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 song of a Psalm for the sons of Core for the end, upon Maeleth for responsive [strains], of instruction for Aeman the Israelite. O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried by day and in the night before you.
2 Ka thangthuinah loh namah mikhmuh la ha pawk saeh. Ka tamlung he na hna kaeng thil lah.
Let my prayer come in before you; incline your ear to my supplication, O Lord.
For my soul is filled with troubles, and my life has drawn near to Hades. (Sheol h7585)
4 Tangrhom la aka suntla rhoek neh n'moeh tih a dawn aka sai mueh hlang bangla ka om.
I have been reckoned with them that go down to the pit; I became as a man without help;
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.
free among the dead, as the slain ones cast out, who sleep in the tomb; whom you remember no more; and they are rejected from your hand.
6 Kai he a laedil kah tangrhom ah, khohmuep ah, a cok ah nan khueh.
They laid me in the lowest 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 wrath has pressed heavily upon me, and you have brought upon me all your billows. (Pause)
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 removed my acquaintance far from me; they have made me an abomination to themselves; I have been delivered up, and have not gone forth.
9 Phacipphabaem khui lamkah nang kang khue ham khaw ka mik kha coeng. BOEIPA namah taengah hnin takuem ka kut ka phuel.
Mine eyes are dimmed from poverty; but I cried to you, O Lord, all the day; I spread forth 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 work wonders for the dead? or shall physicians raise [them] up, that they shall praise you?
11 Nang kah sitlohnah te phuel khuiah, na uepomnah te Abaddon ah a thui aya?
Shall any one declare your mercy in the tomb? and your truth in destruction?
12 Nang kah khobaerhambae te khohmuep khuiah, namah kah duengnah te lunghnilh kho ah a ming uh aya?
Shall your wonders be known in darkness? and your righteousness in a forgotten land?
13 Tedae kai loh BOEIPA nang taengah ka pang tih mincang kah ka thangthuinah loh namah n'doe.
But I cried to you, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent you.
14 BOEIPA aw ba dongah nim ka hinglu he na hlahpham tih kai taeng lamkah na maelhmai na thuh mai?
Therefore, O Lord, do you reject my prayer, [and] 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 in troubles from my youth; and having been exalted, I was brought low and into despair.
16 Na thinsa loh kai soah n'khuk tih namah kah hihhamnah loh kai m'biit uh coeng.
Your wrath has passed over me; and your terrors have greatly disquieted me.
17 Tui bangla kai n'hil uh tih, khohnin yung ah kai malh m'vael.
They compassed me like water; all the day they beset me together.
18 Ka lungnah ka paya khaw kai taeng lamkah nan lakhla sak tih khohmuep ni ka hmaiben coeng.
You have put far from me [every] friend, and mine acquaintances because of [my] wretchedness.
