Tingtoeng 88
1 Ezrakhi hoel Heman kah hlohlai aka doo Mahalath aka mawt ham Korah koca rhoek kah Tingtoeng laa Kai kah khangnah Pathen BOEIPA, namah hmaiah khoyin khothaih ka pang.
A Canticle Psalm to the sons of Korah. Unto the end. For Mahalath, to answer the understanding of Heman the Ezrahite. O Lord, God of my salvation: I have cried out, day and night, in your presence.
2 Ka thangthuinah loh namah mikhmuh la ha pawk saeh. Ka tamlung he na hna kaeng thil lah.
Let my prayer enter in your sight. Incline your ear to my petition.
For my soul has been filled with evils, and my life has drawn near to Hell. (Sheol h7585)
4 Tangrhom la aka suntla rhoek neh n'moeh tih a dawn aka sai mueh hlang bangla ka om.
I am considered to be among those who will descend into the pit. I have become like a man without assistance,
5 Aka duek rhoek taengah a rhoe tih phuel kah aka yalh rhok te na ngaidam voel kolla na kut dong lamkah na tuiphih banghui lamni ka om coeng.
idle among the dead. I am like the wounded sleeping in sepulchers, whom you no longer remember, and who have been repelled by your hand.
6 Kai he a laedil kah tangrhom ah, khohmuep ah, a cok ah nan khueh.
They have lain me in the lower pit: in dark places and in the shadow of death.
7 Na kosi te kai soah na tloeng tih na tuiphu tom neh nan phaep.
Your fury has been confirmed over me. And you have brought all your waves upon me.
8 Kamah kah hmaiben nawn khaw kai taeng lamkah nan lakhla sak. Amih kah tueilaehkoi la kai nan khueh dongah n'nan uh tih ka coe thai pawh. (Selah)
You have sent my acquaintances far from me. They have set me as an abomination to themselves. I was handed over, yet I did not depart.
9 Phacipphabaem khui lamkah nang kang khue ham khaw ka mik kha coeng. BOEIPA namah taengah hnin takuem ka kut ka phuel.
My eyes languished before destitution. All day long, I cried out to you, O Lord. I stretched out my hands to you.
10 Aka duek rhoek ham khobaerhambae na saii pah atah sairhai a aka thoo vetih namah n'uem eh? (Selah)
Will you perform wonders for the dead? Or will physicians raise to life, and so confess to you?
11 Nang kah sitlohnah te phuel khuiah, na uepomnah te Abaddon ah a thui aya?
Could anyone declare your mercy in the sepulcher, or your truth from within perdition?
12 Nang kah khobaerhambae te khohmuep khuiah, namah kah duengnah te lunghnilh kho ah a ming uh aya?
Will your wonders be known in the darkness, or your justice in the land of oblivion?
13 Tedae kai loh BOEIPA nang taengah ka pang tih mincang kah ka thangthuinah loh namah n'doe.
And I have cried out to you, O Lord, and in early morning, my prayer will come before you.
14 BOEIPA aw ba dongah nim ka hinglu he na hlahpham tih kai taeng lamkah na maelhmai na thuh mai?
Lord, why do you reject my prayer? Why do you turn your face away from me?
15 Kai mangdaeng he ka camoe lamkah ka pal coeng. Nang taengkah mueirhih ka phueih tih ka ngaidaeng.
I am poor, and I have been amid hardships from my youth. And, though I have been exalted, I am humbled and disturbed.
16 Na thinsa loh kai soah n'khuk tih namah kah hihhamnah loh kai m'biit uh coeng.
Your wrath has crossed into me, and your terrors have disturbed me.
17 Tui bangla kai n'hil uh tih, khohnin yung ah kai malh m'vael.
They have surrounded me like water, all day long. They have surrounded me, all at once.
18 Ka lungnah ka paya khaw kai taeng lamkah nan lakhla sak tih khohmuep ni ka hmaiben coeng.
Friend and neighbor, and my acquaintances, you have sent far away from me, away from misery.
