Sam 90
1 Kasakkung: Mosi BAWIPA nang teh se pueng dawk ka onae doeh.
A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, you have been our refuge in all generations.
2 Montamnaw na sak hoehnahlan, talai hoi talai hnonaw na sak hoehnahlan hoi, nang teh a yungyoe hoi a yungyoe e Cathut lah na o.
Before the mountains existed, and [before] the earth and the world were formed, even from age to age, You are.
3 Tami teh rawkphainae koe na ban sak teh, tami canaw ban awh leih na ti.
Turn not man back to [his] low place, whereas you said, Return, you sons of men?
4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na mithmu vah kum 1,000 touh heh kaloum tangcoung e paduem patetlah ao teh, tangmin buet touh patetlah ao.
For a thousand years in your sight are as the yesterday which is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Ahnimouh teh tuikalen patetlah na loum sak teh, vai touh muet ka ip e patetlah na o sak. Amom e phokahring ka nâw e patetlah doeh ao.
Years shall be vanity to them: let the morning pass away as grass.
6 Amom vah dikhring lah a nâw teh, tangmin lah tâtueng lah ao teh a kamyai awh.
In the morning let it flower, and pass away: in the evening let it droop, let it be withered and dried up.
7 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na lungkhueknae lahoi rawkphainae koe pha awh toe. Na lungkhueknae lahoi na pakhi awh toe.
For we have perished in your anger, and in your wrath we have been troubled.
8 Ka payonnae teh na hmalah thoseh, ka hro awh e yonnae teh, na minhmai angnae koe thoseh, pheng dan lah ao.
You have set our transgressions before you: our age is in the light of your countenance.
9 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahninnaw teh na lungkhueknae dawk a loum awh teh, ka kumnaw teh cingounae dawk ka baw sak awh.
For all our days are gone, and we have passed away in your wrath: our years have spun out their tale as a spider.
10 Hringyung teh kum 70 touh doeh. Thao dawkvah, kum 80 touh hai a pha thai. Hatei, kum sawnae teh, thatawnnae hoi lungmathoenae lah doeh ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tang a loum teh maimouh hai tang due awh.
[As for] the days of our years, in them are seventy years; and if [men should be] in strength, eighty years: and the greater part of them would be labour and trouble; for weakness overtakes us, and we shall be chastened.
11 Na lungkhuek thaonae heh apinimouh a panue. Na lungkhueknae heh taki han totouh apinimaw a taki.
Who knows the power of your wrath?
12 Hottelah lungangnae lungthin tawn thai awh nahanelah, ahnintha pareinae na cangkhai haw.
and [who knows how] to number [his days] because of the fear of your wrath? So manifest your right hand, and those that are instructed in wisdom in the heart.
13 Oe BAWIPA, bout ban haw. Nâtotouh maw na o han. Na sannaw heh pahren haw.
Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated concerning your servants.
14 Ka hringyung thung ka lunghawi awh teh, kanawm thai awh nahanelah, na lungmanae hoi karanglah lung na kuep sak haw.
We have been satisfied in the morning with your mercy; and we did exult and rejoice:
15 Hno kathout hmonae kum pueng hoi, na rektapnae hninthapa pueng hah ka lunghawinae lah coung sak haw.
let us rejoice in all our days, in return for the days wherein you did afflict us, the years wherein we saw evil.
16 Na sak e hah na sannaw koe kamnue sak nateh, na bawilennae teh a canaw koe kamnuek naseh.
And look upon your servants, and upon your works; and guide their children.
17 BAWIPA Cathut na lunghawinae teh, kai koe awm naseh. Ka kut ni a tawk e naw teh, maimouh hanlah cak seh. Ka kut ni a tawk e naw teh, caksak lah awm lawiseh.
And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and do you direct for us the works of our hands.
