawk pongah palungboeng hmah loe, nihcae to awt hmah.
2 For they shall soone bee cut downe like grasse, and shall wither as the greene herbe.
Nihcae loe akra ai ah qam baktiah aat ueloe, qam kahing baktiah azaem o tih.
3 Trust thou in the Lord and do good: dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed assuredly.
Angraeng to oep ah loe, kahoih hmuen to sah ah; prae thungah om ah loe, poek caksak ah.
4 And delite thy selfe in the Lord, and hee shall giue thee thine hearts desire.
Angraeng ah anghoehaih tawn ah, to tih nahaeloe palung thung hoi na koeh ih hmuen to na paek tih.
5 Commit thy way vnto the Lord, and trust in him, and he shall bring it to passe.
Na caehhaih loklam to Angraeng khaeah aap ah; anih to oep ah; to tih nahaeloe angmah na hoi tih.
6 And he shall bring foorth thy righteousnes as the light, and thy iudgement as the noone day.
Anih mah loe na toenghaih to hmai baktih, katoengah takroek ih lok to athun ih ni aengh baktiah aangsak tih.
7 Waite patiently vpon the Lord and hope in him: fret not thy selfe for him which prospereth in his way: nor for the man that bringeth his enterprises to passe.
Angraeng hmaa ah anghngai duem ah loe, anih to palungsawkhaih hoiah zing ah: a caehhaih loklam amkah hanah toksah thaih, sethaih poeng hanah toksah thaih kami pongah palungboeng hmah.
8 Cease from anger, and leaue off wrath: fret not thy selfe also to doe euill.
Palungphui hmah loe, palung doeh baesak hmah: zaehaih sak hanah kahoih ai poekhaih to tawn hmah.
9 For euill doers shalbe cut off, and they that wait vpon the Lord, they shall inherite the land.
Sethaih sah kaminawk loe pahnawt sut ah om tih, toe Angraeng zing kaminawk loe long to toep o tih.
10 Therefore yet a litle while, and the wicked shall not appeare, and thou shalt looke after his place, and he shall not be found.
Sethaih sah kami loe akra ai ah om mak ai boeh: ue, anih ih ahmuen to na pakrong khing cadoeh, na hnu mak ai.
11 But meeke men shall possesse the earth, and shall haue their delite in the multitude of peace.
Toe tuinom tawn kaminawk loe long hae toep o ueloe, kating ai monghaih hoiah khosak nawm o tih.
12 The wicked practiseth against the iust, and gnasheth his teeth against him.
Kasae kami mah loe katoeng kami to pacaeng moe, haa a kaek thuih.
13 But the Lord shall laugh him to scorne: for he seeth, that his day is comming.
Toe anih ih atue pha tih boeh, tiah Angraeng mah panoek pongah, anih to pahnui thuih.
14 The wicked haue drawen their sworde, and haue bent their bowe, to cast downe the poore and needie, and to slay such as be of vpright conuersation.
Kasae kaminawk mah amtang kaminawk to amtimsak moe, toenghaih sah kaminawk to hum hanah, sumsen aphong thuih pacoengah, kalii to anueng thuih.
15 But their sword shall enter into their owne heart, and their bowes shalbe broken.
Toe angmacae ih sumsen mah angmacae ih palung to thun pae ueloe, palaanawk doeh angkhaek pae tih.
16 A small thing vnto the iust man is better, then great riches to the wicked and mightie.
Kahoih ai kami angraeng parai pongah loe, katoeng kami mah tawn ih hmuen zetta to hoih kue.
17 For the armes of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord vpholdeth the iust men.
Kasae kami ih ban loe angkhaek tih: toe katoeng kami loe Angraeng mah patawnh.
18 The Lord knoweth the dayes of vpright men, and their inheritance shall bee perpetuall.
Katoeng kaminawk ih aninawk loe Angraeng mah panoek pae: nihcae ih qawk loe dungzan khoek to cak poe tih.
19 They shall not be confounded in the perilous time, and in the daies of famine they shall haue ynough.
Nihcae loe sethaih tue phak naah azatpaw o mak ai; takaang thohhaih atue naah doeh zok amhah o tih.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be consumed as the fatte of lambes: euen with the smoke shall they consume away.
Toe kahoih ai kami loe anghma angtaa tih: Angraeng ih misanawk loe kathawk tuu baktiah om o cadoeh, amro o ueloe, hmaikhue baktiah anghma o boih tih.
21 The wicked boroweth and payeth not againe. but the righteous is mercifull, and giueth.
Kahoih ai kami loe hmuenmae to coi, toe pathok let ai: toe katoeng kami mah loe palungnathaih to amtuengsak moe, paek let.
22 For such as be blessed of God, shall inherite the lande, and they that be cursed of him, shalbe cut off.
Angraeng tahamhoihaih tongh kaminawk loe, long hae toep o tih; anih mah tangoeng ih kaminawk loe pahnawt sut tih.
23 The pathes of man are directed by the Lord: for he loueth his way.
Kahoih kami ih khok tangkannawk loe Angraeng mah caksak; a caehhaih loklam nuiah palung tongh.
24 Though he fall, hee shall not be cast off: for the Lord putteth vnder his hand.
Anih loe amthaek cadoeh, amtim bung mak ai: tipongah tih nahaeloe Angraeng mah anih ih ban to patawnh pae.
25 I haue beene yong, and am olde: yet I sawe neuer the righteous forsaken, nor his seede begging bread.
Katoeng kami to pahnawt sut, anih ih caanawk loe buh hnik o ti, tiah ka qoeng li nathuem hoi kamtong vaihi mitong khoek to ka panoek vai ai vop.
26 But hee is euer mercifull and lendeth, and his seede enioyeth the blessing.
Anih loe tahmenhaih tawnh moe, minawk han a paek pongah, a caanawk mah tahamhoihaih hnuk o.
27 Flee from euill and doe good, and dwell for euer.
Kasae hmuen to caehtaak ah loe, kahoih hmuen to sah ah; to tiah nahaeloe prae thungah na om poe tih.
28 For the Lord loueth iudgement, and forsaketh not his Saintes: they shall be preserued for euermore: but the seede of the wicked shall be cut off.
Angraeng loe toenghaih to koeh pongah, angmah ih kaciim kaminawk to pahnawt sut ai; nihcae to dungzan khoek to khet poe: toe kasae kaminawk ih caanawk loe pahnawt suthaih to tongh o tih.
29 The righteous men shall inherit the lande, and dwell therein for euer.
Katoeng kami loe long to toep ueloe, to ah dungzan khoek to om tih.
30 The mouth of the righteous will speake of wisedome, and his tongue will talke of iudgement.
Katoeng kami ih pakha mah loe palunghahaih lok to thuih; anih ih palai mah doeh toenghaih lok ni thuih.
31 For the Lawe of his God is in his heart, and his steppes shall not slide.
Anih loe Sithaw ih kaalok to palung thungah suek pongah, a caeh naah amthaek mak ai.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
Kasae kami loe katoeng kami to hum hanah, angang.
33 But the Lord wil not leaue him in his hand, nor condemne him, when he is iudged.
Toe Angraeng mah anih to kasae kami ban ah caehtaak sut mak ai, lokcaek naah doeh anih to sungsak mak ai.
34 Waite thou on the Lord, and keepe his way, and he shall exalt thee, that thou shalt inherite the lande: when the wicked men shall perish, thou shalt see.
Angraeng to zing ah loe a loklam to pazui ah, prae toep hanah anih mah na pakoeh tih: kasae kaminawk amro o naah, to hmuen to na hnu tih.
35 I haue seene the wicked strong, and spreading himselfe like a greene bay tree.
Kasae kami loe thacak moe, long kahoih pongah amprawk thing kahing baktiah qoeng tahang to ka hnuk.
36 Yet he passed away, and loe, he was gone, and I sought him, but he could not be founde.
Toe anih loe laemh ving boeh, khenah, om ai boeh: ue, anih to ka pakrong, toe anih loe hnu thai ai boeh.
37 Marke the vpright man, and beholde the iust: for the end of that man is peace.
Kahoih kami hnuk ah bangah, katoeng kami to khen ah: to tiah sah kami loe hnukkhuem ah monghaih to hnu tih.
38 But the transgressours shall be destroyed together, and the ende of the wicked shall bee cut off.
Zaehaih sah kaminawk loe amro o ueloe, sethaih sah kaminawk loe hnukkhuem ah amrohaih tong o tih.
39 But the saluation of the righteous men shalbe of the Lord: he shalbe their strength in the time of trouble.
Katoeng kami pahlonghaih loe Angraeng ih ni: raihaih tongh naah Angraeng loe nihcae thacakhaih ah oh.
40 For the Lord shall helpe them, and deliuer them: he shall deliuer them from the wicked, and shall saue them, because they trust in him.
Angraeng mah nihcae to abomh ueloe, pahlong tih: anih khaeah amha o pongah, anih mah kasae kaminawk ban thung hoiah nihcae to pahlong tih.
