1 Pathen hlang Moses kah Thangthuinah Ka Boeipa nang tah, cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma duela, kaimih ham khuirhung la na om.
A Prayer by Moses, the Man of God. Lord! a dwelling-place, hast, thou, become to us, 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 born, Or thou hadst brought forth the earth and the world, Even, from age to age, thou, [wast] GOD.
3 hlanghing te hnipdik la na bal sak tih, “Adam ko rhoek mael uh laeh,” na ti nah.
Thou causest man to return unto dust, And hast said—Return, ye sons of Adam!
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 thine eyes, [are], As yesterday, in that it passed away, Or [as] a watch in the night.
5 Amih aka ip te na hnawt banlak tih, mincang kah aka poe sulrham bangla om uh.
Thou hast snatched them away, A sleep, do they become, In the morning, [they are] like grass that shooteth up,
6 Mincang ah khooi tih rhoeng dae, hlaem ah a baih tih rhae.
In the morning, it sprouteth and shooteth up, By the evening, it is cut down and withered.
7 Na thintoek loh n'khah uh coeng tih na kosi dongah ka let uh.
For we are consumed in thine anger, And, in thy wrath, are we dismayed;
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 thee, Our secret near the luminary of thy face.
9 Kaimih kah khohnin boeih he na thinpom hmuiah khumpael uh tih, caitawknah neh kum loh thok.
For, all our days, decline in thy wrath, —We end our years like 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 days of our years, have, in them, three score years and ten, And, if, by reason of strength, they have fourscore years, Yet, their boast, is labour and sorrow, For it hath passed quickly, and we have flown away.
11 Na thinpom khaw namah kah hinyahnah neh a tluk dongah, na thintoek sarhi te unim aka ming?
Who knoweth the strength of thine anger? Even, according to the fear of thee, is thy wrath!
12 Cueihnah thinko ka dang uh van tih, kaimih kah khohnin te ka tae uh ham khaw m'ming sak lah.
How to number our days, so grant us to know, That we may win us a heart that hath wisdom.
13 Aw BOEIPA me hil nim na mael vetih, na sal rhoek te na hloep ve.
Return, Yahweh, oh how long? And have compassion upon 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.
Satisfy us, in the morning, with thy lovingkindness, That we may shout aloud and be glad, Throughout all our days.
15 Yoethae ka puei uh kum kah kaimih nan phaep tue neh, a tluk la kaimih ko han hoe sak lah.
Make us glad, according to, The days thou hast humbled us, The years we have seen misfortune:
16 Na bisai te na sal rhoek taengah, na rhuepomnah khaw a ca rhoek taengah tueng saeh.
Let thy work, appear unto thy servants, And, thy majesty, upon 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 delightfulness of Adonay our God be upon us, —And, the work of our hands, establish thou upon us, Yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it.
