Psalms 37
1 A Psalme of David. Fret not thy selfe because of the wicked men, neither be enuious for the euill doers.
Kathutkung: Devit Thoenae kasaknaw kecu dawk lungmathoe hoi awm hanh awh. Payonnae kasaknaw hai ut awh hanh.
2 For they shall soone bee cut downe like grasse, and shall wither as the greene herbe.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, phokahring patetlah palang kamyai awh vaiteh, anhna kahring patetlah palang a due awh han.
3 Trust thou in the Lord and do good: dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed assuredly.
BAWIPA kâuep nateh, hawinae hah sak haw. Ram thung awm nateh, yuemkamcunae hah hringkhaih.
4 And delite thy selfe in the Lord, and hee shall giue thee thine hearts desire.
BAWIPA dawk konawm haw. Na lungngai e hah na poe han.
5 Commit thy way vnto the Lord, and trust in him, and he shall bring it to passe.
Na lamthung hah BAWIPA koe poe haw, ama kâuep haw, ama ni a sak han.
6 And he shall bring foorth thy righteousnes as the light, and thy iudgement as the noone day.
Na lannae teh angnae patetlah tâcawt sak vaiteh, na kângingnae hah kanîthun patetlah ao sak han.
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.
BAWIPA dawk kâhat nateh, lungsaw laihoi ring haw. Amamae lamthung dawk tânae kahmawtnaw kecu dawk thoseh, thoenae a noe e naw dawk a kâvoe awh kecu dawk thoseh, na lungmathout hanh.
8 Cease from anger, and leaue off wrath: fret not thy selfe also to doe euill.
Na lungphuen sak hanh, lungkhueknae cettakhai haw. Lungmathoe hoi awm hanh. Hot ni teh, hawihoehnae koe doeh na hrawi.
9 For euill doers shalbe cut off, and they that wait vpon the Lord, they shall inherite the land.
Bangtelah tetpawiteh, thoenae kasaknaw teh, raphoe lah ao awh han. Hatei, BAWIPA ka ngaihawi e naw ni, talai heh râw lah a coe awh han.
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.
Bangtelah tetpawiteh, tamikathoutnaw teh dongdengca dawk awm awh mahoeh toe. Bokheiyah, a onae hmuen koe kahawicalah na tawng han, hatei, awm mahoeh toe.
11 But meeke men shall possesse the earth, and shall haue their delite in the multitude of peace.
Hatei, a lungkanem e ni talai râw a coe vaiteh, kapap e roumnae dawk a lunghawi awh han.
12 The wicked practiseth against the iust, and gnasheth his teeth against him.
Tamikathout ni tamikalan a youk teh, a hâkam a kata sin.
13 But the Lord shall laugh him to scorne: for he seeth, that his day is comming.
Hatei, Bawipa ni tamikathout teh a panui sin. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimae hnin ka tho hane hah a panue.
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.
Mathoe hoi kavoutthoupnaw kamlei sak hane hoi, kalan lah kahringnaw thei hanelah, tamikathoutnaw ni amamae tahloi sut a rayu awh teh, licung sut a sawn awh toe.
15 But their sword shall enter into their owne heart, and their bowes shalbe broken.
Hatei, amamae tahloi teh amamae lung dawk kâen vaiteh, ahnimae licung teh khoe lah ao han.
16 A small thing vnto the iust man is better, then great riches to the wicked and mightie.
Tamikathout ni tawnta e hlak, tamikalan ni younca a tawn e ahawihnawn.
17 For the armes of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord vpholdeth the iust men.
Bangtelah tetpawiteh, tamikathout e kut teh khoe lah awm vaiteh, tamikalan e kut teh BAWIPA ni a kabawp han.
18 The Lord knoweth the dayes of vpright men, and their inheritance shall bee perpetuall.
BAWIPA ni tamikalannaw e hnin a panue pouh teh, a coe awh e râw teh a yungyoe kangning e doeh.
19 They shall not be confounded in the perilous time, and in the daies of famine they shall haue ynough.
Ahnimouh teh, atueng mathoe nahaiyah, yeirai phawt awh mahoeh. Takang tue nahaiyah, a von a paha awh han.
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.
Hatei, tamikathout teh a kahma han. BAWIPA e tarannaw teh, ka sungren e phokahring patetlah kahmat awh vaiteh, hmaikhu lah a pâyam awh vaiteh a kahma awh han.
21 The wicked boroweth and payeth not againe. but the righteous is mercifull, and giueth.
Tamikathout niteh, a cawi e patho hoeh toe. Hatei, tamikalan niteh, a pahren teh a poe.
22 For such as be blessed of God, shall inherite the lande, and they that be cursed of him, shalbe cut off.
Bangtelah tetpawiteh, yawhawi poe lah kaawmnaw ni talai râw a coe awh han. Thoebo lah kaawmnaw teh raphoe lah ao awh han.
23 The pathes of man are directed by the Lord: for he loueth his way.
Tamikalannaw e khoktabei teh BAWIPA ni a caksak teh, a ceinae lamthung hah a ngai pouh.
24 Though he fall, hee shall not be cast off: for the Lord putteth vnder his hand.
A tâlaw nakunghai, poutnae koe phat mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni ahnie kut a kuet pouh.
25 I haue beene yong, and am olde: yet I sawe neuer the righteous forsaken, nor his seede begging bread.
Thoundoun lah ka o teh ka matawng toe. Tamikalan ceitakhai e ka hmawt boihoeh. A ca catounnaw kutdaw lah ao e ka hmawt boihoeh.
26 But hee is euer mercifull and lendeth, and his seede enioyeth the blessing.
Ayâ a lungma teh, a cawi sak dawkvah, a ca catounnaw teh yawhawinae a coe awh.
27 Flee from euill and doe good, and dwell for euer.
Yonnae cettakhai nateh, hawinae sak nateh, hete ram dawk pou awm haw.
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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni kângingnae hah a lungpataw. A tamikathoungnaw cettakhai boihoeh. Lungmawng lah pou ao sak.
29 The righteous men shall inherit the lande, and dwell therein for euer.
Tamikalan ni ram heh râw lah a coe vaiteh, a thung vah kho pou a sak awh han.
30 The mouth of the righteous will speake of wisedome, and his tongue will talke of iudgement.
Tamikalan e pahni ni lungangnae lawk a dei teh, a lai ni kângingnae hah a pâpho.
31 For the Lawe of his God is in his heart, and his steppes shall not slide.
A Cathut e kâlawk teh a lungthin thung ao dawkvah, a cei toteh tâlaw mahoeh.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
Tamikathout ni tamikalan a pawp teh, thei hanelah ouk a tawng.
33 But the Lord wil not leaue him in his hand, nor condemne him, when he is iudged.
Hatei, BAWIPA ni ahnie kut dawk tamikalan hah tâkhawng mahoeh. Lawkceng lah ao nakunghai yonpen lah awm mahoeh.
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.
BAWIPA hah ring haw. A lamthung hah dawn haw. Hete ram coe hanelah, na tawmrasang han. Tamikathoutnaw koung raphoe lah ao e hah na hmu han.
35 I haue seene the wicked strong, and spreading himselfe like a greene bay tree.
Tamikathout hoi tamitongthoenaw teh, ung e thingkung patetlah, hluthlut a naw awh e hah ka hmu toe.
36 Yet he passed away, and loe, he was gone, and I sought him, but he could not be founde.
Hatei, a due teh, khenhaw! ahni teh awm hoeh toe. Bokheiyah, ka tawng eiteh, hmu hane awm hoeh toe.
37 Marke the vpright man, and beholde the iust: for the end of that man is peace.
Kuepnae hah pouk nateh, lannae hah lueplueppouk haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hmâ lah a coe hane teh, lungmawngnae doeh.
38 But the transgressours shall be destroyed together, and the ende of the wicked shall bee cut off.
Hatei, tamikayonnaw teh, koung raphoe lah awm vaiteh, tamikathoutnaw ni a coe hane haiyah, raphoenae hah doeh.
39 But the saluation of the righteous men shalbe of the Lord: he shalbe their strength in the time of trouble.
Tamikalan rungngangnae teh, BAWIPA koehoi doeh. Ahni teh runae tueng nah kânguenae im doeh.
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.
BAWIPA ni kabawm vaiteh, a rungngang han. Ama a kâuep dawkvah, tamikathoutnaw thung hoi a rasa teh ouk a rungngang.
