Psalms 10
1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
Aw BOEIPA, balae tih mueirhih tue vaengah a hla la na thuh tih na pai?
2 Through the haughtiness of the wicked the poor are in distress; They are caught in the wiles which are contrived for them.
Halang kah a hoemnah loh mangdaeng te a hlak dae tangkhuepnah neh a moeh rhoek long te amamih lat a tuuk.
3 The wicked boasteth of his heart's desire; The rapacious renounceth and contemneth Jehovah.
Halang tah a hinglu kah hoehhamnah dongah yan uh tih, aka mueluem loh BOEIPA yah aka bai te a uem.
4 The wicked [[saith]] in his haughtiness, “He careth not!” 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 course is always prosperous; Far in the heights are thy judgments from him; As for all his enemies, he puffeth 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 saith in his heart, “I shall never fall; I shall never be in adversity.”
A lungbuei ah, “Thawnpuei lamkah thawnpuei due ka tuen pawt vetih ka yoethae mahpawh,” a ti.
7 His mouth is full of perjury, deceit, and oppression; Mischief and injustice are upon his tongue.
A ka dongah olthae olkha, hlangthai palat ya neh hnaephnapnah bae tih a lai dongah thakthaenah neh boethae ni aka om.
8 He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; In secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are secretly fixed upon the poor.
Vong kaep kah rhong ah ngol tih, a huephael ah ommongsitoe a ngawn. A mik neh mangdaeng mangtok te a mae uh.
9 He secretly lieth in wait, like a lion in a thicket; He lieth in wait to seize upon the helpless; He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net.
Mangdaeng te tuuk ham a huephael kah po khuiah sathueng bangla rhongngol. Mangdaeng te a tuuk vaengah amah kah lawk neh a sol.
10 He croucheth, and lowereth himself, And the wretched fall into his paws.
Te dongah paep la paep tih a ngawm phoeiah tah tatthai khaw a pilnu hmuiah ni mangdaeng mangtok la a cungku.
11 He saith in his heart, “God doth forget; He hideth his face; he doth never see it.”
A lungbuei ah, “Pathen loh a hnilh coeng, a maelhmai a thuh tih yoeyah la hmu mahpawh,” a ti.
12 Arise, O LORD! O God, lift up thine hand: Forget not the distressed!
Aw BOEIPA Pathen thoo lah, na kut thueng lah. Mangdaeng kodo te nang loh hnilh boeh.
13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, “He careth not for it”?
Balae tih halang loh Pathen yah a bai te amah lungbuei ah, “Nan cae tang mahpawh,” a ti?
14 Thou dost see it; yea, thou beholdest malice and oppression, And markest it upon thy hand! The poor committeth himself to thee; Thou art the helper of 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 thou the arm of the unjust and wicked man; Seek out his wickedness, till thou canst find none!
Boethae halang kah a ban te khaem pah. A halangnah te cae pah lamtah hlun boeh.
16 Jehovah is king for ever and ever; The gentiles shall perish out of his land.
BOEIPA tah kumhal ah manghai yoeyah tih, a khohmuen kah namtom rhoek tah milh uh ni.
17 Thou, O LORD! wilt hear the desires of the distressed; Thou wilt strengthen their hearts; Thou wilt lend a listening ear!
Kodo rhoek kah ngaihlihnah te BOEIPA nang loh na hna neh na hnatung tih, na yaak dongah, a lungbuei na cikngae sak.
18 Thou wilt maintain the cause of the fatherless and the oppressed, That henceforth none may be driven from the land.
Cadah neh hlanghnaep pahnap ham laitloek pah. Diklai lamkah hlanghing taengah, a sarhing ham te koep khoep boel saeh.
