1The righteous perishes, and no man lays it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil.
1mi diktat a mang jel ua, kuamahin a lungsim un a ngaihtuah kei nak uh, Pathian limsakmite leng lak mangin a om jel ua, mi diktat thil hoihlou hongtung ding akipan lak mang ahi nak uh chih kuamahin a ngaihtuah sam kei uhi.
2He enters into peace; they rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
2Lungmuannaah a lut jel ua; a lupna uahte a lum tawldam jel uh, diktaka pai peuhmahte.
3“But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the prostitute.
3Ahihhangin nou bumsiamnu tapa, angkawm leh kijuak suante aw, hiaiah honnaih un.
4Against whom do you sport yourselves? Against whom do you make a wide mouth, and stick out your tongue? Aren’t you children of disobedience, a seed of falsehood,
4Nuihza bawlna dia na zat jel uh kua eita? kua na maiphen khum ua, na leikhat khum ua? Tatlekna ta, juautheihna suante na hi kei u maw?
5you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
5Nou tosaw laka, singbuk nuai tenga milimte toh kithoha suangpi kawllak nuaia guam sung khawnga naupang that jelte.
6Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion; they, they are your lot; you have even poured a drink offering to them. You have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?
6Lui guam suang mam lakah na tantuan a oma; huaite, huaite ngei ngei na tantuan ahi: huaite adingin dawn thillat na sunga, thil piak na lan hi. Huai thilah hihlungkimin ka om ding hia?
7On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed; there also you went up to offer sacrifice.
7Tang sang zou mahmah tungah na lupna na koiha: huailai mahmah kithoihna lam dingin na hohtou jel.
8Behind the doors and the posts you have set up your memorial: for you have uncovered to someone besides me, and have gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and made you a covenant with them: you loved their bed where you saw it.
8Huan, kongkhakte leh kong biang liahte ah na theihgigena na tunga: kei din hi louin midang din na kisuaha, na hoh tou ngala; na lupna na keka, a kiang uah thu na khunga; a lupna uh lah na muhnaah na it hi.
9You went to the king with oil, and increased your perfumes, and sent your ambassadors far off, and debased yourself even to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .
9Huan, sathau toh kumpipa kiangah na hoha, na gimlimte lah na bawl thupi diakdiaka, na palaite gamlapiah na sawla, sheol pha hialin na niamsak hi.
10You were wearied with the length of your way; yet you didn’t say, ‘It is in vain.’ You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you weren’t faint.
10Na paina lampi sau jiakin na gima; ahihhangin, Lametna himhim a om kei, na chi ngal keia: na hatna halhsakna na mu-a: huaijiakin na bahta kei hi.
11“Of whom have you been afraid and in fear, that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Haven’t I held my peace even of long time, and you don’t fear me?
11Kua na kihtain na lau, juau na gen naka, kei non theih tak louha, na lungsima na ngaihtuah tak louh mai? Sawtpi ka dai dide kei maw? Kihtak leng non kihtak louh.
12I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they shall not profit you.
12Na diktatna leh na thilhihte ka gen ding; bangmah lah na lohtak kei dia.
13When you cry, let those who you have gathered deliver you; but the wind shall take them, a breath shall carry them all away: but he who takes refuge in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.”
13Na kikou chiangin na lak khawmten honhumbit uheh; ahihhangin huihin amau a la dinga, huin a mut vek ding: kei honmuangin bel gam a nei dinga, ka tang siangthou a luah ding.
14He will say, “Cast up, cast up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”
14Huan, aman, Sung vum un, sung vum un, lampi bawl un, ka mite lampi bawl un, ka mite lampi akipan pukna ding pai un, a chi ding.
15For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
15Mi tungnung, tawisang, khantawna om, a min Siangthouin hichiin a chi ngala: Kei mun tungnung leh siangthou-ah ka oma, mi thunuailutte lungsim hihhalh ding leh kisik tuntunte lungtang hihhalh dingin mi lungsima kisik tuntuna thunuailut tak kiangah leng ka om hi.
16For I will not contend forever, neither will I be always angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls who I have made.
16Khantawnin ka dou sin ngal keia, ka heh gige sin sam kei hi: huchikeileh mi lungsim ka maah a bah dinga, hinna ka bawlte leng a bah ding uh.
17For the iniquity of his covetousness was I angry, and struck him; I hid myself and was angry; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
17A huaihama a thulimlouhna jiakin ka heha, ka sata, ka mai ka huma, ka heh ahi: amah lah a lungtang omdan ngeingeiin paupeng takin a om jel hi.
18I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
18A omdante ka mu-a, amah ka damsak ding: ka pi dinga, amah leh a sunpihmite kiangah lungmuanna ka pe nawn ding.
19I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near,” says Yahweh; “and I will heal them.”
19Ken muk gah ka bawl; Lemna, lemna, gamla pi-a om kiangah leh nai chika om kiangah om hen, Toupan a chi, amah ka damsak ding.
20But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can’t rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
20Mi thulimloute bel tuipi kihawt gige bang ahi uh; a om kinken thei ngel keia, a tuiten lah nin leh buannawi a vik khe jel, chiin.Ka Pathianin, Mi thulimloute adingin muanna himhim a om kei, a chi.
21“There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
21Ka Pathianin, Mi thulimloute adingin muanna himhim a om kei, a chi.
