Psalms 58
1 To the Chief Musician. "Do not Destroy." A precious Psalm, of David. Are ye, indeed, silent [when] righteousness, ye should speak? When, with equity, ye should judge, O ye sons of men?
Nangmih ukkungkhqi ak thym na nu awi namik kqawn ce? Thlangkhqi anglakawh ak thym na nu awi nami deng?
2 Aye! ye all do work, perversity, —Throughout the land, your hands, weigh out, violence!
Nak kawk khuiawh taw amak thym poek u tiksaw, nami kutkhqi ing ak che ik-oeih ni naming thoeng sak uh.
3 Lawless men have been estranged from birth, They have gone astray from their nativity, speaking falsehood;
Thlakche taw a thang plek awhkawng lam pleng qoe hawh hy; a nu a puk khui awhkawng qaai awi kqawn doena thoek hy qoe hawh uhy.
4 Their poison, is like unto the poison of a serpent, Like the deaf adder, that stoppeth his ear;
Cekkhqi a chy taw khqui a chy amyihna awm nawh, ngentau a haa ak pangkhqi amyihna awm uhy,
5 That will not hearken to the voice of whisperers, Though the wise one try to bind him with spells.
Kawmih aih dyna thoemnaak ing mawk mai seiawm,
6 O God! break away their teeth in their mouth, The biters of the young lions, knock thou out, O Yahweh!
Aw Khawsa, cekkhqi am kha awhkaw ami haakhqi ce khoeng pe lah; Aw Bawipa, samthyyn a haakhqi ve ek sak kang lah.
7 Let such men flow away like waters that disperse themselves: He prepareth his arrow, Like [grass] let them be cut down:
Qam na ak lawng tui amyihna qeng sak bang nawhtaw; licung ami hawi awh ce ami lakhqi rem pe kang seh.
8 Like a snail, which melteth away as it goeth, An untimely birth of a woman, which hath not seen the sun:
Kawlawk taw ang thoeih awh tui a zut noe noe amyihna, naasen ak qawk amyihna, khawmik qoe koeh hu u seh.
9 Before your kettles can perceive the [kindled] bramble, Be he green or be he withered, he shall be swept away.
Nak amkhqi ing hling maih hlawk ang zaak hlan awh - a hqing awm ak koh awm- thlak che taw qeng bang kaw.
10 The righteous man will rejoice when he hath seen an avenging, His feet, will he bathe in the blood of the lawless one: —
Lu lawh na awm nawh thlak chekhqi a thi ing khaw ami silh awh ce thlakdyngkhqi taw zeel kawm uh.
11 So that a son of earth may say—Surely there is fruit for the righteous man! Surely there are gods who judge in the earth!
Cawhtaw thlangkhqi ing; “thlakdyng khqi taw laksawng huk cang unawh; Khawmdek awi ak dengkung awm awm cang ti maw ve” ti kawm uh.
