Sam 90
1 Kasakkung: Mosi BAWIPA nang teh se pueng dawk ka onae doeh.
A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.
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 were made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God.
3 Tami teh rawkphainae koe na ban sak teh, tami canaw ban awh leih na ti.
Turn not man away to be brought low: and thou hast said: Be converted, O ye 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 thy sight are as 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.
Things that are counted nothing, shall their years be.
6 Amom vah dikhring lah a nâw teh, tangmin lah tâtueng lah ao teh a kamyai awh.
In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither.
7 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na lungkhueknae lahoi rawkphainae koe pha awh toe. Na lungkhueknae lahoi na pakhi awh toe.
For in thy wrath we have fainted away: and are troubled in thy indignation.
8 Ka payonnae teh na hmalah thoseh, ka hro awh e yonnae teh, na minhmai angnae koe thoseh, pheng dan lah ao.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thy eyes: our life in the light of thy 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 spent; and in thy wrath we have fainted away. Our years shall be considered 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.
The days of our years in them are threescore and ten years. But if in the strong they be fourscore years: and what is more of them is labour and sorrow. For mildness is come upon us: and we shall be corrected.
11 Na lungkhuek thaonae heh apinimouh a panue. Na lungkhueknae heh taki han totouh apinimaw a taki.
Who knoweth the power of thy anger, and for thy fear
12 Hottelah lungangnae lungthin tawn thai awh nahanelah, ahnintha pareinae na cangkhai haw.
Can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom.
13 Oe BAWIPA, bout ban haw. Nâtotouh maw na o han. Na sannaw heh pahren haw.
Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of thy servants.
14 Ka hringyung thung ka lunghawi awh teh, kanawm thai awh nahanelah, na lungmanae hoi karanglah lung na kuep sak haw.
We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days.
15 Hno kathout hmonae kum pueng hoi, na rektapnae hninthapa pueng hah ka lunghawinae lah coung sak haw.
We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: for the years in which we have seen evils.
16 Na sak e hah na sannaw koe kamnue sak nateh, na bawilennae teh a canaw koe kamnuek naseh.
Look upon thy servants and upon their works: and direct 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 direct thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do thou direct.
