Psalms 10
1 Why do you stand far off, Jehovah? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Oe BAWIPA, bangkongmaw ahlanae koe na kangdue. Bangkongmaw runae tueng nah na kâhro.
2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
Tamikathoutnaw ni kâoupnae lahoi tami karoedengnaw hah a rektap awh. A sak awh e ni amamouh letlang man naseh.
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings, and he blesses the greedy, scorning Jehovah.
Tamikathoutnaw teh amamae lungngainae dawk ouk a kâoup awh. Kahounlounnaw ni BAWIPA a hnoun awh teh, a dudam awh.
4 The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek. All his thoughts are "There is no God."
Tamikathoutnaw ni kâoupnae lahoi Cathut tawng ngai awh hoeh. A pouknae dawkvah, Cathut awm hoeh ati awh.
5 His ways are firm at all times. Your judgments are turned aside. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
Lawkcengnae teh ahni hoi ahla arasang dawkvah, a tarannaw pueng hah a dudam.
6 He says in his heart, "I shall not be shaken. From generation to generation I shall not experience calamity."
A lungthung hoi, kâhuen mahoeh, nâtuek hai runae kâhmo mahoeh telah a pouk.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and bitterness and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
A pahni teh thoebonae, dumnae hoi repcoungroenae lawk hoi akawi. A lai rahim vah runae hoi payonnae teh ao.
8 He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
Kho tangkuem lampawp koe a tahung teh, tami ni hmuhoehnae koe yonnae ka tawn hoeh e naw hah a thei awh. Tami ka roedeng e hah arulahoi a pawp awh.
9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.
Sendek ni a kâkhu dawk hoi a pawp e patetlah arulahoi tami ouk a pawp. Tami ka roedeng hah man hanlah a pawp. A tamlawk hoi a sawn toteh tami ka roedeng a kâman.
10 The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
Hottelah, karoedengnaw hah a thaonae lahoi rawp sak nahanlah, ka rahnoumca lah a tabo awh.
11 He says in his heart, "God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it."
A lungthung hoi, Cathut ni a pahnim toe. A minhmai hai a hro toe. Nâtuek hai hmawt mahoeh toe telah a pouk.
12 Arise, Jehovah. God, lift up your hand. Do not forget the helpless.
Oe BAWIPA, thaw haw. Oe Cathut, na kut dâw haw. Kârahnoumnaw hah pahnim hanh.
13 Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, "You will not seek (an accounting)."
Bangkongmaw tamikathoutnaw ni Cathut banglahai a noutna awh hoeh. A lungthung hoi, banglah pouk mahoeh ouk ati awh.
14 But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
Hateiteh, lungreithai hoi runae teh na pakhingpalang teh, na kut hoi moipathung hanlah na hmu toe. Karoedengnaw, teh nang koe a kâhnawng awh teh, nang teh, na pa ka tawn hoeh naw kabawmkung lah na o.
15 Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
Tamikathoutnaw hoi tamikayonnaw e kut hah khoe pouh nateh, ceitakhai e awm laipalah, hawihoehnae pueng koung pâphue pouh haw.
16 Jehovah is King forever and ever. The nations have perished from his land.
BAWIPA teh a yungyoe hoi a yungyoe totouh siangpahrang doeh. A ram thung hoi miphunnaw koung a kahma awh.
17 Jehovah, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
Repcoungroe e hoi na pa ka tawn hoeh naw koevah, kângingnae sak hanelah, talai taminaw ni repcoungroe hoeh nahanelah,
18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.
BAWIPA, kârahnoumnaw e ngainae teh na panue teh, ahnimouh lawkceng hanelah na hnâ teh na pakeng pouh.
