1 Pathen hlang Moses kah Thangthuinah Ka Boeipa nang tah, cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma duela, kaimih ham khuirhung la na om.
“BOOK IV. A prayer of Moses, the man of God.” LORD! thou hast been our dwelling-place In all generations!
2 Tlang rhoek a om uh hlan tih diklai neh lunglai a poe hlanah, Pathen namah te kumhal lamkah kumhal duela na om coeng.
Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting thou art God!
3 hlanghing te hnipdik la na bal sak tih, “Adam ko rhoek mael uh laeh,” na ti nah.
But man thou turnest again to dust, And sayst, “Return, ye children of men!”
4 Kum thawngkhat khaw nang mikhmuh ah tah, hlaem hnin at aka khum neh khoyin kah, hlaempang pakhat bangla om.
For a thousand years are, in thy sight, As yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.
5 Amih aka ip te na hnawt banlak tih, mincang kah aka poe sulrham bangla om uh.
Thou carriest him away as with a flood; He is a dream; In the morning he springeth up like grass,
6 Mincang ah khooi tih rhoeng dae, hlaem ah a baih tih rhae.
Which flourisheth and shooteth up in the morning, And in the evening is cut down, and withered.
7 Na thintoek loh n'khah uh coeng tih na kosi dongah ka let uh.
For we are consumed by thine anger, And by thy wrath are we destroyed.
8 Kaimih kathaesainah he na hmaiah na khueh na khueh tih, na maelhmai kah vangnah khuiah kaimih he na thuh.
Thou settest our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 Kaimih kah khohnin boeih he na thinpom hmuiah khumpael uh tih, caitawknah neh kum loh thok.
By reason of thine anger all our days vanish away; We spend our years like a thought.
10 Kaimih kah kum neh khohnin he kum sawmrhih neh thayung thamal koinih kum sawmrhet khaw lo. Tedae te khuikah omthennah khaw thakthaenah neh boethae la pahoi aka khum dongah phang ka ding uh.
The days of our life are threescore years and ten, And, by reason of strength, may be fourscore years: Yet is the pride of them weariness and sorrow; For it vanisheth swiftly, and we fly away.
11 Na thinpom khaw namah kah hinyahnah neh a tluk dongah, na thintoek sarhi te unim aka ming?
Yet who attendeth to the power of thine anger? Who with due reverence regardeth thine indignation?
12 Cueihnah thinko ka dang uh van tih, kaimih kah khohnin te ka tae uh ham khaw m'ming sak lah.
Teach us so to number our days, That we may apply our hearts to wisdom!
13 Aw BOEIPA me hil nim na mael vetih, na sal rhoek te na hloep ve.
Desist, O LORD! How long—? Have compassion upon thy servants!
14 Na sitlohnah te mincang takuem kaimih nan kum sak dongah, kamamih kah a tue khohnin boeih ham khaw, kohoe la ka tamhoe uh van ni.
Satisfy us speedily with thy mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
15 Yoethae ka puei uh kum kah kaimih nan phaep tue neh, a tluk la kaimih ko han hoe sak lah.
Make us glad according to the time in which thou hast afflicted us; According to the years in which we have seen adversity!
16 Na bisai te na sal rhoek taengah, na rhuepomnah khaw a ca rhoek taengah tueng saeh.
Let thy deeds be known to thy servants, And thy glory to their children!
17 Te dongah mamih Pathen, ka Boeipa kah mueithen he mamih soah om saeh. Mamih kut dongkah kah bibi khaw mamih ham sikim saeh. Mamih kut dongkah bibi te amah ham sikim pai saeh.
Let the favor of the LORD our God be upon us, And establish for us the work of our hands; Yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it!
