Psalms 38
1 A Psalm of David, in commemoration of the Sabbath. O Lord, do not rebuke me in your fury, nor chastise me in your wrath.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA lungphuen laihoi na yue hanh lah a. Puenghoi lungkhuek laihoi hai na yue hanh.
2 For your arrows have been driven into me, and your hand has been confirmed over me.
Na tahroe ni kai hah na thut dawkvah, na kut ni hoe na nam sin.
3 There is no health in my flesh before the face of your wrath. There is no peace for my bones before the face of my sins.
Na lungphuennae kecu dawk, ka takthai dawk damnae awm hoeh. Ka yonnae kecu dawk ka hru damnae awm hoeh.
4 For my iniquities have walked over my head, and they have been like a heavy burden weighing upon me.
Ka payonnae ni ka lû a ramuk dawkvah, ka phu thai hoeh e hno patetlah doeh ao.
5 My sores have putrefied and been corrupted before the face of my foolishness.
Ka pathunae kecu dawk, ka hmâ dukhnai teh, a hmui a tho toe.
6 I have become miserable, and I have been bent down, even to the end. I have walked with contrition all day long.
Patawnae khang hoi ka kâkalawng teh, kanîruirui lungmathoe hoi ka cingou.
7 For my loins have been filled with illusions, and there is no health in my flesh.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka laheibawnaw a kâan poung dawkvah, ka takthai dawk damnae roeroe awm hoeh.
8 I have been afflicted and greatly humbled. I bellowed from the groaning of my heart.
Ka tâwn poung teh ka lung a rek dawkvah, ka lung a kâraphei teh ka cingou.
9 O Lord, all my desire is before you, and my groaning before you has not been hidden.
BAWIPA, ka ngainae pueng teh na hmalah ao. Ka cingounae hai koung na panue.
10 My heart has been disturbed. My strength has abandoned me, and the light of my eyes has abandoned me, and it is not with me.
Ka lung a duem teh tha ka tawn hoeh toe. Ka mit angnae hai takuettakuet a mawm toe.
11 My friends and my neighbors have drawn near and stood against me. And those who were next to me stood far apart. And those who sought my soul used violence.
Ka patawnae dawk ka pahren e naw hoi huikonaw ni, na hnai ngai awh hoeh toe. Ka imthungnaw ni hai na roun awh toe.
12 And those who sought evil accusations against me were speaking emptiness. And they practiced deceitfulness all day long.
Ka hringnae la han kakâcainaw nihai, kai hanlah karap a patûng awh.
13 But, like someone deaf, I did not hear. And I was like someone mute, not opening his mouth.
Hatei, kai teh, hnâpang patetlah ka thai hoeh, lawka patetlah doeh ka o.
14 And I became like a man who does not hear, and who has no reproofs in his mouth.
Hottelah, ka thai hoeh e patetlah ka o teh, ka pato thai hoeh e patetlah ka o.
15 For in you, Lord, I have hoped. You will listen to me, O Lord my God.
Oe BAWIPA, nang dawk ngaihawinae ka tawn dawkvah, Oe BAWIPA, ka Cathut, na thai pouh haw.
16 For I said, “Lest at any time, my enemies might rejoice over me,” and, “While my feet are being shaken, they have spoken great things against me.”
Na thai pouh haw, hoehpawiteh, kai dawk a konawm awh vaiteh, ka khok a thawn toteh, kai taranlahoi kâoup awh payon vaih ka ti.
17 For I have been prepared for scourges, and my sorrow is ever before me.
Kai teh rawp hane coungkacoe ka o dawkvah, ka lungmathoenae teh pou ka pouk.
18 For I will announce my iniquity, and I will think about my sin.
Ka yonnae ni ka lung a puen sak dawkvah, peng ka pâpho ngala toe.
19 But my enemies live, and they have been stronger than me. And those who have wrongfully hated me have been multiplied.
Hatei, ka tarannaw teh, a tak a dam awh, a thao awh. A khuekhaw awm laipalah na kahmuhmanaw teh, apap awh.
20 Those who render evil for good have dragged me down, because I followed goodness.
Hawinae hah yonnae hoi kapathonaw hai, hawinae ka tarawi kecu ka taran lah ao awh.
21 Do not forsake me, O Lord my God. Do not depart from me.
Oe BAWIPA, na cettakhai hanh. Oe ka Cathut, na hlat takhai hanh.
22 Be attentive to my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation.
Oe rungngangnae BAWIPA, karanglah na kabawm haw.
