Psalms 58

1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David. Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?

Nangmih ukkungkhqi ak thym na nu awi namik kqawn ce? Thlangkhqi anglakawh ak thym na nu awi nami deng?

2 No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.

Nak kawk khuiawh taw amak thym poek u tiksaw, nami kutkhqi ing ak che ik-oeih ni naming thoeng sak uh.

3 The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

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.

4 Their poison is like the poison of a snake, like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,

Cekkhqi a chy taw khqui a chy amyihna awm nawh, ngentau a haa ak pangkhqi amyihna awm uhy,

5 which doesn’t listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skilful the charmer may be.

Kawmih aih dyna thoemnaak ing mawk mai seiawm,

6 Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, LORD.

Aw Khawsa, cekkhqi am kha awhkaw ami haakhqi ce khoeng pe lah; Aw Bawipa, samthyyn a haakhqi ve ek sak kang lah.

7 Let them vanish like water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.

Qam na ak lawng tui amyihna qeng sak bang nawhtaw; licung ami hawi awh ce ami lakhqi rem pe kang seh.

8 Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.

Kawlawk taw ang thoeih awh tui a zut noe noe amyihna, naasen ak qawk amyihna, khawmik qoe koeh hu u seh.

9 Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.

Nak amkhqi ing hling maih hlawk ang zaak hlan awh - a hqing awm ak koh awm- thlak che taw qeng bang kaw.

10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,

Lu lawh na awm nawh thlak chekhqi a thi ing khaw ami silh awh ce thlakdyngkhqi taw zeel kawm uh.

11 so that men shall say, “Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth.”

Cawhtaw thlangkhqi ing; “thlakdyng khqi taw laksawng huk cang unawh; Khawmdek awi ak dengkung awm awm cang ti maw ve” ti kawm uh.
