Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Sithaw loe poekciim kami hoi Israelnawk nuiah hoih tangtang.
1Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
2Toe ka khok loe amthaek tom boeh; kang doethaih ahmuen angthuih tom boeh.
2But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped.
3Poeksae kaminawk mah hnuk o ih tahamhoihaih to ka hnuk naah, amthu kaminawk to ka khit moeng boeh.
3For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4Nihcae loe duek naah patangkhang o ai; ngantui o moe, thacak o.
4They have no struggle in their death; their bodies are well-fed.
5Nihcae loe minawk kalah baktiah raihaih panoek o ai; minawk baktiah patang o ai.
5They are free of the burdens others carry; they are not afflicted like other men.
6To pongah amoekhaih to bungmu baktiah a oih o; pacaekthlaekhaih to khukbuen baktiah angkhuk o.
6Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence covers them.
7Hmuenmae hoi angraeng o pongah, nihcae ih mik loe tasa bangah tacawt dok; nihcae loe palung thung hoi poek ih hmuen pongah kamthlai ah koeh o.
7From their prosperity proceeds iniquity; the imaginations of their hearts run wild.
8Nihcae mah kahoih ai pacaekthlaekhaih to pahnuih o thuih; amoekhaih lok apaeh o.
8They mock and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.
9Nihcae loe pakha hoiah vannawk to kasae thuih o moe, palai to long pum ah amkaeh o sak.
9They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongues strut across the earth.
10To pongah Sithaw mah angmah ih kaminawk to amlaemsak let moe, a paek ih tui to kamhah ah naek o.
10So their people return to this place and drink up waters in abundance.
11Nihcae mah, Kawbangmaw Sithaw mah panoek tih? Kasang koek ah kaom loe panoekhaih tawnh maw? tiah thuih o.
11The wicked say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”
12Khenah, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe hae tiah oh o; nihcae loe long nuiah khosak hoih o moe, angraeng o aep aep.
12Behold, these are the wicked— always carefree as they increase their wealth.
13Tangtang ni, ka suek ih kaciim poekhaih loe azom pui ni; zaehaih om ai ah kam saeh ih ban doeh azom pui ah ni oh.
13Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure; in innocence I have washed my hands.
14Ni thokkruek patang ka khang, akhawnbang kruek thuitaekhaih to ka tongh.
14For I am afflicted all day long and punished every morning.
15To tiah kasae thuih han ka poek nahaeloe, khenah, na caanawk nuiah kasae sah kami ah ni ka om tih.
15If I had said, “I will speak this way,” then I would have betrayed Your children.
16Hae hmuen hae kawbangmaw ka panoek thaih han, tiah ka poek naah, kai hanah loe panoek han rai parai hmuen ah oh;
16When I tried to understand all this, it was troublesome in my sight
17hnukkhuem ah loe Sithaw ih hmuenciim thungah ka phak, to naah ni to hmuennawk boenghaih to ka panoek thai vop.
17until I entered God’s sanctuary; then I discerned their end.
18Tangtang thuih nahaeloe nang mah ni nihcae to kamnae ahmuen ah na suek moe, nihcae to amrohaih thungah na vah.
18Surely You set them on slick ground; You cast them down into ruin.
19Nihcae loe kawbangmaw, nawnetta thungah amro o halat! Hnukkhuem ah loe zitthok hmuen mah nihcae to paduek boih boeh.
19How suddenly they are laid waste, completely swept away by terrors!
20Kami mah angthawk naah amang to poek baktih toengah, Aw Angraeng, nang thawk tahang naah, nihcae poekhaih to tiah doeh sah pae hmah.
20Like one waking from a dream, so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.
21To tiah palung ka nat moe, ka poekhaih anghmang sut.
21When my heart was grieved and I was pierced within,
22Kai loe amthu kami, tidoeh panoek ai kami ah ka oh; na hmaa ah kasan moi baktiah ni ka oh sut boeh.
22I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before You.
23Toe kai loe nang khaeah ka oh poe; ka bantang ban hae nang patawnh pae.
23Yet I am always with You; You hold my right hand.
24Nangmah loe na thoemhaih hoiah loklam nang patuek ueloe, lensawkhaih thungah nang caeh haih tih.
24You guide me with Your counsel, and later receive me in glory.
25Nang ai ah loe van ah ka tawnh ih mi maw oh vop? Nang pacoengah loe long nuiah ka koeh ih mi doeh om ai.
25Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You.
26Ka ngan hoi ka palung loe amro boeh; toe Sithaw loe ka palungthin thacakhaih ah oh moe, dungzan ah kai ih taham ah ni oh.
26My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27Khenah, nang hoi angthla kaminawk loe amro o boih tih; nang khae hoi amkhraeng moe, oep om ai ah khosah kaminawk loe nam rosak boih tih.
27Those far from You will surely perish; You destroy all who are unfaithful to You.
28Toe kai loe Sithaw khaeah anghnaih han hoih; na toksakhaihnawk boih ka thuih hanah, Angraeng Sithaw khaeah ka buep.
28But as for me, it is good to draw near to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may proclaim all Your works.
