Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English 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 were almost gone. 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 was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4Nihcae loe duek naah patangkhang o ai; ngantui o moe, thacak o.
4For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.
5Nihcae loe minawk kalah baktiah raihaih panoek o ai; minawk baktiah patang o ai.
5They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.
6To pongah amoekhaih to bungmu baktiah a oih o; pacaekthlaekhaih to khukbuen baktiah angkhuk o.
6Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.
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.
7Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.
8Nihcae mah kahoih ai pacaekthlaekhaih to pahnuih o thuih; amoekhaih lok apaeh o.
8They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.
9Nihcae loe pakha hoiah vannawk to kasae thuih o moe, palai to long pum ah amkaeh o sak.
9They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.
10To pongah Sithaw mah angmah ih kaminawk to amlaemsak let moe, a paek ih tui to kamhah ah naek o.
10Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.
11Nihcae mah, Kawbangmaw Sithaw mah panoek tih? Kasang koek ah kaom loe panoekhaih tawnh maw? tiah thuih o.
11They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
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. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.
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 I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence,
14Ni thokkruek patang ka khang, akhawnbang kruek thuitaekhaih to ka tongh.
14For all day long I have been plagued, 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 thus”, behold, I would have betrayed the generation of 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 this, it was too painful for me—
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, and considered their latter 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 in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.
19Nihcae loe kawbangmaw, nawnetta thungah amro o halat! Hnukkhuem ah loe zitthok hmuen mah nihcae to paduek boih boeh.
19How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.
20Kami mah angthawk naah amang to poek baktih toengah, Aw Angraeng, nang thawk tahang naah, nihcae poekhaih to tiah doeh sah pae hmah.
20As a dream when one wakes up, so, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
21To tiah palung ka nat moe, ka poekhaih anghmang sut.
21For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.
22Kai loe amthu kami, tidoeh panoek ai kami ah ka oh; na hmaa ah kasan moi baktiah ni ka oh sut boeh.
22I was so 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.
23Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.
24Nangmah loe na thoemhaih hoiah loklam nang patuek ueloe, lensawkhaih thungah nang caeh haih tih.
24You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to 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 do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire 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 fails, 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.
27For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those 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 it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.
