Psalms 37
1 FRET not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
Kathutkung: Devit Thoenae kasaknaw kecu dawk lungmathoe hoi awm hanh awh. Payonnae kasaknaw hai ut awh hanh.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, phokahring patetlah palang kamyai awh vaiteh, anhna kahring patetlah palang a due awh han.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
BAWIPA kâuep nateh, hawinae hah sak haw. Ram thung awm nateh, yuemkamcunae hah hringkhaih.
4 Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
BAWIPA dawk konawm haw. Na lungngai e hah na poe han.
5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
Na lamthung hah BAWIPA koe poe haw, ama kâuep haw, ama ni a sak han.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
Na lannae teh angnae patetlah tâcawt sak vaiteh, na kângingnae hah kanîthun patetlah ao sak han.
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
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 forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
Na lungphuen sak hanh, lungkhueknae cettakhai haw. Lungmathoe hoi awm hanh. Hot ni teh, hawihoehnae koe doeh na hrawi.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
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 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
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 the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Hatei, a lungkanem e ni talai râw a coe vaiteh, kapap e roumnae dawk a lunghawi awh han.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
Tamikathout ni tamikalan a youk teh, a hâkam a kata sin.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
Hatei, Bawipa ni tamikathout teh a panui sin. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimae hnin ka tho hane hah a panue.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
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 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
Hatei, amamae tahloi teh amamae lung dawk kâen vaiteh, ahnimae licung teh khoe lah ao han.
16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
Tamikathout ni tawnta e hlak, tamikalan ni younca a tawn e ahawihnawn.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.
Bangtelah tetpawiteh, tamikathout e kut teh khoe lah awm vaiteh, tamikalan e kut teh BAWIPA ni a kabawp han.
18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
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 ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
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 as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into 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 borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
Tamikathout niteh, a cawi e patho hoeh toe. Hatei, tamikalan niteh, a pahren teh a poe.
22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be 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 steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.
Tamikalannaw e khoktabei teh BAWIPA ni a caksak teh, a ceinae lamthung hah a ngai pouh.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
A tâlaw nakunghai, poutnae koe phat mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni ahnie kut a kuet pouh.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed 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 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
Ayâ a lungma teh, a cawi sak dawkvah, a ca catounnaw teh yawhawinae a coe awh.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
Yonnae cettakhai nateh, hawinae sak nateh, hete ram dawk pou awm haw.
28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed 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 shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
Tamikalan ni ram heh râw lah a coe vaiteh, a thung vah kho pou a sak awh han.
30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
Tamikalan e pahni ni lungangnae lawk a dei teh, a lai ni kângingnae hah a pâpho.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall 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 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
Hatei, BAWIPA ni ahnie kut dawk tamikalan hah tâkhawng mahoeh. Lawkceng lah ao nakunghai yonpen lah awm mahoeh.
34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
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 have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green 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, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Hatei, a due teh, khenhaw! ahni teh awm hoeh toe. Bokheiyah, ka tawng eiteh, hmu hane awm hoeh toe.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: 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 transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
Hatei, tamikayonnaw teh, koung raphoe lah awm vaiteh, tamikathoutnaw ni a coe hane haiyah, raphoenae hah doeh.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
Tamikalan rungngangnae teh, BAWIPA koehoi doeh. Ahni teh runae tueng nah kânguenae im doeh.
40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save 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.
