La Bu 52
1 Galhang nangma idia na thilse bol ho kiletsahpi nahim? Pathen thutan dihje hi tonsotna acheing helou nahim?
For the end, [a Psalm] of instruction by David, when Doec the Idumean came and told Saul, and said to him, David is gone to the house of Abimelech. Why do you, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in [your] mischief? All the day
2 Nilhum kei keijin nangman manthahna ding jeng na gong e. Na leigui in jong samchem hemtah in mi a-at abang’in; jouthu sei in nangma anthem lheh e.
your tongue has devised unrighteousness; like a sharpened razor you have wrought deceit.
3 Nang’in thilpha sang’in thilse na deijon, thutah sangin jong jou nadeijoi.
You have loved wickedness more than goodness; unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. (Pause)
4 Nathu jou hoa chun nangman mi suhmang ding nadei e!
You has loved all words of destruction, [and] a deceitful tongue.
5 Hinlah Pathen’in nangma na hin suhmanghel ding ahi. Aman na in’a kon a nahin kaidoh ding chuleh mihing chenna gam’a kon’a na hin bodoh ding ahi.
Therefore may God destroy you for ever, may he pluck you up and utterly remove you from [your] dwelling, and your root from the land of the living. (Pause)
6 Mi chonpha hon hichu hin muvintin ahin datmo di’u ahi. Amahon hin nuisat intin aseidi’u ahi,
And the righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say,
7 “Veuvin Pathen tahsanlou galhat ho chung’a hi ipi thil soh’a hitam? Amaho ahao nao a akisong’un, athilse bol nao a akhangtou cheh cheh un ahi.
Behold the man who made not God his help; but trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and strengthened himself in his vanity.
8 Hinlah, keima vang Pathen houin sung’a keh Olive thing hing hoitah tobang kahin, keiman phattin’a Pathen mi ngailutna long lou chu katahsan jing ding ahi.
But I am as a fruitful olive in the house of God: I have trusted in the mercy of God for ever, even for evermore.
9 O Pathen na thilpha bol jeh hin nangma thangvah jing ingting na mithengte masang’a na min ngeitah chu tahsan jing tang’e.
I will give thanks to you for ever, for you have done [it]: and I will wait on your name; for [it is] good before the saints.
