Psalms 10
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Why standest Thou afar off, O LORD? Why hidest Thou Thyself in times of trouble?
1Aw BOEIPA, balae tih mueirhih tue vaengah a hla la na thuh tih na pai?
2Through the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued, they are taken in the devices that they have imagined.
2Halang kah a hoemnahloh mangdaeng te a hlak dae tangkhuepnah neh a moeh rhoek long te amamih lat a tuuk.
3For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and the covetous vaunteth himself, though he contemn the LORD.
3Halang tah a hinglu kah hoehhamnah dongah yan uh tih, aka mueluem loh BOEIPA yah aka bai te a uem.
4The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, saith: 'He will not require'; all his thoughts are: 'There is no God.'
4Halang tah oeknah neh a thintoek a khueh. Pathen te toem pawt tih, a thuepnah boeih dongah om pawh.
5His ways prosper at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight; as for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.
5A longpuei a longpuei te a tue boeih ah kilkul. Na laitloeknah te anih hmai lamloh a sang pah. Anih aka daengdaeh boeih khaw amamih te lat a sat.
6He saith in his heart: 'I shall not be moved, I who to all generations shall not be in adversity.'
6A lungbuei ah, “Thawnpuei lamkah thawnpuei due ka tuen pawt vetih ka yoethae mahpawh,” a ti.
7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
7A ka dongah olthae olkha, hlangthai palat ya neh hnaephnapnah bae tih a lai dongah thakthaenah neh boethae ni aka om.
8He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; in secret places doth he slay the innocent; his eyes are on the watch for the helpless.
8Vong kaep kah rhong ah ngol tih, a huephael ah ommongsitoe a ngawn. A mik neh mangdaeng mangtok te a mae uh.
9He lieth in wait in a secret place as a lion in his lair, he lieth in wait to catch the poor; he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him up in his net.
9Mangdaeng te tuuk ham a huephael kah po khuiah sathueng bangla rhongngol. Mangdaeng te a tuuk vaengah amah kah lawk neh a sol.
10He croucheth, he boweth down, and the helpless fall into his mighty claws.
10Te dongah paep la paep tih a ngawm phoeiah tah tatthai khaw a pilnu hmuiah ni mangdaeng mangtok la a cungku.
11He hath said in his heart: 'God hath forgotten; He hideth His face; He will never see.'
11A lungbuei ah, “Pathen loh a hnilh coeng, a maelhmai a thuh tih yoeyah la hmu mahpawh,” a ti.
12Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up Thy hand; forget not the humble.
12Aw BOEIPA Pathen thoo lah, na kut thueng lah. Mangdaeng kodo te nang loh hnilh boeh.
13Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, and say in his heart: 'Thou wilt not require'?
13Balae tih halang loh Pathen yah a bai te amah lungbuei ah, “Nan cae tang mahpawh,” a ti?
14Thou hast seen; for Thou beholdest trouble and vexation, to requite them with Thy hand; unto Thee the helpless committeth himself; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.
14Tedae, na hmuh coeng dongah, thakthaenah neh konoinah, na kut dongah khueh ham na paelki. Namah tah cadah aka bom la na om dongah, na taengah mangdaeng mangtok khaw a hal.
15Break Thou the arm of the wicked; and as for the evil man, search out his wickedness, till none be found.
15Boethae halang kah a ban te khaem pah. A halangnah te cae pah lamtah hlun boeh.
16The LORD is King for ever and ever; the nations are perished out of His land.
16BOEIPA tah kumhal ah manghai yoeyah tih, a khohmuen kah namtom rhoek tah milh uh ni.
17LORD, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble: Thou wilt direct their heart, Thou wilt cause Thine ear to attend;
17Kodo rhoek kah ngaihlihnah te BOEIPA nang loh na hna neh na hnatung tih, na yaak dongah, a lungbuei na cikngae sak.
18To right the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may be terrible no more.
18Cadah neh hlanghnaep pahnap ham laitloek pah. Diklai lamkah hlanghing taengah, a sarhing ham te koep khoep boel saeh.
