Psalms 37
1 David’s. [An Alphabetical Psalm.] Burn not with vexation because of evil-doers, Be not envious of the workers of perversity;
Kathutkung: Devit Thoenae kasaknaw kecu dawk lungmathoe hoi awm hanh awh. Payonnae kasaknaw hai ut awh hanh.
2 For, like grass, soon shall they wither, and, like green herbage, shall they fade.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, phokahring patetlah palang kamyai awh vaiteh, anhna kahring patetlah palang a due awh han.
3 Trust in Yahweh, and do good, Dwell in the land, and feed on fidelity;
BAWIPA kâuep nateh, hawinae hah sak haw. Ram thung awm nateh, yuemkamcunae hah hringkhaih.
4 Yea, rest thy delight on Yahweh, that he may give thee the requests of thy heart.
BAWIPA dawk konawm haw. Na lungngai e hah na poe han.
5 Roll on Yahweh thy way, Trust also in him, and, he, will effectually work:
Na lamthung hah BAWIPA koe poe haw, ama kâuep haw, ama ni a sak han.
6 So will he bring forth, as the light, thy righteousness, and thy vindication as the noonday.
Na lannae teh angnae patetlah tâcawt sak vaiteh, na kângingnae hah kanîthun patetlah ao sak han.
7 Be resigned to Yahweh, yea wait with longing for him; Burn not with vexation at him who prospereth in his way, —at the man who doeth wickedness.
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, Burn not with vexation—[it would be] only to do evil;
Na lungphuen sak hanh, lungkhueknae cettakhai haw. Lungmathoe hoi awm hanh. Hot ni teh, hawihoehnae koe doeh na hrawi.
9 For, evil doers, shall be cut off, but, as for them who wait for Yahweh, 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 Yet a little, therefore, and the lawless one shall not be, Yea thou shalt look about, over his place—and he shall have vanished!
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 patient oppressed-ones, shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves over the abundance of prosperity.
Hatei, a lungkanem e ni talai râw a coe vaiteh, kapap e roumnae dawk a lunghawi awh han.
12 Plotting is the lawless one, against the just, and gnashing upon him with his teeth.
Tamikathout ni tamikalan a youk teh, a hâkam a kata sin.
13 My Lord, shall laugh at him, for he seeth, that his day, will come.
Hatei, Bawipa ni tamikathout teh a panui sin. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimae hnin ka tho hane hah a panue.
14 A sword, have the lawless, drawn out, and have trodden their bow, —To bring down the oppressed and the needy, To slaughter the upright in life:
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 bow, shall be broken.
Hatei, amamae tahloi teh amamae lung dawk kâen vaiteh, ahnimae licung teh khoe lah ao han.
16 Better the little of the righteous man, than the abundance of the lawless who are mighty;
Tamikathout ni tawnta e hlak, tamikalan ni younca a tawn e ahawihnawn.
17 For, the arms of the lawless, shall be broken, But Yahweh is upholding the righteous.
Bangtelah tetpawiteh, tamikathout e kut teh khoe lah awm vaiteh, tamikalan e kut teh BAWIPA ni a kabawp han.
18 Yahweh knoweth the days of the blameless, that, their inheritance, unto times age-abiding, shall continue.
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 time of calamity, and, in the days of famine, shall they be filled.
Ahnimouh teh, atueng mathoe nahaiyah, yeirai phawt awh mahoeh. Takang tue nahaiyah, a von a paha awh han.
20 For, the lawless, shall perish, and, the foes of Yahweh, be like the glory of the meadows, They have vanished! In smoke, have they vanished!
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 A lawless man borroweth, and will not repay, But, a righteous man, showeth favour and giveth;
Tamikathout niteh, a cawi e patho hoeh toe. Hatei, tamikalan niteh, a pahren teh a poe.
22 For, such as are blessed of him, shall inherit the earth, But, the 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 From Yahweh, are the steps of a man made firm, When, with his way, he is well pleased:
Tamikalannaw e khoktabei teh BAWIPA ni a caksak teh, a ceinae lamthung hah a ngai pouh.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be hurled headlong, For, Yahweh, is holding his hand.
A tâlaw nakunghai, poutnae koe phat mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni ahnie kut a kuet pouh.
25 Young, have I been, moreover am old, —Yet have I not seen, A righteous man 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 All day long, is he showing favour and lending, his seed, therefore, shall have a blessing.
Ayâ a lungma teh, a cawi sak dawkvah, a ca catounnaw teh yawhawinae a coe awh.
27 Turn from evil, and do good, and so settle down, unto times age-abiding.
Yonnae cettakhai nateh, hawinae sak nateh, hete ram dawk pou awm haw.
28 For, Yahweh, loveth justice, and will not forsake his men of lovingkindness, Unto times age-abiding, have the perverse been destroyed, —and the seed of the lawless, been cut off.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni kângingnae hah a lungpataw. A tamikathoungnaw cettakhai boihoeh. Lungmawng lah pou ao sak.
29 The righteous, shall inherit the earth, that they may settle down, to futurity, thereupon.
Tamikalan ni ram heh râw lah a coe vaiteh, a thung vah kho pou a sak awh han.
30 The mouth of a righteous man, softly uttereth wisdom, and, his tongue, speaketh justice:
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, his steps shall not swerve.
A Cathut e kâlawk teh a lungthin thung ao dawkvah, a cei toteh tâlaw mahoeh.
32 The lawless man, lieth in wait, for the just, and seeketh to put him to death:
Tamikathout ni tamikalan a pawp teh, thei hanelah ouk a tawng.
33 Yahweh, 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 for Yahweh, and observe thou his path, that he may exalt thee, to inherit the earth, On the cutting off of the lawless, shalt thou look.
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 a lawless man, a tyrant, and spreading himself out, like a cedar in Lebanon;
Tamikathout hoi tamitongthoenaw teh, ung e thingkung patetlah, hluthlut a naw awh e hah ka hmu toe.
36 Then I passed by, and lo! he had vanished! 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 blameless man, and behold the upright, for there is a hereafter for the man of peace;
Kuepnae hah pouk nateh, lannae hah lueplueppouk haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hmâ lah a coe hane teh, lungmawngnae doeh.
38 But, transgressors, are to be destroyed together, the hereafter of lawless men, is to be cut off.
Hatei, tamikayonnaw teh, koung raphoe lah awm vaiteh, tamikathoutnaw ni a coe hane haiyah, raphoenae hah doeh.
39 But, the deliverance of the righteous, is from Yahweh, their refuge in a time of distress.
Tamikalan rungngangnae teh, BAWIPA koehoi doeh. Ahni teh runae tueng nah kânguenae im doeh.
40 Thus hath Yahweh helped them, thus hath he delivered them, —He will deliver them from the lawless, and will save them, because they have sought refuge in him.
BAWIPA ni kabawm vaiteh, a rungngang han. Ama a kâuep dawkvah, tamikathoutnaw thung hoi a rasa teh ouk a rungngang.
