Psalms 73
1 A Psalme committed to Asaph. Yet God is good to Israel: euen, to the pure in heart.
Asaph ih Saam laa. Sithaw loe poekciim kami hoi Israelnawk nuiah hoih tangtang.
2 As for me, my feete were almost gone: my steps had well neere slipt.
Toe ka khok loe amthaek tom boeh; kang doethaih ahmuen angthuih tom boeh.
3 For I feared at the foolish, when I sawe the prosperitie of the wicked.
Poeksae kaminawk mah hnuk o ih tahamhoihaih to ka hnuk naah, amthu kaminawk to ka khit moeng boeh.
4 For there are no bandes in their death, but they are lustie and strong.
Nihcae loe duek naah patangkhang o ai; ngantui o moe, thacak o.
5 They are not in trouble as other men, neither are they plagued with other men.
Nihcae loe minawk kalah baktiah raihaih panoek o ai; minawk baktiah patang o ai.
6 Therefore pride is as a chayne vnto them, and crueltie couereth them as a garment.
To pongah amoekhaih to bungmu baktiah a oih o; pacaekthlaekhaih to khukbuen baktiah angkhuk o.
7 Their eyes stande out for fatnesse: they haue more then heart can wish.
Hmuenmae hoi angraeng o pongah, nihcae ih mik loe tasa bangah tacawt dok; nihcae loe palung thung hoi poek ih hmuen pongah kamthlai ah koeh o.
8 They are licentious, and speake wickedly of their oppression: they talke presumptuously.
Nihcae mah kahoih ai pacaekthlaekhaih to pahnuih o thuih; amoekhaih lok apaeh o.
9 They set their mouth against heauen, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
Nihcae loe pakha hoiah vannawk to kasae thuih o moe, palai to long pum ah amkaeh o sak.
10 Therefore his people turne hither: for waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
To pongah Sithaw mah angmah ih kaminawk to amlaemsak let moe, a paek ih tui to kamhah ah naek o.
11 And they say, Howe doeth God know it? or is there knowledge in the most High?
Nihcae mah, Kawbangmaw Sithaw mah panoek tih? Kasang koek ah kaom loe panoekhaih tawnh maw? tiah thuih o.
12 Lo, these are the wicked, yet prosper they alway, and increase in riches.
Khenah, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe hae tiah oh o; nihcae loe long nuiah khosak hoih o moe, angraeng o aep aep.
13 Certainely I haue clensed mine heart in vaine, and washed mine hands in innocencie.
Tangtang ni, ka suek ih kaciim poekhaih loe azom pui ni; zaehaih om ai ah kam saeh ih ban doeh azom pui ah ni oh.
14 For dayly haue I bene punished, and chastened euery morning.
Ni thokkruek patang ka khang, akhawnbang kruek thuitaekhaih to ka tongh.
15 If I say, I will iudge thus, beholde the generation of thy children: I haue trespassed.
To tiah kasae thuih han ka poek nahaeloe, khenah, na caanawk nuiah kasae sah kami ah ni ka om tih.
16 Then thought I to know this, but it was too painefull for me,
Hae hmuen hae kawbangmaw ka panoek thaih han, tiah ka poek naah, kai hanah loe panoek han rai parai hmuen ah oh;
17 Vntill I went into the Sanctuarie of God: then vnderstoode I their ende.
hnukkhuem ah loe Sithaw ih hmuenciim thungah ka phak, to naah ni to hmuennawk boenghaih to ka panoek thai vop.
18 Surely thou hast set them in slipperie places, and castest them downe into desolation.
Tangtang thuih nahaeloe nang mah ni nihcae to kamnae ahmuen ah na suek moe, nihcae to amrohaih thungah na vah.
19 How suddenly are they destroyed, perished and horribly consumed,
Nihcae loe kawbangmaw, nawnetta thungah amro o halat! Hnukkhuem ah loe zitthok hmuen mah nihcae to paduek boih boeh.
20 As a dreame when one awaketh! O Lord, when thou raisest vs vp, thou shalt make their image despised.
Kami mah angthawk naah amang to poek baktih toengah, Aw Angraeng, nang thawk tahang naah, nihcae poekhaih to tiah doeh sah pae hmah.
21 Certainely mine heart was vexed, and I was pricked in my reines:
To tiah palung ka nat moe, ka poekhaih anghmang sut.
22 So foolish was I and ignorant: I was a beast before thee.
Kai loe amthu kami, tidoeh panoek ai kami ah ka oh; na hmaa ah kasan moi baktiah ni ka oh sut boeh.
23 Yet I was alway with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
Toe kai loe nang khaeah ka oh poe; ka bantang ban hae nang patawnh pae.
24 Thou wilt guide me by thy counsell, and afterward receiue me to glory.
Nangmah loe na thoemhaih hoiah loklam nang patuek ueloe, lensawkhaih thungah nang caeh haih tih.
25 Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and I haue desired none in the earth with thee.
Nang ai ah loe van ah ka tawnh ih mi maw oh vop? Nang pacoengah loe long nuiah ka koeh ih mi doeh om ai.
26 My flesh fayleth and mine heart also: but God is the strength of mine heart, and my portion for euer.
Ka ngan hoi ka palung loe amro boeh; toe Sithaw loe ka palungthin thacakhaih ah oh moe, dungzan ah kai ih taham ah ni oh.
27 For loe, they that withdrawe themselues from thee, shall perish: thou destroyest all them that goe a whoring from thee.
Khenah, nang hoi angthla kaminawk loe amro o boih tih; nang khae hoi amkhraeng moe, oep om ai ah khosah kaminawk loe nam rosak boih tih.
28 As for me, it is good for me to draw neere to God: therefore I haue put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy workes.
Toe kai loe Sithaw khaeah anghnaih han hoih; na toksakhaihnawk boih ka thuih hanah, Angraeng Sithaw khaeah ka buep.
