Sam 52

1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe athakaawme tami, bangkong ne thoenae hoi na kambawng. Cathut hawinae teh a kangning yungyoe.

[For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, "David has come to Abimelech's house."] Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God's loving kindness endures continually.

2 Na lai ni rawknae heh a sak teh, sam ngawnae pataca patetlah dumyennae hah na sak.

Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3 Hawinae hlak thoenae hah na ngaihnawn teh, lannae hlak hai laithoe dei e hah na ngaihnawn. (Selah)

You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah)

4 Nang kadumyenkung lai, pathoenae pueng hah na doun.

You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.

5 Hot patetlah Cathut ni kho na saknae hmuen koehoi na pâlei han. Kahringnaw onae ram koehoi na phawk vaiteh, na raphoe vaiteh, a yungyoe na kahma han. (Selah)

God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

6 Tamikalannaw ni hmawt awh vaiteh a taki awh han.

The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,

7 Cathut kâuep laipalah, mae tawnta e kâuep niteh, mae hawihoehnae dawk mangkhak kaawm e hei, khenhaw! hei, tet awh vaiteh, a panuikhai awh han.

"Look, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and was confident in his desire."

8 Kai teh Cathut e im dawk olive thing dikhring e patetlah ka o teh, Cathut e a lungmanae teh a yungyoe ka kâuep han.

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house. I trust in God's loving kindness forever and ever.

9 Nang ni na sak dawkvah, a yungyoe na pholen han. Na tami kathoungnaw hmalah na min ka ngaihawi han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hetteh ahawi.

I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your faithful ones.
