Saam 22
1 Ka Khawsa, ka Khawsa, kawtih nani ceh taak vik? Ikawtih a hul kaana ak hla na awm hoe nawh, kak khy awi awhkawng ak hla na na awm hy voei?
To the chief music-maker on Aijeleth-hash-shahar. A Psalm. Of David. My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my crying?
2 Aw Bawipa, dai awh khy nyng, cehlai am nim hlat tiksaw than awh awm am sit thai nyng.
O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest.
3 Cehlai nang taw thlak ciim na boei ngawihdoelh awh ngawi nawh; Isarelkhqi a zoeksang na awm hyk ti.
But you are holy, O you who are seated among the praises of Israel.
4 Ami pakhqi ing nang ce ni ypna unawh; a mingmih ing ami ypnaak a dawngawh nang ing cekkhqi ce hul hyk ti.
Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour.
5 Na venawh amik khy awh ce hul na awm uhy, nang ce ami ni ypnaak dawngawh amik kaw am boet hy.
They sent up their cry to you and were made free: they put their faith in you and were not put to shame.
6 Kai taw thlanghqing na am awm voel nyng, ceilaak nani ka awm hawh, thlang ak kqawnseet ingkaw thekhanaak na awm nyng.
But I am a worm and not a man; cursed by men, and looked down on by the people.
7 Kai amik hukhqi boeih ing ni qaih na uhy; a hui ni mele sih unawh, ami luu ni hyl sih uhy.
I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say,
8 Bawipa ypna saw; Bawipa ing hul thaw voei. Anih ing hul thaw voei, anih ak khanawh ak kaw a law soeih koenoek,” ti uhy.
He put his faith in the Lord; let the Lord be his saviour now: let the Lord be his saviour, because he had delight in him.
9 Cehlai nang ing zenbu ak khui awhkawng nik plawk nawh; ka nu suk ka awk hui awh awm namah ce ni ypna sak hawh hyk ti.
But it was you who took care of me from the day of my birth: you gave me faith even from my mother's breasts.
10 Ka thang cyk ca awhkawng namah awh peek na awm hawh nyng saw, ka nu puk khuiawh ka awm awhkawng nang taw ka Khawsa na awm hyk ti.
I was in your hands even before my birth; you are my God from the time when I was in my mother's body.
11 Ak hla na koeh ni awm taak hoe, kyinak ing ni zoe law nawh anik hulkung u awm am awm hy.
Be not far from me, for trouble is near; there is no one to give help.
12 Vaitaw am caikhqi ing nik chung unawh, Bashan a vaitaw am cai ak tha ak awm awmkhqi ing nik chung khoep uhy.
A great herd of oxen is round me: I am shut in by the strong oxen of Bashan.
13 A kawk doena a ai kawi qamsa ak phu pat pat samthyyn ing am kha ang khara nawh ning hawi sih hy.
I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food.
14 Tui amyihna hawk na awm nyng saw, ka quh cawngkhqi pet hoh hoh boeih hy. Kam thin ve khawi-ut amyihna paan nawh kak khuiawh a tui na tle boeih hy.
I am flowing away like water, and all my bones are out of place: my heart is like wax, it has become soft in my body.
15 Kak thaawmnaak awm am keek amyihna qum boeih nawh, kam lai awm kak dangkhyl na bet qap hawh hy; nang ing thihnaak dekvai awh ni tloeng hawh hyk ti.
My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips.
16 Uikhqi ing nik chung khoep unawh; thlakche tloek ing nik chung khoep uhy, ka kut qawi ingkaw ka khaw qawi ve ni hen pe uhy.
Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet.
17 Ka quhkhqi ve a cuna noet thai nyng, thlanghqing ing kawqep doena nim dai sih uhy.
I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me:
18 Ka sui ka bai ce qek qu unawh ka angki ce taicung zyk sih uhy.
They make a division of my robes among them, by the decision of chance they take my clothing.
19 Cehlai Bawipa ak hla na koeh ni awm taak; Aw kak thaawmnaak, kai hul aham ang tawnna law lah.
Do not be far from me, O Lord: O my strength, come quickly to my help.
20 Zawzi awhkawng ka hqingnaak ve hul nawh, uikhqi ak thaawmnaak awhkawng a phu ak tlo ka hqingnaak ve hul lah.
Make my soul safe from the sword, my life from the power of the dog.
21 Sendeihkhqi am khak khui awhkawng ni hul nawh; cungkhqi ak kii awhkawng ni hul lah.
Be my saviour from the lion's mouth; let me go free from the horns of the cruel oxen.
22 Ka koeinaakhqi venawh nang ming ce khypyi nyng saw; thlangkqeng anglakawh nang ce nim kyih vang.
I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers: I will give you praise among the people.
23 Nangmih Bawipa ak kqihkhqi, kyihcah lah uh! Nangmih Jacob a cadil boeih, amah ce zoeksang lah uh! Nangmih Isarel cadilkhqi boeih, amah ce kqihchah lah uh!
You who have fear of the Lord, give him praise; all you seed of Jacob, give him glory; go in fear of him, all you seed of Israel.
24 Khuikha nawh kyinaak ak hu thlang ce husit nawh am tyih hy; a haai awm am thuh pe nawh hul aham ak khynaak awi ce ngai pehy.
For he has not been unmoved by the pain of him who is troubled; or kept his face covered from him; but he has given an answer to his cry.
25 Thlangkqeng anglak cunnaak awh nang ka nim kyihnaak awi ve namah a ven awhkawng ni a law; kak awikamnaak ve nang anik kqihkhqi haiawh soep sak vang.
My praise will be of you in the great meeting: I will make my offerings before his worshippers.
26 Khawdengkhqi ing ai kawi hu unawh amik phoen phyi kaw; Bawipa ak suikhqi ing amah ce kyih u seitaw- nak kawlung ce kumqui dyna hqing seh.
The poor will have a feast of good things: those who make search for the Lord will give him praise: your heart will have life for ever.
27 Khawmdek a dytnaak boeih ing sim kawm usaw Bawipa venna hlat kawm uh, qam pum awhkaw cakaw paqeng boeih ing na haiawh koep kawm uh-
All the ends of the earth will keep it in mind and be turned to the Lord: all the families of the nations will give him worship.
28 Uknaak taw Bawipa koena a awm dawngawh pilnam thlang boeih ce amah ing uk hy.
For the kingdom is the Lord's; he is the ruler among the nations.
29 Khawmdek awhkaw boeikhqi boeih ing poei sai unawh bawk kawm uh; dekvai khuina ak cetkhqi boeih- amah poek awh a mak hqing thaikhqi ing a haiawh khawkhlu sym kawm uh.
All the fat ones of the earth will give him worship; all those who go down to the dust will make themselves low before him, even he who has not enough for the life of his soul.
30 Cadilkhqi ing bibi pe kawm usaw; hai ben awhkaw ak law hly cadilkhqi venawh Bawipa kawng ce kqawn pe kawm uh.
A seed will be his servant; the doings of the Lord will be made clear to the generation which comes after.
31 Cekkhqi ing ak thang hlan thlangkhqi venawh anih a dyngnaak ce kqawn pe kawm uh. Anih ing ce ce asai hawh a dawngawh.
They will come and make his righteousness clear to a people of the future because he has done this.
