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 chief musician. A psalm of David. How long, Yahweh, will you keep forgetting about me? 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 worry and have grief in my heart all day? How long will my enemy triumph 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 and answer me, Yahweh my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death.

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

Do not let my enemy say, “I have defeated him,” so that my enemy may not say, “I have prevailed over my adversary”; otherwise, my enemies will rejoice when I am brought down.

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

But I have trusted in your covenant faithfulness; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

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

I will sing to Yahweh because he has treated me very generously.
