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 FEEBLE, AND POURS OUT HIS COMPLAINT BEFORE YHWH. O YHWH, hear my prayer, indeed, my cry comes to You.
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.
Do not hide Your face from me, In a day of my adversity, Incline Your ear to me, In the day I call, hurry, answer me.
3 Kai ih aninawk loe hmaikhue baktiah azawk o moe, ka huhnawk doeh hmai kamngaeh baktiah kangh.
For my days have been consumed in smoke, And my bones have burned as a firebrand.
4 Ka palungthin loe zaek moe, qam baktiah azaem; buhcaak hanah doeh ka pahnet sut boeh.
Struck as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten to eat my bread.
5 Ka haam loiah ka huhnawk doeh ka ngan hin hoiah angbet caeng boeh.
From the voice of my sighing My bone has cleaved to my flesh.
6 Kai loe praezaek ih bukbuh baktih; long karoem ahmuen ih tavaa baktiah ni ka oh sut boeh.
I have been like to a pelican of the wilderness, I have been as an owl of the dry places.
7 Kai loe iip ai ah ka oh, angmabueng kaom imphu ih parit tavaa baktiah ni ka oh boeh.
I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the roof.
8 Ka misanawk mah ni thokkruek kasae ang thuih o; kai pahnui thuih kaminawk loe kai ih misa ah oh hanah lokthuih o.
All the day my enemies reproached me, Those mad at me have sworn against me.
9 Maiphunawk to buh baktiah ka caak; ka naek han koi doeh mikkhraetui hoiah angbaeh,
Because I have eaten ashes as bread, And have 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.
From Your indignation and Your wrath, For You have lifted me up, And cast me down.
11 Ka hinghaih aninawk loe kasawk tahlip baktiah oh moe, qam baktiah ka zaem.
My days [are] stretched out as a shadow, And I am withered as the herb.
12 Toe Angraeng nang loe dungzan khoek to cak; na hmin panoekhaih doeh adungh kaminawk boih khoek to cak.
And You, O YHWH, abide for all time, And Your 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.
You rise—You pity Zion, For the time to favor her, For the appointed time has come.
14 Na tamnanawk loe to ih thlungnawk to koeh o moe, maiphu doeh koeh o.
For Your servants have been pleased with her stones, And they favor 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 nations fear the Name of YHWH, And all kings of the earth Your glory,
16 Angraeng mah Zion to pakhraih naah, anih loe a lensawkhaih hoiah angphong tih.
For YHWH has built Zion, He has been seen in His glory,
17 Amtang kaminawk lawkthuihaih lok to anih mah pathim pae tih, nihcae lawkthuihaih to patoek pae mak ai.
He turned to the prayer of the destitute, And He has not despised 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 is written for a later generation, And the people created praise YAH.
19 Angraeng loe kasang angmah ih hmuenciim hoiah khet tathuk moe, van hoiah long to a dan tathuk,
For He has looked From the high place of His sanctuary. YHWH looked attentively from the heavens to earth,
20 thongkrah kaminawk hanghaih lok to tahngai pae, kadueh tom kaminawk to loisak hanah,
To hear the groan of the prisoner, To loose sons of death,
21 Zion ah Angraeng ih ahmin to taphong moe, Jerusalem ah anih saphawhaih laa to sak pacoengah,
To declare in Zion the Name of YHWH, And His praise in Jerusalem,
22 Angraeng ih tok sak hanah, kaminawk hoi praenawk nawnto amkhueng o tih.
In the peoples being gathered together, And the kingdoms—to serve YHWH.
23 Loklam ka caeh li naah anih mah tha ang zoksak; kai ih aninawk to ang duemsak.
He has humbled my power in the way, He has 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 say, “My God, do not take me up in the midst of my days,” Your years [are] through all generations.
25 Tangsuek nathuem hoi boeh ni long hae na sak; vannawk loe na ban hoiah sak ih hmuen ah ni oh o.
You founded the earth before time, And the heavens [are] the work of Your 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 perish, and You remain, And all of them become old as a garment, You change them as clothing, And they are changed.
27 Toe nang loe nangmah toeng roengah ni om tih; na saningnawk loe boenghaih om mak ai.
And You [are] the same, and Your years are not finished.
28 Na tamnanawk ih caanawk loe apet ai ah om o tih, nihcae ih atii loe na hmaa ah kacakah om o tih.
The sons of Your servants continue, And their seed is established before You!
