Tingtoeng 13

1 [Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung] Aw BOEIPA, mevaeng hil nim kai nan hnilh yoeyah ve? Mevaeng hil nim na maelhmai te kai taeng lamkah na thuh ve?

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. Will you for ever put me out of your memory, O Lord? will your face for ever be turned away from me?

2 Mevaeng hil nim ka thinko kah hnin takuem kothae la ka hinglu he cilsuep ka dul hawl ve? Mevaeng hil nim kai sokah ka thunkha loh caemthang a rhuk ve?

How long is my soul to be in doubt, with sorrow in my heart all the day? how long will he who is against me be given power over me?

3 Aw ka BOEIPA Pathen paelki lamtah kai he n'doo dae. Ka mik mah han tueng sak dueknah khuila ka ip ve.

Let my voice come before you, and give me an answer, O Lord my God; let your light be shining on me, so that the sleep of death may not overtake me;

4 Ka thunkha loh, “Anih ka na coeng,” a ti vetih ka bung vaengah ka rhal rhoek te omngaih uh ve.

And he who is against me may not say, I have overcome him; and those who are troubling me may not be glad when I am moved.

5 Tedae kai tah na sitlohnah dongah ka pangtung tih namah kah khangnah dongah ka lungbuei omngaih.

But I have had faith in your mercy; my heart will be glad in your salvation.

6 BOEIPA te kai ham a then dongah ka hlai ni.

I will make a song to the Lord, because he has given me my reward.
