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 end, a Psalm of David. How long, O Lord, will you forget me? for ever? how long will you turn away 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 shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted 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 on me, listen to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, 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 at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.

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

But I have hoped in your mercy; my heart shall exult in your salvation.

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

I will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.
