La Bu 88
1 O Yahweh Pakai, eihuhhing'a ka Pathen Elohim, sunleh nangma kakou in, jan leh nakom kahin nailut ji e.
A Song, a Psalm for the sons of Korah. To the chief Musician. Upon Mahalath Leannoth. An instruction. Of Heman the Ezrahite. Jehovah, God of my salvation, I have cried by day [and] in the night before thee.
2 Tun kakouna neijah peh'in lang katona neisan peh'in.
Let my prayer come before thee; incline thine ear unto my cry.
For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draweth nigh to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
4 Athisa bang bep kahitai, mithahat tah khat athahat na bei nungsang bep kahitai.
I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no strength:
5 Amahon mithi lah'a eidalha uvin lhan ah mithi lup'in kalum e. Keima hi suhmil in kaum tai, nami kaihoina a kon in eiki lamang tai.
Prostrate among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave; whom thou rememberest no more, and who are cut off from thy hand.
6 Nang in kotong noinung pen athim pen ah neison lha e.
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in dark places, in the deeps.
7 Nalung han na gihtah chun eidelphan, hichu twi kinong bangin akinong'in eichup tai.
Thy fury lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted [me] with all thy waves. (Selah)
8 Keima hi doumah in neisem in kagol kapai ho neidelmang peh gamtai. Keima hi thang'ah ka-oh in kitoldoh theilouvin kaum e.
Thou hast put my familiar friends far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
9 Kamit lhin kamit achupmin kho muthei louvin kaum e. O Yahweh Pakai niseh'in na panpina kathum in nami lungsetna ngaichan kakhut teni kahin sange.
Mine eye consumeth by reason of affliction. Upon thee, Jehovah, have I called every day; I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
10 Nathil kidang bol hohi mithi dinga phachom ding hinam? Mithi hungthodoh a nathangvah theiding hinam?
Wilt thou do wonders to the dead? shall the shades arise and praise thee? (Selah)
11 Lhankhuh a kon in amahon nami ngailutna longlou hi ahin phongdoh theina diuvem? Suhmangna mun'a umhon nakitah nahi aphongdoh theina diuvem?
Shall thy loving-kindness be declared in the grave? thy faithfulness in Destruction?
12 Muthim'in nathilbol kidang hohi aseiphong nadiuvem? Thil suhmil delna gama umhon na chonphat na hochu aseiphong theina diuvem?
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 O Yahweh Pakai nangma kakouve, niseh-a nakom a katao jingding ahi.
But as for me, Jehovah, I cry unto thee, and in the morning my prayer cometh before thee.
14 O Yahweh Pakai, ibolla kei nei paidoh hitam? Ibol a kei a kon a naki heimang hitam?
Why, O Jehovah, castest thou off my soul? [why] hidest thou thy face from me?
15 Kakhang don lai a pat a, kanatna hin thina komcha eina lhutsa ahitan, nagim neina masanga hin thabei leh lungkham tah'in kading e.
I am afflicted and expiring from my youth up; I suffer thy terrors, [and] I am distracted.
16 Nalunghan na tijat umtah chun eilonvuh'in, tijat naumna chun eithabei sah e.
Thy fierce anger hath gone over me; thy terrors have brought me to nought:
17 Hiche hochun sun nilhum in twisoh bangin kavel a eilon khum un ahi. Muthimhi kakinai pipen kagol in apang un ahi.
They have surrounded me all the day like water; they have compassed me about together.
18 Nang man ka mite le ka ngailut cheng neilahpeh tai, Thimjing hi kaki naipi pen ka loi chu ahi tai.
Lover and associate hast thou put far from me: my familiar friends are darkness.
