< Psalms 52 >

1 You people [think that you] are strong and brag about the sins that you have committed, while you plan to harm godly people.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe athakaawme tami, bangkong ne thoenae hoi na kambawng. Cathut hawinae teh a kangning yungyoe.
2 All during the day you plan to get rid of [others]; what you say [MTY] [injures others] like a sharp razor [SIM], and you are [always] deceiving [others].
Na lai ni rawknae heh a sak teh, sam ngawnae pataca patetlah dumyennae hah na sak.
3 You like [doing what is] evil more than you like doing what is good, and you like telling lies more than you like telling the truth.
Hawinae hlak thoenae hah na ngaihnawn teh, lannae hlak hai laithoe dei e hah na ngaihnawn. (Selah)
4 You who say things [MTY] to deceive people, you like to say (things that hurt people/cruel things)!
Nang kadumyenkung lai, pathoenae pueng hah na doun.
5 But God will get rid of you forever; he will grab you and drag you from your home and take you away from this world where people are alive.
Hot patetlah Cathut ni kho na saknae hmuen koehoi na pâlei han. Kahringnaw onae ram koehoi na phawk vaiteh, na raphoe vaiteh, a yungyoe na kahma han. (Selah)
6 When righteous [people] see that, they will be awestruck, and they will laugh at [what happened to] you, and say,
Tamikalannaw ni hmawt awh vaiteh a taki awh han.
7 “Look [what happened to] the man who would not ask God to protect him; he trusted that his great wealth [would save him]; he trusted in the money that he got by wickedly taking it from others!”
Cathut kâuep laipalah, mae tawnta e kâuep niteh, mae hawihoehnae dawk mangkhak kaawm e hei, khenhaw! hei, tet awh vaiteh, a panuikhai awh han.
8 But I am [secure/safe because I worship] in God’s temple; I am like a [strong] green olive tree. I trust in God, who faithfully loves us forever.
Kai teh Cathut e im dawk olive thing dikhring e patetlah ka o teh, Cathut e a lungmanae teh a yungyoe ka kâuep han.
9 God, I will always thank you for the things that you have done. As I stand before godly [people], I will proclaim that you are good (OR, the many good [MTY] [things you have done for us]).
Nang ni na sak dawkvah, a yungyoe na pholen han. Na tami kathoungnaw hmalah na min ka ngaihawi han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hetteh ahawi.
