Saam 88
1 Korah ih caanawk hanah saam laa. Katoeng kruek zaehoikung, Mahalath ah sak koi Heman Ezrahite ih Maskil. Ka pahlonghaih Angraeng Sithaw, nang khaeah aqum athun kang hangh.
O lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you:
2 Lawk ka thuihaih nang khaeah pha nasoe; ka hanghaih lok na tahngai pae ah.
Let my prayer come before you: incline your ear to my cry;
For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draws near to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
4 Kai loe tangqom thungah caeh kaminawk hoi nawnto ang kroek o hmaek boeh; tha tawn ai kami baktiah ni ka oh sut boeh.
I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that has no strength:
5 Kadueh kaminawk salakah vah sut ih kami, kami hum moe, taprong ah pasong o ih baktiah, na ban thung hoiah na takhoe ving moe, anih to na panoek ai boeh.
Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom you remember no more: and they are cut off from your hand.
6 Kathuk koek tangqom, kaving moe, kathuk parai tangqom thungah nang pasong.
You have laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
7 Palung na phuihaih mah kai ang taeh; kai hae na tuiphunawk boih hoiah nang pacaekthlaek. (Selah)
Your wrath lies hard on me, and you have afflicted me with all your waves. (Selah)
8 Kam puinawk to nang lak pae ving; kai hae nihcae mah panuet hanah nang sak; kai nang paung caeng pongah, tasa bangah ka tacawt thai ai boeh.
You have put away my acquaintance far from me; you have made me an abomination to them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
9 Raihaih mah ka mik amrosak boeh; Angraeng, ni thokkruek nang kang kawk; nang khaeah ka ban kang payangh.
My eye mourns by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily on you, I have stretched out my hands to you.
10 Kadueh kaminawk hanah dawnrai hmuen na sak pae han maw? Kadueh kaminawk angthawk o ueloe, nang to saphaw o tih maw? (Selah)
Will you show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise you? (Selah)
11 Nam lunghaih to taprong thungah thui o tih maw, to tih ai boeh loe na oepthohhaih to amrohaih thungah thui o tih maw?
Shall your loving kindness be declared in the grave? or your faithfulness in destruction?
12 Na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to khoving thungah panoek o tih maw? Na toenghaih doeh pahnet thaih prae ah panoek o tih maw?
Shall your wonders be known in the dark? and your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 Toe Aw Angraeng, kai loe nang khaeah ka qah; akhawn bangah lawkthuihaih loe na hmaa ah phak boeh.
But to you have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent you.
14 Angraeng, tipongah ka pakhra nang vah pae ving loe? Tipongah mikhmai nang hawk taak ving loe?
LORD, why cast you off my soul? why hide you your face from me?
15 Kai loe nawkta nathuem hoi patang ka khang boeh moe, ka duek duih boeh; raihaih nang tongsak pongah kang pho sut boeh.
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer your terrors I am distracted.
16 Palung na phuihaih mah kai ang kraeng khoep boeh; nang tongsak ih raihaih mah ang paro boeh.
Your fierce wrath goes over me; your terrors have cut me off.
17 To hmuennawk loe tuibaktiah ka taengah ni thokkruek angzoh o; kai hae nawnto ang takui o.
They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
18 Palung ih kami hoi ampuinawk to kai khae hoi kangthla ah nang suek pae, kam puinawk loe vinghaih thungah oh o.
Lover and friend have you put far from me, and my acquaintance into darkness.
