Psalms 58
1 To the Overseer. — 'Destroy not.' — A secret treasure, by David. Is it true, O dumb one, righteously ye speak? Uprightly ye judge, O sons of men?
Kathutkung: Devit Nangmouh duem na kaawm e naw, lannae lawk hah na dei awh katang maw. Oe tami capanaw kalanlah lawk na ceng awh maw.
2 Even in heart ye work iniquities, In the land the violence of your hands ye ponder.
Na ceng awh hoeh, na lungthung vah, hawihoehnae na sak awh. Talaivan na kut hoi thamanae yawcu hoi na khing awh.
3 The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.
Tamikathoutnaw teh, von thung hoi lam a payon awh toe. A tâco awh tahma vah, laithoe dei laihoi lam a payon awh.
4 Their poison [is] as poison of a serpent, As a deaf asp shutting its ear,
Asue teh hrunthoesue patetlah ao. A hnâ ka pang e tahrun a hnâ pahru e patetlah ao.
5 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of charms most skilful.
Hote tahrun ni teh tahrun camnae lawk hai thai thai hoeh. Camnae la sak e hai thai thai hoeh.
6 O God, break their teeth in their mouth, The jaw-teeth of young lions break down, O Jehovah.
Oe Cathut, a kâko e hâ hah khoe pouh haw. Oe BAWIPA, athakaawme sendek nônaw hah khoe pouh haw.
7 They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceedeth as they cut themselves off.
Ka lawng lahun e tui patetlah kahmat awh naseh. Licung a sawn awh toteh, ahnimae palanaw teh koung kâkhoe naseh.
8 As a snail that melteth he goeth on, [As] an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.
A cei lahun nah kahmat e kongkaraw patetlah kahmat awh naseh. Camo karawk e ni kanî a hmu hoeh e patetlah awm awh naseh.
9 Before your pots discern the bramble, As well the raw as the heated He whirleth away.
Pâkhing pho hoi patawi e hmai, hlaam a bet hoehnahlan vah, kahring e pâkhing pho hoi hmai ka kang e pâkhing phonaw teh, bongparui ni cetkhai naseh.
10 The righteous rejoiceth that he hath seen vengeance, His steps he washeth in the blood of the wicked.
Tamikalannaw ni hot patetlah e reknae hah a hmu awh toteh, a konawm awh han.
11 And man saith: 'Surely fruit [is] for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!'
Tamikathoutnaw e thi dawk a khok a pâsu awh han. Hottelah tami ni, ayânaw hanelah tawkphu ao tie hoi lawkcengkung Cathut ao katang ati awh han.
