Saam 102
1 Patangkhang kami lawkthuihaih. A tha boeng sut naah Angraeng hmaa ah palungnat hoi lawkthuihaih. Aw Angraeng, lawk ka thuihaih hae tahngai ah; ka qahhaih lok loe nang khaeah pha nasoe.
A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah. Jehovah, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto thee.
2 Raihaih ka tong naah kai khae hoi mikhmai hawk ving hmah; na naa to kai khae bangah patueng ah; kang kawk naah, karangah na pathim ah.
Hide not thy face from me: in the day of my trouble, incline thine ear unto me; in the day I call, answer me speedily.
3 Kai ih aninawk loe hmaikhue baktiah azawk o moe, ka huhnawk doeh hmai kamngaeh baktiah kangh.
For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a firebrand.
4 Ka palungthin loe zaek moe, qam baktiah azaem; buhcaak hanah doeh ka pahnet sut boeh.
My heart is smitten and withered like grass; yea, I have forgotten to eat my bread.
5 Ka haam loiah ka huhnawk doeh ka ngan hin hoiah angbet caeng boeh.
By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones cleave to my flesh.
6 Kai loe praezaek ih bukbuh baktih; long karoem ahmuen ih tavaa baktiah ni ka oh sut boeh.
I am become like the pelican of the wilderness, I am as an owl in desolate places;
7 Kai loe iip ai ah ka oh, angmabueng kaom imphu ih parit tavaa baktiah ni ka oh boeh.
I watch, and am like a sparrow alone upon the housetop.
8 Ka misanawk mah ni thokkruek kasae ang thuih o; kai pahnui thuih kaminawk loe kai ih misa ah oh hanah lokthuih o.
Mine enemies reproach me all the day; they that are mad against me swear by me.
9 Maiphunawk to buh baktiah ka caak; ka naek han koi doeh mikkhraetui hoiah angbaeh,
For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
10 dip thai ai ah palung na phui pongah, kai hae nang toengh tahang moe, long ah nang vah tathuk ving.
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath; for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
11 Ka hinghaih aninawk loe kasawk tahlip baktiah oh moe, qam baktiah ka zaem.
My days are like a lengthened-out shadow, and I, I am withered like grass.
12 Toe Angraeng nang loe dungzan khoek to cak; na hmin panoekhaih doeh adungh kaminawk boih khoek to cak.
But thou, Jehovah, abidest for ever, and thy memorial from generation to generation.
13 Nang loe angthawk ueloe, Zion nuiah palungnathaih na tawn vop tih; anih tahmenhaih atue, atue khaehhaih atue angzoh boeh.
Thou wilt rise up, thou wilt have mercy upon Zion: for it is the time to be gracious to her, for the set time is come.
14 Na tamnanawk loe to ih thlungnawk to koeh o moe, maiphu doeh koeh o.
For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour her dust.
15 Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah Angraeng ih ahmin to zii o ueloe, long ih siangpahrangnawk boih mah a lensawkhaih to zii o tih.
And the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

When Jehovah shall build up Zion, he will appear in his glory.
17 Amtang kaminawk lawkthuihaih lok to anih mah pathim pae tih, nihcae lawkthuihaih to patoek pae mak ai.
He will regard the prayer of the destitute one, and not despise their prayer.
18 Hae kawng hae angzo han koi adung kaminawk hanah tarik tih; a sak ih kaminawk mah Angraeng to saphaw o tih.
This shall be written for the generation to come; and a people that shall be created shall praise Jah:
19 Angraeng loe kasang angmah ih hmuenciim hoiah khet tathuk moe, van hoiah long to a dan tathuk,
For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from the heavens hath Jehovah beheld the earth,
20 thongkrah kaminawk hanghaih lok to tahngai pae, kadueh tom kaminawk to loisak hanah,
To hear the groaning of the prisoner, to loose those that are appointed to die;
21 Zion ah Angraeng ih ahmin to taphong moe, Jerusalem ah anih saphawhaih laa to sak pacoengah,
That the name of Jehovah may be declared in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,
22 Angraeng ih tok sak hanah, kaminawk hoi praenawk nawnto amkhueng o tih.
When the peoples shall be gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.
23 Loklam ka caeh li naah anih mah tha ang zoksak; kai ih aninawk to ang duemsak.
He weakened my strength in the way, he shortened my days.
24 To pongah kai mah, Aw ka Sithaw, khosak hoih li naah ka hinghaih na la pae ving hmah; nang ih saningnawk loe angzo han koi adung kaminawk khoek to oh.
I said, My God, take me not away in the midst of my days! ...Thy years are from generation to generation.
25 Tangsuek nathuem hoi boeh ni long hae na sak; vannawk loe na ban hoiah sak ih hmuen ah ni oh o.
Of old hast thou founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands:
26 Nihcae loe anghma angtaa o tih, toe nang loe na om poe tih; ue, nihcae loe kahni baktiah prawn o boih tih; nihcae to kahni baktiah nam khraisak tih, to naah nihcae loe amkhraih o tih.
They shall perish, but thou continuest; and all of them shall grow old as a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed.
27 Toe nang loe nangmah toeng roengah ni om tih; na saningnawk loe boenghaih om mak ai.
But thou art the Same, and thy years shall have no end.
28 Na tamnanawk ih caanawk loe apet ai ah om o tih, nihcae ih atii loe na hmaa ah kacakah om o tih.
The children of thy servants shall abide, and their seed shall be established before thee.
