He hides near the villages,
    so that he can jump out and catch people.
He watches in secret to find a weak person that he can kill.
    He murders people who have done nothing wrong.
Quietly, he hides like a lion among some bushes.
    He waits there to catch a poor, weak person.
Like a hunter, he catches poor people in his net.

    and he knocks them down to the ground.
The weak person falls down,
    because the wicked person is too strong.
