< Psalms 52 >

1 To the Overseer. — An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, 'David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.' What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day.
Nang tha ak awm soeih, kawtih ik-oeih amak leek awh nang oek qu hy voei? Khawsa mik huh awh chah qai na ak awm nang, kawtih myngawi nang oek qu paqap?
2 Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.
Nam lai ing seetnaak doeng cai sih nawh; zawzi ak hqat thak bat amyihna awm hy, qaai kqawnnaak doeng ce sai hyk ti.
3 Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
Ik-oeih leek anglakawh ik-oeh che ce lungna lat tiksaw, awitak kqawn anglakawh amak thym awih kqawn ce ngaih bet hyk ti.
4 Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
Aw qaai kqawnnaak ing ak be lai! Awih tlo kqawn ce lungna hyk ti.
5 Also — God doth break thee down for ever, Taketh thee, and pulleth thee out of the tent, And He hath uprooted thee Out of the land of the living. (Selah)
Khawsa ing kumqui plamnaak na ni nuk thla kaw; nang ce ni qawt kawmsaw na khawnghi im awhkawng nik dawk plawk kaw; na awmnaak qam awhkawng nak kqa mah na ni phu kaw.
6 And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.
Thlakdyngkhqi ing hu kawm usaw kqih kawm uh; a mingmih ing qaih na kawm usaw, vemyihna,
7 'Lo, the man who maketh not God his strong place, And trusteth in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.'
Khawsa ce vawngcak na taak kaana amah a boeinaak ypna lat nawh thlang hqenaak ben awh tha ak awm thyk thlang vawh awm hy ve!” tina kawm uh.
8 And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, To the age and for ever,
Cehlai, kai taw Khawsa ip khuiawh ak qah olive thing amyihna awm nyng; amak dyt thai Khawsa lungnaak ce ni kumqui ingkaw kumqui dyna ka ypnaak.
9 I thank Thee to the age, because Thou hast done [it], And I wait [on] Thy name for [it is] good before Thy saints!
Na ik-oeih sai awh kumqui dyna ni zoeksang kawng nyng saw; namah ang ming awh ngaih-unaak ce ta kawng nyng, kawtih namah ang ming taw leek hy. Nak thlang ciimkhqi haiawh nang ce nim kyih kawng nyng.
