Tingtoeng 14

1 Aka mawt ham David kah Hlang ang loh amah lungbuei neh, “Pathen om pawh,” a ti dongah poci uh tih, a bibi khaw tueilaeh kap. A then aka saii khaw om pawh.

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

2 Vaan lamkah BOEIPA loh hlang ca rhoek te hmuh hamla a dan. Pathen aka toem lungming khaw om van nim?

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

3 Hlang boeih loh thikat la taengphael uh tih rhonging uh. A then aka saii om pawh. Pakhat khaw om pawh.

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

4 Ka pilnam vaidam la aka bai tih aka yoop, BOEIPA aka khue mueh, boethae aka saii boeih loh ming mahpawt nim?

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

5 Aka dueng thawnpuei taengah Pathen a om dongah birhihnah neh pahoi birhih uh.

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

6 Mangdaeng kah a cilsuep te na rholrhak cakhaw BOEIPA te anih kah hlipyingnah ni.

Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because Yhwh is his refuge.

7 Zion lamkah Isreal khangnah u long hang khuen. BOEIPA loh a pilnam thongtla te a lat vaengah Jakob omngaih saeh lamtah Israel a kohoe saeh.

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