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 in deep distress he poureth out his complaint before the Lord.” Hear my prayer, O LORD! 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 to me when I call! Answer me speedily!
3 Kai ih aninawk loe hmaikhue baktiah azawk o moe, ka huhnawk doeh hmai kamngaeh baktiah kangh.
For my life is consumed like smoke, And my bones burn like a brand.
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 forget to eat my bread.
5 Ka haam loiah ka huhnawk doeh ka ngan hin hoiah angbet caeng boeh.
By reason of my sighing, my bones cleave to my skin;
6 Kai loe praezaek ih bukbuh baktih; long karoem ahmuen ih tavaa baktiah ni ka oh sut boeh.
I am like the pelican of the wilderness; I am like an owl amid ruins.
7 Kai loe iip ai ah ka oh, angmabueng kaom imphu ih parit tavaa baktiah ni ka oh boeh.
I am sleepless; I am like a solitary bird upon the house-top.
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 long my enemies reproach me; They who rage against me curse by me.
9 Maiphunawk to buh baktiah ka caak; ka naek han koi doeh mikkhraetui hoiah angbaeh,
For I eat ashes like bread, And mingle my drink with tears.
10 dip thai ai ah palung na phui pongah, kai hae nang toengh tahang moe, long ah nang vah tathuk ving.
On account 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 life is like a declining shadow, And I wither like grass.
12 Toe Angraeng nang loe dungzan khoek to cak; na hmin panoekhaih doeh adungh kaminawk boih khoek to cak.
But thou, O LORD! endurest for ever, And thy name 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 arise and have pity upon Zion, For the time to favor her, yea, 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; Yea, they have a regard for 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.
Then shall the nations fear the name of Jehovah, And all the kings of the earth thy glory.
16 Angraeng mah Zion to pakhraih naah, anih loe a lensawkhaih hoiah angphong tih.
For Jehovah will 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, And not despise their supplication.
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, That the people to be born may praise Jehovah.
19 Angraeng loe kasang angmah ih hmuenciim hoiah khet tathuk moe, van hoiah long to a dan tathuk,
For he looketh down from his holy height, From heaven doth he cast his eye upon the earth,
20 thongkrah kaminawk hanghaih lok to tahngai pae, kadueh tom kaminawk to loisak hanah,
To listen to the sighs of the prisoner. To release those that are doomed to death;
21 Zion ah Angraeng ih ahmin to taphong moe, Jerusalem ah anih saphawhaih laa to sak pacoengah,
That they may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem,
22 Angraeng ih tok sak hanah, kaminawk hoi praenawk nawnto amkhueng o tih.
When the nations are assembled 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 hath weakened my strength on the way, He hath 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, O my God! take me not away in the midst of my days! Thy years endure 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.
Of old hast thou laid the foundations of 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 shalt endure; Yea, all of them shall wax old like 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 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 dwell securely, And their posterity shall be established before thee.
