Tingtoeng 22
1 [Mincang ah sayuk rhuinu taengah aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung] Ka Pathen, ka Pathen, ba ham lae kai nan hnoo sut tih kai kah khangnah, ka kawknah ol neh nan lakhla tak?
My God, my God, why have you abandoned/deserted me? Why do you stay so far from me, and why do you not hear/help me [RHQ]? Why do you not hear me when I am groaning?
2 Aw ka Pathen khothaih ah ka pang dae nan doo pawt tih khoyin ah khaw ka duemnah om pawh.
My God, every day I call to you during the daytime and during the night, but you do not answer me, so I am not able to sleep.

But you are holy. You sit on your throne as king, and [we the people of] Israel praise you [PRS].

Our ancestors trusted in you. [Because] they trusted in you, you rescued them.

When they cried out to you, you saved them. They trusted in you, and (they were not disappointed/you [saved them] as you said that you would).

But [you have not rescued me] [People despise me and consider that I am not a man]; [they think that] I am [as worthless as] a worm! Everyone [HYP] scorns me and despises me.
7 Kai aka hmu boeih loh, kai taengah a hmui te a saibaeh uh phoeiah lu a hinghuen uh tih,
Everyone who sees me [HYP] makes fun of me. They sneer at me and [insult me by] shaking their heads [at me as though I were an evil man]. They say,
8 “BOEIPA dongah a hmae dongah BOEIPA amah dongah hangdang saeh anih te hlawt saeh lamtah huul saeh,” tila n'tamdaeng uh.
“He trusts in Yahweh, so Yahweh should save him! [He says that] Yahweh is very pleased with him; if that is so, Yahweh should rescue him!”
9 Tedae namah loh bung khui lamkah kai nan poh tih, a nu kah rhangsuk dongah kai nan pangtung sak.
[Why do] you [not] protect me [now as you did] when I was born? I was safe even when I was (nursing/drinking milk from my mother’s breasts).
10 Bung khui lamkah ka om paek vaengah nang dongah ka voei uh. A nu bung khui lamkah mah nang he kai kah Pathen ni.
[It was as though] you adopted me right when I was born. You have (been my God/taken care of me) ever since I was born.

So, (do not stay far from/stay close to) [LIT] me now because [enemies who will cause me much] trouble are near me, and there is no one [else] who can help me.

[They are like] roaring lions that are attacking the animals that they want to kill [MET] [and eat]; they rush toward me [to kill] me; they [are like lions that] have their mouths open, [ready to tear their victims to pieces] [MET].
