Saam 14

1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, David ih saam laa. Kamthu loe angmah ih palungthung ah, Sithaw om ai, tiah thuih. Nihcae loe amro o moe, panuet thok hmuennawk to sak o, kahoih hmuen sah kami maeto doeh om ai.

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good.

2 Thaikophaih tawn kami hoi Sithaw pakrong kami oh maw tiah hnuk hanah, Sithaw mah van hoiah kami capanawk to khet tathuk.

The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

3 Kaminawk loe loklam amkhraeng o boih, nihcae loe panuet thok ah oh o boih boeh: kahoih hmuen sah kami maeto doeh om ai, om roe om ai, maeto doeh om ai.

They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that does good, no, not one.

4 Takaw a caak o baktih toengah, kai ih kaminawk to a caak o; zaehaih sah kaminawk boih loe panoekhaih tawn ai ah maw oh o?

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

5 Katoeng kaminawk khaeah Sithaw oh pongah, nihcae loe paroeai zithaih hoiah koi o.

There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Angraeng loe amtang kaminawk abuephaih ah oh pongah, amtang kaminawk atimhaih to na paro pae o.

All of you have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

7 Aw Israelnawk pahlonghaih loe Zion hoiah angzoh! Angraeng mah angmah ih kaminawk misong thung hoiah hoih let naah, Jakob loe oephaih tawn ueloe, Israel loe anghoe tih.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD brings back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
