Psalms 73
1 A Psalme committed to Asaph. Yet God is good to Israel: euen, to the pure in heart.
Kawlung ak ciim, Israelkhqi venawh Khawsa taw leek tak tak hy.
2 As for me, my feete were almost gone: my steps had well neere slipt.
Cehlai, kai aham taw, ka khaw ve bah tawm ca nawh; dyih hun hlauh tawm na awm nyng.
3 For I feared at the foolish, when I sawe the prosperitie of the wicked.
Ikawtih, thlak chekhqi ami kam ak awm ce ka huh awh ak oek qukhqi ce nai haunyng.
4 For there are no bandes in their death, but they are lustie and strong.
Ami thih awh ce khuikha am sim voel hy; ami pumqawkhqi ami sa dip pyng pyng nawh amik tha awm hy.
5 They are not in trouble as other men, neither are they plagued with other men.
Thlak changkhqi amyihna phyihqih am za tlaih uhy; thlanghqing tlawhnaak ing am khuikha sak khqi tlaih hy.
6 Therefore pride is as a chayne vnto them, and crueltie couereth them as a garment.
Cedawngawh oek qunaak ce aawi na awi unawh; khawboe seetnaak ing thoeih ang cam qu uhy.
7 Their eyes stande out for fatnesse: they haue more then heart can wish.
Thin hqamnaak awhkawng thawlhnaak ce law hy; qaai kqawnnaak kawpoek ing a qi am ta qoe hy.
8 They are licentious, and speake wickedly of their oppression: they talke presumptuously.
Kawpoek seetnaak ing thlang qaih na unawh; oek qunaak ing thang the a kha na uhy.
9 They set their mouth against heauen, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
Amim khakhqi ce khanna ak awm na ngai unawh, amim laikhqi ing khawmdek ik-oeih ce lo uhy.
10 Therefore his people turne hither: for waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
Cedawngawh ak thlangkhqi ing a mimah a venna hlai unawh tui hqawng ce aw thu hqut uhy.
11 And they say, Howe doeth God know it? or is there knowledge in the most High?
Cekkhqi ing, Ikawmyihna Khawsa ing ani sim naak kaw? Sawsang Soeih awh ak awm ce ak cyi hy voei nu?” ti uhy.
12 Lo, these are the wicked, yet prosper they alway, and increase in riches.
Thalk chekhqi taw vemyihna awm uhy – ikawmyih poeknaak awm am ta voel uhy, a boeina boei khqoet khqoet uhy.
13 Certainely I haue clensed mine heart in vaine, and washed mine hands in innocencie.
Kawlung ak caihna ka taak ve a hoeina awm nawh kut sil nyng ka awm dym awm a hoeina awm hy.
14 For dayly haue I bene punished, and chastened euery morning.
Khawnghi zung khuikha za nyng saw; mymcang qoek awh phepnaak hu nyng.
15 If I say, I will iudge thus, beholde the generation of thy children: I haue trespassed.
Kai ing, Cemyih na sai u vang,” ka ti mantaw, na cakhqi ana zawi hawh kawng nyng.
16 Then thought I to know this, but it was too painefull for me,
Vemyihkhqi boeih ve zaaksim aham tha ka lawh awh, ka ham quh soeih hy.
17 Vntill I went into the Sanctuarie of God: then vnderstoode I their ende.
Khawsa a hun ciim ka pha deng awh ni, a dytnaak ce kang zaksim hly hyn.
18 Surely thou hast set them in slipperie places, and castest them downe into desolation.
A plainaak a hun awh cekkhqi ce nang ing ta tiksaw; plawci aham cekkhqi ce nuk khawng hyk ti.
19 How suddenly are they destroyed, perished and horribly consumed,
Ikawmyihna cekkhqi ce ami plawci bat paqap, kqih awmnaak ing cekkhqi ce nawi phang tlang pai hy!
20 As a dreame when one awaketh! O Lord, when thou raisest vs vp, thou shalt make their image despised.
Thlang ing a hang hqyng awh ang mang kawna awm a mang ngaih amyihna, Aw Bawipa, nang awm na hang thawh awh, cekkhqi poeknaak mailai amyihna nang ing kawna awm am ngai kawp ti.
21 Certainely mine heart was vexed, and I was pricked in my reines:
Kak kawlung ko nawh kang myihla ak khuikha awh,
22 So foolish was I and ignorant: I was a beast before thee.
kaw awm a sim kaana a khat qat na awm hqoeng nyng; na haiawh qamsa myihna awm nyng.
23 Yet I was alway with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
Cehlai, nang a venawh awm loet nyng; nang ing ka kut kak tang benawh nim tu hyk ti.
24 Thou wilt guide me by thy counsell, and afterward receiue me to glory.
Nak poek na lahnaak ing ni sawi kawm tiksaw, cek coeng awhtaw boeimangnaak khuiawh ni ceh pyi kawp ti.
25 Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and I haue desired none in the earth with thee.
Nang kaa taw a u nu khawk khan awh ka taak bai kaw? Nang coeng awhtaw ka ngaih ve khawmdek ing am tahy.
26 My flesh fayleth and mine heart also: but God is the strength of mine heart, and my portion for euer.
Ka pumsa ingkaw kak kawlung ve tlu mai seiawm, Khawsa taw kak kawlung thaawmnaak ingkaw ka kumqui taham na awm hy.
27 For loe, they that withdrawe themselues from thee, shall perish: thou destroyest all them that goe a whoring from thee.
Nang a ven awhkawng ak hlakhqi boeih ce qeeng kawm usaw; na venawh ypawm na amak awm thlangkhqi ce nang ing hqe kawp ti.
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.
Cehlai, kai aham taw, Khawsa ing ak zoena awm ve nep hy. Boeimang Khawsa ce kang thuknaak hun na ta hawh nyng; na ik-oeih saikhqi boeih ce khypyi kawng nyng.
