Tingtoeng 90
1 Pathen hlang Moses kah Thangthuinah Ka Boeipa nang tah, cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma duela, kaimih ham khuirhung la na om.
A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.
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 made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God.
3 hlanghing te hnipdik la na bal sak tih, “Adam ko rhoek mael uh laeh,” na ti nah.
Turn not man away to be brought low: and thou hast said: Be converted, O ye sons 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 in thy sight are as yesterday, which 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.
Things that are counted nothing, shall their years be.
6 Mincang ah khooi tih rhoeng dae, hlaem ah a baih tih rhae.
In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither.
7 Na thintoek loh n'khah uh coeng tih na kosi dongah ka let uh.
For in thy wrath we have fainted away: and are troubled in thy indignation.
8 Kaimih kathaesainah he na hmaiah na khueh na khueh tih, na maelhmai kah vangnah khuiah kaimih he na thuh.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thy eyes: our life in the light of thy countenance.
9 Kaimih kah khohnin boeih he na thinpom hmuiah khumpael uh tih, caitawknah neh kum loh thok.
For all our days are spent; and in thy wrath we have fainted away. Our years shall be considered as a spider:
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 years in them are threescore and ten years. But if in the strong they be fourscore years: and what is more of them is labour and sorrow. For mildness is come upon us: and we shall be corrected.
11 Na thinpom khaw namah kah hinyahnah neh a tluk dongah, na thintoek sarhi te unim aka ming?
Who knoweth the power of thy anger, and for thy fear
12 Cueihnah thinko ka dang uh van tih, kaimih kah khohnin te ka tae uh ham khaw m'ming sak lah.
Can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom.
13 Aw BOEIPA me hil nim na mael vetih, na sal rhoek te na hloep ve.
Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of 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.
We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days.
15 Yoethae ka puei uh kum kah kaimih nan phaep tue neh, a tluk la kaimih ko han hoe sak lah.
We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: for the years in which we have seen evils.
16 Na bisai te na sal rhoek taengah, na rhuepomnah khaw a ca rhoek taengah tueng saeh.
Look upon thy servants and upon their works: and direct 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.
And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and direct thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do thou direct.
