Psalms 58
1 To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam. Is righteousness indeed silent? Do ye speak it? Do ye judge with equity, ye sons of men?
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih miktam. Anih ih bungmu to paro hmah. Aw kaminawk, na thuih o ih loknawk loe toeng tangtang hmang maw? Aw kaminawk, katoeng ah lok na caek o hmang maw?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
Tangtang ni, palung thung hoiah kasae na poek o, na bannawk mah long nuiah athii to palong o.
3 The wicked go astray from the womb; they err as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
Kasae kaminawk loe zok thung hoiah ni a set o roe boeh; tapen tangsuek nathuem hoiah loklam amkhraeng o boeh moe, lok amlai o boeh.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder which stoppeth her ear;
Nihcae ih kasoe loe pahui kasoe baktiah oh moe, naa pang pahui sae baktiah a oh o;
5 Which doth not hearken to the voice of enchanters, of one charming ever so wisely.
kawkruk ah thoemhaih hoiah thuih pae khing cadoeh, thuikungnawk ih lok to tahngai mak ai.
6 O God, break their teeth in their mouth; break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.
Aw Sithaw, nihcae pakha thung ih haanawk to khaek pae ah; Aw Angraeng, saning nawk kaipui ih anonawk to khaek pae ah.
7 Let them melt away as waters that flow off; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as blunted:
Nihcae loe kalong tui baktiah kang o boih nasoe; kalii anueng moe, kah o naah, palaanawk to angkhaek pae boih nasoe.
8 Let them be as a snail that melteth as it passeth away; [like] the untimely birth of a woman, let them not see the sun.
Nihcae loe longnat mah caeh naah atui amkaw noehnoeh baktih, atue pha ai ah tapen nongpata mah ni aengh hnu ai baktih toengah, dueh o boih nasoe.
9 Before your pots feel the thorns, green or burning, — they shall be whirled away.
Nang ih laomnawk mah soekhring thing hoi tik ih hmai kabae panoek ai naah, kahing soekhring kung hoi hmai kangqong soekhring kung to, kamhae takhi mah hmut phaeng nasoe.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his footsteps in the blood of the wicked:
Kami katoeng loe lulakhaih hnuk naah anghoe tih; anih loe kasae kaminawk ih athii hoiah a khok to pasae tih.
11 And men shall say, Verily there is fruit for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
To naah kaminawk mah, katoeng kaminawk hanah tangqum loe oh tangtang; anih loe long lokcaekkung Sithaw tangtang ni, tiah thui o tih.
