Psalms 58
1 When you mighty men speak, you never say what is right; you never decide things about people justly [RHQ]!
Vaihom ho nanghon thutah kiti hi ipi kisei na ahi nahet u hinam? Nang hon thu adih'a natan'u hinam?
2 No, in your inner beings you think only about doing what is wrong, and you commit violent crimes in this land [of Israel].
Ahipoi! Nang ho'n na lungsung un thudihlou na gong'un gamsung a hunam a natohna ngen na chelheh sah un ahi.
3 Wicked people do wrong things and tell lies from the time that they are born [DOU].
Miphalou ho hi chonsesa peng'a ahiuvin, ahung pen'uva pat'in jou apan'un ama deidan cheh'in achon'un ahi.
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]!
Ama hon gul bangin gu hat tah alhao vin; gulsoh bang in thuhil angainom pouve.
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].
Gul lam sahhon atheile'u ichan geija amut ngeisel vang un akihetmosah un ahi.
6 God, as for these enemies who [want to attack me like] young lions, break their teeth!
O Elohim Pathen a-ha uhi suhbong jeng'in, O Yahweh Pakai hiche keipi bahkai ho hi a-ha'u suhgoi peh jeng'in.
7 Cause them to disappear like water disappears [in dry ground]! Cause the arrows that they shoot to have no (heads/sharp points)!
Tolgo'a twi isunlhah a agotloiji bang'in mangthah loi jeng'u hen. Akhut uva achoi u agal manchah'u chu manmo sosah jeng'in.
8 Cause them to become like snails that disappear in the slime; cause them to be like babies that are born dead!
Dahdeng amacham'a ajunlhah ji bang'in junlhahsah'in, naosen athisa hung peng nisa mumanlou bah sah in.
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).
Hampa kisatlha bang in ateh akhang Elohim Pathen in lhamlha jeng uhen, leibel meikou lah a ling le khao kigouvam sang a gang jo jeng u hen.
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.
Thildih lou ho akilethuh teng mi chonpha ho kipah di'u ahi.
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!”
Chuteng achaina le mijousen asei diu ahi, “Elohim Pathen a dia hing ho dihtheina chu kipa thilpeh ahin; leiset a jong thudih a thutan Elohim Pathen aum mong e.”
