Psalms 88
1 A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, the God of my salvation, day and night I cry out before You.
Aw Bawipa, kai anik hulkung Khawsa, khawmthan khawdai na haiawh khy nyng.
2 May my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry.
Kak cykcahnaak ve na haiawh pha seitaw; kak khynaak benna nang haa keng law lah.
Ka hqingnaak ve kyinaak ing be nawh ka hqingnaak ve hlan ing ni a ning zoe qu hawh hy. (Sheol h7585)
4 I am counted among those descending to the Pit. I am like a man without strength.
Lawk-kqawng na a nuk cetkhqi ing nik dawh sih haih uhy; kai vemyih tha amak awm thlang ve.
5 I am forsaken among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more, who are cut off from Your care.
Thlak thikhqi anglakawh ni hoep unawh, thlang him unawh hlan awh ami soei amyihna, nang a khoemnaak ak khuiawh amak awm voel hawh thlangkhqi amyihna, nang ing anih ce am sim qoe voel hyk ti.
6 You have laid me in the lowest Pit, in the darkest of the depths.
Lawk-kqawng ak kai dyt ak hypnaak tit tit na ni ta hyk ti.
7 Your wrath weighs heavily upon me; all Your waves have submerged me.
Nak kawsonaak ce kak khan awh ak qih soeih na ta tiksaw; hlipui ing ce ni sing malh hyk ti.
8 You have removed my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them; I am confined and cannot escape.
Ka pyikhqi awm ni lawh pe tiksaw cekkhqi am tyih kawi na ni sai hyk ti. Nik kqyp khak tiksaw ap cawn thai nyng;
9 My eyes grow dim with grief. I call to You daily, O LORD; I spread out my hands to You.
Kak kaw a seet aih awh ka mik qawi awm hyp khoep hawh hy. Aw Bawipa, nang ce khawnghi zung nik khy nyng saw, nang a venawh ka kut qawi ve phyl nyng.
10 Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You?
Thlak thi a venawh kawpoek kyi ik-oeih nak dang sak nu? Ak thikhqi ing tho unawh nang nim kyihcah unawh nu?
11 Can Your loving devotion be proclaimed in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon?
Phyi awh nang a lungnaak ce amik kqawn nu; seetnaak a hunawh nang a ypawmnaak ce amik kqawn nu?
12 Will Your wonders be known in the darkness, or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?
Thannaak awh nang ak kawpoek kyi ik-oeih sai ce sim na ak awm nu, am awhtaw lunghilhnaak qam awh nang a dyngnaak ik-oieh ai ce a mik sim nu?
13 But to You, O LORD, I cry for help; in the morning my prayer comes before You.
Cehlai Aw Bawipa, qeennaak thoeh doena na venawh khy nyng, mymcang hqit awh kak cykcahnaak ing na hai pha law hy.
14 Why, O LORD, do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?
Ikawtih Aw Bawipa, ni qoeng nawh, na haai na thuh hy voei?
15 From my youth I was afflicted and near death. I have borne Your terrors; I am in despair.
Ka naasen ca awhkawng khuikha sim nyng saw thih pit dyna awm nyng; nak kqih awmnaak zawk nyng saw kawboet ing awm nyng.
16 Your wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.
Nak kawsonaak ing ni sing khyng nawh; nak kqih awmnaak ing ni plawci sak hy.
17 All day long they engulf me like water; they enclose me on every side.
Khawnghi zung tuinu amyihna nik chung khoep uhy; cekkhqi ing nik chawi malh uhy.
18 You have removed my beloved and my friend; darkness is my closest companion.
Ka pyikhqi ingkaw ka lungnaak thlangkhqi ce lo tiksaw; thannaak ve ni ak zoe khyt pyi na a awm hawh hy.
