Saam 90
1 Sithaw kami Mosi lawkthuihaih. Angraeng, nang loe adung boih ah kaicae ohhaih ahmuen ah na oh.
A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, you have been our refuge throughout all generations.
2 Maenawk loe om o ai vop, longlai hoi long na sah ai nathuem hoi boeh ni, nang loe dungzan hoi dugzan khoek to Sithaw ah na oh boeh.
Before the mountains were formed, or you formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
3 Kami to nam rosak; kami ih caanawk, amlaem o let ah, tiah na naa.
You return man to dust, and you say, “Return, you descendants of mankind.”
4 Saning sangto loe na hmaa ah tidoeh na ai ni, kalaem tangcae ni baktih, atue setta qum atue baktiah ni oh.
For a thousand years in your sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Nihcae to tui mah pazawk baktiah na lak ving; nihcae loe ka iip baktiah oh o moe, akhawnbang ah tacawt tahang phroh baktiah oh o.
You sweep them away as with a flood and they sleep; in the morning they are like the grass that sprouts up.
6 Phroh loe akhawnbang ah sai moe, qoeng tahang, duembang ah loe amro moe, azaem ving.
In the morning it blooms and grows up; in the evening it withers and dries up.
7 Kaicae loe palung na phuihaih hoiah kam ro o; palung na bet pongah tasoehhaih hoiah ka oh o.
Truly, we are consumed in your anger, and in your wrath we are terrified.
8 Kaicae sakpazaehaihnawk to na hmaa ah na suek moe, tamqumta hoiah ka sak o ih zaehaihnawk loe na hmaa ih aanghaih mah toeh phaeng.
You have set our iniquities before you, our hidden sins in the light of your presence.
9 Palung na phui pongah kaicae ih aninawk loe laemh boeh; saningnawk loe thuih ih ruici baktiah ni ka laemh o sak boeh.
Our life passes away under your wrath; our years quickly pass like a sigh.
10 Kaicae hinghaih saning loe qui sarihto sawk; thacak nahaeloe saning qui tazetto pha tih; khosak hoih li nathuem ah doeh patanghaih hoi palungsethaih khue ni oh; toe saningnawk loe akra ai ah laemh o, kaicae doeh kang hmat kang taa o.
Our years are seventy, or even eighty if we are healthy; but even our best years are marked by trouble and sorrow. Yes, they pass quickly, and we fly away.
11 Palung na phuihaih tha loe mi mah maw panoek tih? Nang loe zitthoh baktih toengah palung na phuihaih doeh zitthoh.
Who knows the intensity of your anger, and your wrath that is equal to the fear of you?
12 Palunghahaih ka patoh o thai hanah, ka hing o haih aninawk kroek thaihaih to na patuk ah.
So teach us to consider our life so that we might live wisely.
13 Aw Angraeng, amlaem let ah, nasetto maw akra vop tih? Na tamnanawk nuiah tahmenhaih to tawn ah.
Turn back, Yahweh! How long will it be? Have pity on your servants.
14 Na tahmenhaih rang hoiah akhawnbang ah zok amhahsak ah; to tiah nahaeloe ka hing o thung anghoehaih hoi oephaih hoiah ka om o tih.
Satisfy us in the morning with your covenant faithfulness so that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Kaicae patang nang khangsakhaih saning, kasae tonghaih saning paroeai pop boeh pongah, kaicae anghoehaih atue to na paek ah.
Make us glad in proportion to the days you afflicted us and to the years we have experienced trouble.
16 Na sak ih hmuen to na tamnanawk khaeah amtuengsak ah loe, na lensawkhaih to a caanawk khaeah amtuengsak ah.
Let your servants see your work, and let our children see your majesty.
17 Aicae Angraeng Sithaw tahmenhaih aicae nuiah om nasoe; kaimacae ban hoi ka sak o ih tok to na caksak ah; ue, kaimacae ban hoi ka sak o ih tok to na caksak ah.
May the favor of the Lord our God be ours; prosper the work of our hands; indeed, prosper the work of our hands.
