Psalms 39
1 For the end, a Song of David, to Idithun. I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I set a guard on my mouth, while the sinner stood in my presence.
Ka cehnaak lam awh ce kang ngaih ta nawh kam lai awm thlawlhnaak awhkawng khoem vang; thlakchekhqi ka haiawh a awm khui awhtaw kam kha ve cyp vang,” ti nyng.
2 I was dumb, and humbled myself, and kept silence from good [words]; and my grief was renewed.
Cehlai awimyh na awm poek poek nawh, ik-oeih leek kqawn kaana ka awm awh zani, kak kawseetnaak ing pung hy.
3 My heart grew hot within me, and a fire would kindle in my (meditation) I spoke with my tongue,
Kak kawk khuiawh kak kawlung hlawk nawh, poek typ typ nyng saw, mai ce kqawng hy; cawhtaw kam lai ing awi ce kqawn nyng.
4 O Lord, make me to know mine end, and the number of my days, what it is; that I may know what I lack.
Aw Bawipa, ka hqing dytnaak ce nim huh nawhtaw khawnyn iqyt nu ka hqing kaw tice nim huh lah; ka hqingnaak ve choet ca mai ni ti ni sim sak lah.
5 Behold, you have made my days old; and my existence [is] as nothing before you: nay, every man living [is] altogether vanity. (Pause)
Ka hqing khui khawsaknaak ve kut pha teh doeng ni sai tiksaw; ka hqingnaak ve na haiawh ik choet awm am law hy. Thlang boeih a hqingnaak ve hqi doek khoeih mai ni.
6 Surely man walks in a shadow; nay, he is disquieted in vain: he lays up treasures, and knows not for whom he shall gather them.
Thlanghqing ve huhai na ak cet myihlip ing myih hy; amah poek awhtaw tamtaw soeih lawt hlai hy, a zap mai ni; them awm cun hlai hy, u ing a pang kaw tice am sim hy.
7 And now what [is] my expectation? [is it] not the Lord? and my ground [of hope] is with you. (Pause)
Cehlai tuh Bawipa, kai ing u nu ka sui? Kang ngaih-u-naak taw nang awh ni a awm.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: you have made me a reproach to the foolish.
Ka sai thawlhnaak ak khui awhkawng ni hul nawhtaw; thlakqawkhqi ak kqawnseet na koeh ni sai.
9 I was dumb, and opened not my mouth; for you are he that made me.
Awimyh na awm nyng saw; kam kha am awng nyng, kawtih, ve ve nang ing na sai hawh ni.
10 Remove your scourges from me: I have fainted by reason of the strength of your hand.
Na ni vyknaak ve ka ven awhkawng khoe hlah; na kut zawk hawh nyng.
11 You chasten man with rebukes for iniquity, and you make his life to consume away like a spider's web; nay, every man is disquieted in vain. (Pause)
A thawlhnaak awh thlangkhqi ce zyi nawh toel hyk ti; thlang boeih ve hqi doek khoeih mai ni.
12 O Lord, listen to my prayer and my supplication: attend to my tears: be not silent, for I am a sojourner in the land, and a stranger, as all my fathers [were].
Aw Bawipa, kak cykcahnaak ve ngai law lah, qeennaak thoeh doena kak khynaak awi ve ngai lah; kang kqangnaak ve nang haa koeh kqek sih lah. Ikawtih, na venawh khin amyihna awm nyng saw, ka pakhqi amyihna thlak chang na awm nyng.
13 Spare me, that I may be refreshed, before I depart, and be no more.
Cet nawh am ka awm voel naak tym apha hlan awh ka zeelnaak tlaih aham, ak chang na ning mang tak mai.
