Psalms 73
1 A Psalm of Asaph. Only — good to Israel [is] God, to the clean of heart. And I — as a little thing, My feet have been turned aside,
Kawlung ak ciim, Israelkhqi venawh Khawsa taw leek tak tak hy.
2 As nothing, have my steps slipped, For I have been envious of the boastful,
Cehlai, kai aham taw, ka khaw ve bah tawm ca nawh; dyih hun hlauh tawm na awm nyng.
3 The peace of the wicked I see, That there are no bands at their death,
Ikawtih, thlak chekhqi ami kam ak awm ce ka huh awh ak oek qukhqi ce nai haunyng.
4 And their might [is] firm.
Ami thih awh ce khuikha am sim voel hy; ami pumqawkhqi ami sa dip pyng pyng nawh amik tha awm hy.
5 In the misery of mortals they are not, And with common men they are not plagued.
Thlak changkhqi amyihna phyihqih am za tlaih uhy; thlanghqing tlawhnaak ing am khuikha sak khqi tlaih hy.
6 Therefore hath pride encircled them, Violence covereth them as a dress.
Cedawngawh oek qunaak ce aawi na awi unawh; khawboe seetnaak ing thoeih ang cam qu uhy.
7 Their eye hath come out from fat. The imaginations of the heart transgressed;
Thin hqamnaak awhkawng thawlhnaak ce law hy; qaai kqawnnaak kawpoek ing a qi am ta qoe hy.
8 They do corruptly, And they speak in the wickedness of oppression, From on high they speak.
Kawpoek seetnaak ing thlang qaih na unawh; oek qunaak ing thang the a kha na uhy.
9 They have set in the heavens their mouth, And their tongue walketh in the earth.
Amim khakhqi ce khanna ak awm na ngai unawh, amim laikhqi ing khawmdek ik-oeih ce lo uhy.
10 Therefore do His people return hither, And waters of fulness are wrung out to them.
Cedawngawh ak thlangkhqi ing a mimah a venna hlai unawh tui hqawng ce aw thu hqut uhy.
11 And they have said, 'How hath God known? And is there knowledge in the Most High?'
Cekkhqi ing, Ikawmyihna Khawsa ing ani sim naak kaw? Sawsang Soeih awh ak awm ce ak cyi hy voei nu?” ti uhy.
12 Lo, these [are] the wicked and easy ones of the age, They have increased strength.
Thalk chekhqi taw vemyihna awm uhy – ikawmyih poeknaak awm am ta voel uhy, a boeina boei khqoet khqoet uhy.
13 Only — a vain thing! I have purified my heart, And I wash in innocency my hands,
Kawlung ak caihna ka taak ve a hoeina awm nawh kut sil nyng ka awm dym awm a hoeina awm hy.
14 And I am plagued all the day, And my reproof [is] every morning.
Khawnghi zung khuikha za nyng saw; mymcang qoek awh phepnaak hu nyng.
15 If I have said, 'I recount thus,' Lo, a generation of Thy sons I have deceived.
Kai ing, Cemyih na sai u vang,” ka ti mantaw, na cakhqi ana zawi hawh kawng nyng.
16 And I think to know this, Perverseness it [is] in mine eyes,
Vemyihkhqi boeih ve zaaksim aham tha ka lawh awh, ka ham quh soeih hy.
17 Till I come in to the sanctuaries of God, I attend to their latter end.
Khawsa a hun ciim ka pha deng awh ni, a dytnaak ce kang zaksim hly hyn.
18 Only, in slippery places Thou dost set them, Thou hast caused them to fall to desolations.
A plainaak a hun awh cekkhqi ce nang ing ta tiksaw; plawci aham cekkhqi ce nuk khawng hyk ti.
19 How have they become a desolation as in a moment, They have been ended — consumed from terrors.
Ikawmyihna cekkhqi ce ami plawci bat paqap, kqih awmnaak ing cekkhqi ce nawi phang tlang pai hy!
20 As a dream from awakening, O Lord, In awaking, their image Thou despisest.
Thlang ing a hang hqyng awh ang mang kawna awm a mang ngaih amyihna, Aw Bawipa, nang awm na hang thawh awh, cekkhqi poeknaak mailai amyihna nang ing kawna awm am ngai kawp ti.
21 For my heart doth show itself violent, And my reins prick themselves,
Kak kawlung ko nawh kang myihla ak khuikha awh,
22 And I am brutish, and do not know. A beast I have been with Thee.
kaw awm a sim kaana a khat qat na awm hqoeng nyng; na haiawh qamsa myihna awm nyng.
23 And I [am] continually with Thee, Thou hast laid hold on my right hand.
Cehlai, nang a venawh awm loet nyng; nang ing ka kut kak tang benawh nim tu hyk ti.
24 With Thy counsel Thou dost lead me, And after honour dost receive me.
Nak poek na lahnaak ing ni sawi kawm tiksaw, cek coeng awhtaw boeimangnaak khuiawh ni ceh pyi kawp ti.
25 Whom have I in the heavens? And with Thee none I have desired in earth.
Nang kaa taw a u nu khawk khan awh ka taak bai kaw? Nang coeng awhtaw ka ngaih ve khawmdek ing am tahy.
26 Consumed hath been my flesh and my heart, The rock of my heart and my portion [is] God to the age.
Ka pumsa ingkaw kak kawlung ve tlu mai seiawm, Khawsa taw kak kawlung thaawmnaak ingkaw ka kumqui taham na awm hy.
27 For, lo, those far from Thee do perish, Thou hast cut off every one, Who is going a whoring from Thee.
Nang a ven awhkawng ak hlakhqi boeih ce qeeng kawm usaw; na venawh ypawm na amak awm thlangkhqi ce nang ing hqe kawp ti.
28 And I — nearness of God to me [is] good, I have placed in the Lord Jehovah my refuge, To recount all Thy works!
Cehlai, kai aham taw, Khawsa ing ak zoena awm ve nep hy. Boeimang Khawsa ce kang thuknaak hun na ta hawh nyng; na ik-oeih saikhqi boeih ce khypyi kawng nyng.
