Psalms 39
1 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked man is before me.
Kathutkung: Devit Lawk hoi boehai ka payon hoeh nahanelah, kai teh ka kâhruetcuet han. Tamikathoutnaw ka hmalah ao awh lahun nah, ka pahni ka moum han telah ka ti.
2 I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good, and my sorrow was stirred.
Lawk dei laipalah duem ka o. Hawinae boehai dei laipalah duem ka o teh, ka lung hoehoe a mathoe.
3 My heart was hot within me. While I was musing the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:
Ka lungthin teh ka thung vah a kâan. Luepluep ka pouk lahun nah, hmai a kak. Hat toteh, ka kâko hoi lawk ka dei.
4 Jehovah, make me to know my end, and the measure of my days, what it is. Let me know how frail I am.
BAWIPA ka thayounnae ka panue thai nahan, ka poutnae na panuek sak haw. Ka hringnae hnin hai na panuek sak haw.
5 Behold, thou have made my days as handbreadths, and my life-time is as nothing before thee. Surely every man at his best condition is altogether vanity. (Selah)
Bokheiyah, ka hringyung heh khap touh dueng na sak teh, ka kumnaw hai na hmalah, banghai bang hoeh lah doeh ao.
6 Surely every man walks in a shadow. Surely they are disquieted in vain. He heaps up, and knows not who shall gather them.
Tami pueng teh tâhlip patetlah doeh koung a loum awh. Banghai bang hoeh e doeh a pâlei awh. Hnopai thouk a pâkhueng awh teh, apie lah maw ao han vai tie panuek awh hoeh.
7 And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in thee.
Bawipa, atu ka panue e heh bang na maw. Nang teh ka ngaihawi e lah na o.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions. Make me not the reproach of the foolish.
Kâtapoenae pueng thung hoi na rasat haw, tamipathunaw ni panuikhai hanelah na awm sak hanh.
9 I was mute. I opened not my mouth, because thou did it.
Nang teh, kasakkung lah na o dawkvah, ka kâko ka ang laipalah duem ka o.
10 Remove thy stroke away from me. I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.
Na reknae heh na takhoe pouh leih, na kut hoi hemnae ni koung na raphoe toe.
11 When thou have corrected man with rebukes for iniquity, thou make his beauty to disintegrate like a moth. Surely every man is vanity. (Selah)
Taminaw e payonnae hah na yue teh, na rek pawiteh ahriai ni a ca e patetlah, taminaw e taluenae teh, na kahma sak. Atangcalah, tamipueng ahrawnghrang doeh.
12 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and give ear to my cry. Keep not silent at my tears, for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
Oe, BAWIPA, ka ratoumnae na thai pouh haw. Ka hramnae lawk koelah, na hnâpakeng haw. Ka mintoenaw patetlah imyin hoi kahlawng ka cet rumram e lah ka o.
13 O spare me, that I may recover strength before I go from here, and be no more.
Kaawm toung laipalah, ka khup hoehnahlan vah, ka ko bout a nawm nahanelah, na pasai haw.
