Saam 58
1 Nangmih ukkungkhqi ak thym na nu awi namik kqawn ce? Thlangkhqi anglakawh ak thym na nu awi nami deng?
For the leader. Al tashheth. Of David. A michtam. Do you speak what is right, you gods? With equity judge you your people?
2 Nak kawk khuiawh taw amak thym poek u tiksaw, nami kutkhqi ing ak che ik-oeih ni naming thoeng sak uh.
In the land you practise iniquity – all of you; violence do you dispense with your hands.
3 Thlakche taw a thang plek awhkawng lam pleng qoe hawh hy; a nu a puk khui awhkawng qaai awi kqawn doena thoek hy qoe hawh uhy.
The wicked go astray from the womb liars take the wrong path from their birth.
4 Cekkhqi a chy taw khqui a chy amyihna awm nawh, ngentau a haa ak pangkhqi amyihna awm uhy,
Venom have they like the venom of snakes, they are like the deaf adder that stops her ears,
5 Kawmih aih dyna thoemnaak ing mawk mai seiawm,
and refuses to listen to the voice of the charmer, or binder of spells, no matter how cunning.
6 Aw Khawsa, cekkhqi am kha awhkaw ami haakhqi ce khoeng pe lah; Aw Bawipa, samthyyn a haakhqi ve ek sak kang lah.
O God, break to pieces the teeth in their mouth, tear out the great teeth of the young lions, Lord.
7 Qam na ak lawng tui amyihna qeng sak bang nawhtaw; licung ami hawi awh ce ami lakhqi rem pe kang seh.
May they melt away like running water! Like tender grass, cut down may they be!
8 Kawlawk taw ang thoeih awh tui a zut noe noe amyihna, naasen ak qawk amyihna, khawmik qoe koeh hu u seh.
Like the snail that dissolves on its crawling path, like the birth untimely which sees not the sunlight.
9 Nak amkhqi ing hling maih hlawk ang zaak hlan awh - a hqing awm ak koh awm- thlak che taw qeng bang kaw.
Faster than a thorn-fire heats your pots, he will come with his tempest and sweep them away.
10 Lu lawh na awm nawh thlak chekhqi a thi ing khaw ami silh awh ce thlakdyngkhqi taw zeel kawm uh.
The sight of such vengeance will gladden the righteous; their feet they will wash in the blood of the wicked.
11 Cawhtaw thlangkhqi ing; “thlakdyng khqi taw laksawng huk cang unawh; Khawmdek awi ak dengkung awm awm cang ti maw ve” ti kawm uh.
People will say, “Yes, the just are rewarded: yes, on the earth is a God who is Judge.”
