Psalms 10
1 Why do you stand far off, LORD? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
Aw BOEIPA, balae tih mueirhih tue vaengah a hla la na thuh tih na pai?
2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
Halang kah a hoemnah loh mangdaeng te a hlak dae tangkhuepnah neh a moeh rhoek long te amamih lat a tuuk.
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings, and he blesses the greedy, scorning the LORD.
Halang tah a hinglu kah hoehhamnah dongah yan uh tih, aka mueluem loh BOEIPA yah aka bai te a uem.
4 The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek. All his thoughts are "There is no God."
Halang tah oeknah neh a thintoek a khueh. Pathen te toem pawt tih, a thuepnah boeih dongah om pawh.
5 His ways are firm at all times. Your judgments are turned aside. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
A longpuei, a longpuei te a tue boeih ah kilkul. Na laitloeknah te anih hmai lamloh a sang pah. Anih aka daengdaeh boeih khaw amamih te lat a sat.
6 He says in his heart, "I shall not be shaken. From generation to generation I shall not experience calamity."
A lungbuei ah, “Thawnpuei lamkah thawnpuei due ka tuen pawt vetih ka yoethae mahpawh,” a ti.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and bitterness and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
A ka dongah olthae olkha, hlangthai palat neh hnaephnapnah bae tih a lai dongah thakthaenah neh boethae ni aka om.
8 He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
Vong kaep kah rhong ah ngol tih, a huephael ah ommongsitoe a ngawn. A mik neh mangdaeng mangtok te a mae uh.
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.
Mangdaeng te tuuk ham a huephael kah po khuiah sathueng bangla a rhongngol. Mangdaeng te a tuuk vaengah amah kah lawk neh a sol.
10 The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
Te dongah paep la paep tih a ngawm phoeiah tah tatthai khaw a pilnu hmuiah ni mangdaeng mangtok la a cungku.
11 He says in his heart, "God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it."
A lungbuei ah, “Pathen loh a hnilh coeng, a maelhmai a thuh tih yoeyah la hmu mahpawh,” a ti.
12 Arise, LORD. God, lift up your hand. Do not forget the helpless.
Aw BOEIPA Pathen thoo lah, na kut thueng lah. Mangdaeng kodo te nang loh hnilh boeh.
13 Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, "You will not seek (an accounting)."
Balae tih halang loh Pathen yah a bai te amah lungbuei ah, “Nan cae tang mahpawh,” a ti?
14 But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
Tedae, na hmuh coeng dongah, thakthaenah neh konoinah, na kut dongah khueh ham na paelki. Namah tah cadah aka bom la na om dongah, na taengah mangdaeng mangtok khaw a hal.
15 Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
Boethae halang kah a ban te khaem pah. A halangnah te cae pah lamtah hlun boeh.
16 The LORD is King forever and ever. The nations have perished from his land.
BOEIPA tah kumhal ah manghai yoeyah tih, a khohmuen kah namtom rhoek tah milh uh ni.
17 LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
Kodo rhoek kah ngaihlihnah te BOEIPA nang loh na hna neh na hnatung tih, na yaak dongah, a lungbuei na cikngae sak.
18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.
Cadah neh hlanghnaep pahnap ham laitloek pah. Diklai lamkah hlanghing taengah, a sarhing ham te koep khoep boel saeh.
