< Psalms 10 >

1 Wherefore, O Yahweh, shouldst thou stand afar off? [Wherefore] hide thyself, in times of destitution?
Aw Bawipa, kawtih ak hla na nang dyih? Kyinaak a awm huiawh kawtih nang thuh qu valh?
2 In the pride of the lawless one, he hotly pursueth the poor, let them be caught in the plots which they have devised!
Ak oek qu soeih thlak che ing tha amak awm thlangkhqi, amah ing teng nawh am tu thlangkhqi ce hquut hy.
3 For the lawless one hath boasted over the longing of his soul, and, the robber, hath blasphemed Yahweh.
Ak kawlung hymnaak awh oek qu nawh; ak lawn na ak ngaih ce zoeksang nawh Bawipa taw hlah phlam hy.
4 The lawless one, in the loftiness of his countenance, will not enquire, God is not in any of his plots:
Ak oek qu thlak che ingtaw amah ingkaw amah am sui qu nawh; Ak poeknaak boeih awh Khawsa ham hun qoe am awm hy.
5 His ways are firm at all times, On high, are thy righteous regulations, out of his sight, As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them:
A lamkhqi boeih awh a zo awm hy. Anaa a hqam aih awh nang a cawngpyinaak awi ing hla qu hy nih; a qaalkhqi boeih ce huhsitnaak ing qaih na hy.
6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be shaken, —From generation to generation, shall I be in no misfortune.
Amah ingtaw, Ikaw ingawm am ning tah sak tikaw; zeel loet nyng saw kyinaak am hu tang tikawng” tinawh poek hy.
7 With cursing, his mouth is full, and with deceptions and oppression, Under his tongue, are trouble and mischief:
Anih am kha taw seet lawhnaak, qaainaak ingkaw kqih am hqinnaak ing be hy, am lai awh awm kyinaak ingkaw seetnaak doek khoeih ni.
8 He abideth in the lurking-place of villages, In the hiding-places, he murdereth the innocent, —His eyes, for the unfortunate, are on the watch:
Khawkeng imceng khqi awh ngawi nawh, ak awm poek poek khqi ce mam nawh him hy.
9 He lieth in wait in a hiding-place, like a lion in his covert, He lieth in wait to catch the humbled, He catcheth the humbled, by drawing him into his net:
Sendeih ing ak kawk khui awhkawng a qeh dym amyihna, a hlip naak awh qeh hy, hulkung amak awm thlang ce tu aham qeh nawh; bawmkung amak awmkhqi ce lawk ing sing hy.
10 He croucheth, he lieth down, then falleth he with his strong claws upon the unfortunate.
A thekhanaak thlangkhqi ce kqih am hqin hy; cekkhqi ce ak thaawmnaak khuiawh tlaak sak khqi hy.
11 He hath said in his heart, GOD hath forgotten, —He hath veiled his face, Oh he hath never seen!
Amah ingtaw Khawsa ing hilh hawh hy; a hai sing khoep nawh am hu thai voel hy” tina poek hy.
12 Arise! Yahweh! O GOD! raise thy hand, —Do not forget the patient!
Aw Bawipa, tho hlah! Aw Khawsa na kut thlek hlah, hulkung amak ta thlangkhqi ce koeh hilh.
13 Wherefore hath the lawless one blasphemed God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it]!
Thlak che ing kawtih Bawipa a thekha naak? Ikawtih amah ingkaw amah, “Ikaw am ni tina tang”, tina ak poek hy voei?
14 Thou hast seen! For, thou, mischief and misery, dost discern, to requite with thine own hand, Unto thee, doth, the unfortunate one, give himself up, To the fatherless, thou thyself, hast become a helper.
Cehlai aw Khawsa, kyinaak ingkaw ko kqangnaak ve toek nawhtaw; na kut khuiawh lawh aham poek lah. Kyinaak ak hukhqi ing nang a venawh pe qu unawh, pa amak takhqi ak hulkung na awm hyk ti.
15 Shatter thou the arm of the lawless one, And, as for the wrongful, wilt thou not enquire for his lawlessness—wilt thou not find [it]?
Thlak chekhqi ingkaw thlak thawlh a baan ce hqem pe nawh; huh thai na ama awm hlan dy awh a thawlhnaak ce tlet pe lah.
16 Yahweh, is king, to times age-abiding and beyond, The nations have perished out of his land.
Bawipa taw kumqui awhkawng kumqui dy sangpahrang na awm hy; pilnam thlangkhqi taw a kut awhkawng kqeng bang kawm uh.
17 The longing of the patient, thou hast heard, O Yahweh, Thou wilt establish their heart, Thou wilt make attentive thine ear:
Aw Bawipa, khuikha ak hukhqi a ngaihnaak ce zaak penawh; tha na peek coengawh, cekkhqi ang kqangnaak awi ce ngai pe hyk ti.
18 To vindicate the fatherless and the crushed, A man of the earth, shall, no further, cause terror!
Pa amak takhqi ingkaw a thenaak khqi ce dyih pyi nawh, khawmdek thlangkhqi ing cekkhqi ce am huhsit hqa voel hy.
