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 a home to us one generation after another.
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 born, or the earth and the world were brought forth, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3 Tami teh rawkphainae koe na ban sak teh, tami canaw ban awh leih na ti.
You bring us back to the dust, you summon mortals to return.
4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na mithmu vah kum 1,000 touh heh kaloum tangcoung e paduem patetlah ao teh, tangmin buet touh patetlah ao.
For you see a thousand years as the passing of yesterday, 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.
Your floods sweep them away; they are like a dream, or like grass which sprouts in the morning,
6 Amom vah dikhring lah a nâw teh, tangmin lah tâtueng lah ao teh a kamyai awh.
which blossoms and sprouts in the morning, but by evening is cut and withered.
7 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na lungkhueknae lahoi rawkphainae koe pha awh toe. Na lungkhueknae lahoi na pakhi awh toe.
For your anger consumes us, the heat of your wrath confounds us.
8 Ka payonnae teh na hmalah thoseh, ka hro awh e yonnae teh, na minhmai angnae koe thoseh, pheng dan lah ao.
Our sins you have set before you, our secrets in the light of your face.
9 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahninnaw teh na lungkhueknae dawk a loum awh teh, ka kumnaw teh cingounae dawk ka baw sak awh.
For through your wrath our days are declining, we bring our years to an end as a sigh.
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 span of our life is seventy years, or, if we are strong, maybe eighty; yet is their breadth but empty toil, for swiftly they go, and we fly away.
11 Na lungkhuek thaonae heh apinimouh a panue. Na lungkhueknae heh taki han totouh apinimaw a taki.
Who lays to heart the power of your anger? Or who stands in reverent awe of your wrath?
12 Hottelah lungangnae lungthin tawn thai awh nahanelah, ahnintha pareinae na cangkhai haw.
O teach us to count our days so our minds may learn wisdom.
13 Oe BAWIPA, bout ban haw. Nâtotouh maw na o han. Na sannaw heh pahren haw.
Return, O Lord; why so long? Relent on your servants.
14 Ka hringyung thung ka lunghawi awh teh, kanawm thai awh nahanelah, na lungmanae hoi karanglah lung na kuep sak haw.
Grant us your love to the full in the morning, that all our days we may shout for joy.
15 Hno kathout hmonae kum pueng hoi, na rektapnae hninthapa pueng hah ka lunghawinae lah coung sak haw.
Make us glad for the days you have humbled us, for the evil years we have seen.
16 Na sak e hah na sannaw koe kamnue sak nateh, na bawilennae teh a canaw koe kamnuek naseh.
Let your servants see you in action, show your majesty to 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.
Let the grace of the Lord our God be upon us, uphold what our hands are striving to do.
