Psalms 58
1 When you mighty men speak, you never say what is right; you never decide things about people justly [RHQ]!
Aka mawt ham David kah, “Phae boeh “laa Duengnah he olmueh na ti uh tih, hlang ca rhoek taengah vanatnah neh lai na tloek uh tang a?
2 No, in your inner beings you think only about doing what is wrong, and you commit violent crimes in this land [of Israel].
Tedae, lungbuei neh dumlai na saii. Diklai ah kuthlahnah te na kut dongah na thuek.
3 Wicked people do wrong things and tell lies from the time that they are born [DOU].
Halang rhoek tah bung khui lamloh kholong uh coeng tih, laithae aka thui rhoek khaw a bungko khui lamloh kho a hmang uh.
4 God, show in the heavens how great you are! And show your glory to people all over the earth! What wicked people say [injures people like] the venom of a snake [MET]; They refuse to listen to good advice, [as though they were] cobras that were deaf [MET]!
Amih kah kosi te rhul sue phek la om tih minta hnapang bangla a hna a buem.
5 As a result, [like a snake that does not respond when] a charmer plays a flute or when someone sings magic songs, [they do not pay attention when others rebuke them].
Te vaengah aka hloih thai rhoek loh a hloih vaengkah a sisuk ol te ya pawh.
6 God, as for these enemies who [want to attack me like] young lions, break their teeth!
Pathen aw, amih ka dongkah a no te koengloeng pah. BOEIPA aw sathueng kah kamkenno te thuk pah.
7 Cause them to disappear like water disappears [in dry ground]! Cause the arrows that they shoot to have no (heads/sharp points)!
Amih te tui aka long bangla yip kak uh saeh. Thaltang, thaltang a phuk te haih pah tangloeng saeh.
8 Cause them to become like snails that disappear in the slime; cause them to be like babies that are born dead!
Hnap neh aka thoeih lainat neh huta aka rhumpu bangla khomik hmu uh boel saeh.
9 Get rid of them [as fast as] thornbushes are blown away [after they are cut] (OR, [as fast as] a fire heats a pot over burning thorns).
Na umam loh a yakming uh hlan ah cangpalam loh a yawn bangla hling khaw, thinghing khaw thingkoh khaw yawn saeh.
10 Righteous people will rejoice when they see wicked people being punished as they deserve; they will wash their feet in the blood of wicked people.
Phulohnah a hmuh vaengah hlang dueng loh a kohoe vetih halang kah thii neh a kho a silh ni.
11 [Then] people will say, “It is true that there is a reward for righteous people; and there is indeed a God who judges people justly here on the earth!”
Te vaengah pilnam loh, “Aka dueng ham thapang om pai. Diklai ah Pathen loh lai a tloek pai,” a ti ni.
