Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Do not fret over those who do evil; do not envy those who do wrong.
1Hmuensae sah kaminawk pongah palungboeng hmah loe, nihcae to awt hmah.
2For they wither quickly like grass and wilt like tender plants.
2Nihcae loe akra ai ah qam baktiah aat ueloe, qam kahing baktiah azaem o tih.
3Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
3Angraeng to oep ah loe, kahoih hmuen to sah ah; prae thungah om ah loe, poek caksak ah.
4Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.
4Angraeng ah anghoehaih tawn ah, to tih nahaeloe palung thung hoi na koeh ih hmuen to na paek tih.
5Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will do it.
5Na caehhaih loklam to Angraeng khaeah aap ah; anih to oep ah; to tih nahaeloe angmah na hoi tih.
6He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.
6Anih mah loe na toenghaih to hmai baktih, katoengah takroek ih lok to athun ih ni aengh baktiah aangsak tih.
7Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men prosper in their ways, when they carry out wicked schemes.
7Angraeng hmaa ah anghngai duem ah loe, anih to palungsawkhaih hoiah zing ah: a caehhaih loklam amkah hanah toksah thaih, sethaih poeng hanah toksah thaih kami pongah palungboeng hmah.
8Refrain from anger and abandon wrath; do not fret—it can only bring harm.
8Palungphui hmah loe, palung doeh baesak hmah: zaehaih sak hanah kahoih ai poekhaih to tawn hmah.
9For the evildoers will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
9Sethaih sah kaminawk loe pahnawt sut ah om tih, toe Angraeng zing kaminawk loe long to toep o tih.
10Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.
10Sethaih sah kami loe akra ai ah om mak ai boeh: ue, anih ih ahmuen to na pakrong khing cadoeh, na hnu mak ai.
11But the meek will inherit the land and delight in abundant prosperity.
11Toe tuinom tawn kaminawk loe long hae toep o ueloe, kating ai monghaih hoiah khosak nawm o tih.
12The wicked scheme against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them,
12Kasae kami mah loe katoeng kami to pacaeng moe, haa a kaek thuih.
13but the Lord laughs, seeing that their day is coming.
13Toe anih ih atue pha tih boeh, tiah Angraeng mah panoek pongah, anih to pahnui thuih.
14The wicked have drawn the sword and bent the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.
14Kasae kaminawk mah amtang kaminawk to amtimsak moe, toenghaih sah kaminawk to hum hanah, sumsen aphong thuih pacoengah, kalii to anueng thuih.
15But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
15Toe angmacae ih sumsen mah angmacae ih palung to thun pae ueloe, palaanawk doeh angkhaek pae tih.
16Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of many who are wicked.
16Kahoih ai kami angraeng parai pongah loe, katoeng kami mah tawn ih hmuen zetta to hoih kue.
17For the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
17Kasae kami ih ban loe angkhaek tih: toe katoeng kami loe Angraeng mah patawnh.
18The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their inheritance will last forever.
18Katoeng kaminawk ih aninawk loe Angraeng mah panoek pae: nihcae ih qawk loe dungzan khoek to cak poe tih.
19In the time of evil they will not be ashamed, and in the days of famine they will be satisfied.
19Nihcae loe sethaih tue phak naah azatpaw o mak ai; takaang thohhaih atue naah doeh zok amhah o tih.
20But the wicked and enemies of the LORD will perish like the glory of the fields. They will vanish; like smoke they will fade away.
20Toe kahoih ai kami loe anghma angtaa tih: Angraeng ih misanawk loe kathawk tuu baktiah om o cadoeh, amro o ueloe, hmaikhue baktiah anghma o boih tih.
21The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous are gracious and giving.
21Kahoih ai kami loe hmuenmae to coi, toe pathok let ai: toe katoeng kami mah loe palungnathaih to amtuengsak moe, paek let.
22Surely those He blesses will inherit the land, but the cursed will be destroyed.
22Angraeng tahamhoihaih tongh kaminawk loe, long hae toep o tih; anih mah tangoeng ih kaminawk loe pahnawt sut tih.
23The steps of a man are ordered by the LORD who takes delight in his journey.
23Kahoih kami ih khok tangkannawk loe Angraeng mah caksak; a caehhaih loklam nuiah palung tongh.
24Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed, for the LORD is holding his hand.
24Anih loe amthaek cadoeh, amtim bung mak ai: tipongah tih nahaeloe Angraeng mah anih ih ban to patawnh pae.
25I once was young and now am old, yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned or their children begging for bread.
25Katoeng kami to pahnawt sut, anih ih caanawk loe buh hnik o ti, tiah ka qoeng li nathuem hoi kamtong vaihi mitong khoek to ka panoek vai ai vop.
26They are ever generous and quick to lend, and their children are a blessing.
26Anih loe tahmenhaih tawnh moe, minawk han a paek pongah, a caanawk mah tahamhoihaih hnuk o.
27Turn away from evil and do good, so that you will abide forever.
27Kasae hmuen to caehtaak ah loe, kahoih hmuen to sah ah; to tiah nahaeloe prae thungah na om poe tih.
28For the LORD loves justice and will not forsake His saints. They are preserved forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off.
28Angraeng loe toenghaih to koeh pongah, angmah ih kaciim kaminawk to pahnawt sut ai; nihcae to dungzan khoek to khet poe: toe kasae kaminawk ih caanawk loe pahnawt suthaih to tongh o tih.
29The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.
29Katoeng kami loe long to toep ueloe, to ah dungzan khoek to om tih.
30The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
30Katoeng kami ih pakha mah loe palunghahaih lok to thuih; anih ih palai mah doeh toenghaih lok ni thuih.
31The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not falter.
31Anih loe Sithaw ih kaalok to palung thungah suek pongah, a caeh naah amthaek mak ai.
32Though the wicked lie in wait for the righteous, and seek to slay them,
32Kasae kami loe katoeng kami to hum hanah, angang.
33the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned under judgment.
33Toe Angraeng mah anih to kasae kami ban ah caehtaak sut mak ai, lokcaek naah doeh anih to sungsak mak ai.
34Wait for the LORD and keep His way, and He will raise you up to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
34Angraeng to zing ah loe a loklam to pazui ah, prae toep hanah anih mah na pakoeh tih: kasae kaminawk amro o naah, to hmuen to na hnu tih.
35I have seen a wicked, ruthless man flourishing like a well-rooted native tree,
35Kasae kami loe thacak moe, long kahoih pongah amprawk thing kahing baktiah qoeng tahang to ka hnuk.
36yet he passed away and was no more; though I searched, he could not be found.
36Toe anih loe laemh ving boeh, khenah, om ai boeh: ue, anih to ka pakrong, toe anih loe hnu thai ai boeh.
37Consider the blameless and observe the upright, for posterity awaits the man of peace.
37Kahoih kami hnuk ah bangah, katoeng kami to khen ah: to tiah sah kami loe hnukkhuem ah monghaih to hnu tih.
38But the transgressors will all be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off.
38Zaehaih sah kaminawk loe amro o ueloe, sethaih sah kaminawk loe hnukkhuem ah amrohaih tong o tih.
39The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their stronghold in time of trouble.
39Katoeng kami pahlonghaih loe Angraeng ih ni: raihaih tongh naah Angraeng loe nihcae thacakhaih ah oh.
40The LORD helps and delivers them; He rescues and saves them from the wicked, because they take refuge in Him.
40Angraeng mah nihcae to abomh ueloe, pahlong tih: anih khaeah amha o pongah, anih mah kasae kaminawk ban thung hoiah nihcae to pahlong tih.
