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, you have been a home to us one generation after another.
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 born, or the earth and the world were brought forth, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3 hlanghing te hnipdik la na bal sak tih, “Adam ko rhoek mael uh laeh,” na ti nah.
You bring us back to the dust, you summon mortals to return.
4 Kum thawngkhat khaw nang mikhmuh ah tah, hlaem hnin at aka khum neh khoyin kah, hlaempang pakhat bangla om.
For you see a thousand years as the passing of yesterday, as a watch in the night.
5 Amih aka ip te na hnawt banlak tih, mincang kah aka poe sulrham bangla om uh.
Your floods sweep them away; they are like a dream, or like grass which sprouts in the morning,
6 Mincang ah khooi tih rhoeng dae, hlaem ah a baih tih rhae.
which blossoms and sprouts in the morning, but by evening is cut and withered.
7 Na thintoek loh n'khah uh coeng tih na kosi dongah ka let uh.
For your anger consumes us, the heat of your wrath confounds us.
8 Kaimih kathaesainah he na hmaiah na khueh na khueh tih, na maelhmai kah vangnah khuiah kaimih he na thuh.
Our sins you have set before you, our secrets in the light of your face.
9 Kaimih kah khohnin boeih he na thinpom hmuiah khumpael uh tih, caitawknah neh kum loh thok.
For through your wrath our days are declining, we bring our years to an end as a sigh.
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 span of our life is seventy years, or, if we are strong, maybe eighty; yet is their breadth but empty toil, for swiftly they go, and we fly away.
11 Na thinpom khaw namah kah hinyahnah neh a tluk dongah, na thintoek sarhi te unim aka ming?
Who lays to heart the power of your anger? Or who stands in reverent awe of your wrath?
12 Cueihnah thinko ka dang uh van tih, kaimih kah khohnin te ka tae uh ham khaw m'ming sak lah.
O teach us to count our days so our minds may learn wisdom.
13 Aw BOEIPA me hil nim na mael vetih, na sal rhoek te na hloep ve.
Return, O Lord; why so long? Relent on your 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.
Grant us your love to the full in the morning, that all our days we may shout for joy.
15 Yoethae ka puei uh kum kah kaimih nan phaep tue neh, a tluk la kaimih ko han hoe sak lah.
Make us glad for the days you have humbled us, for the evil years we have seen.
16 Na bisai te na sal rhoek taengah, na rhuepomnah khaw a ca rhoek taengah tueng saeh.
Let your servants see you in action, show your majesty 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 grace of the Lord our God be upon us, uphold what our hands are striving to do.
