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?

For the leader. A psalm of David. How long, Lord, will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face 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 must I nurse grief inside me, and in my heart a daily sorrow? How long are my foes to exult 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.

Look at me, answer me, Lord my God. Fill my eyes with your light, lest I sleep in death,

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

lest my enemies claim to have triumphed, lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.

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

But I trust in your kindness: my heart will rejoice in your help.

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

I will sing to the Lord who was good to me.
