Psalms 39
1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a muzzle, while the wicked is before me.
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, Zeduthun hoi sak han koi David ih Saam laa. Palai hoi zaehaih ka sak han ai ah, ka caehhaih loklam ah ka coe han: kahoih ai kaminawk ka hmaa ah oh o nathung, pakha hae ka tamuep han, tiah ka thuih.
2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
Lokpae ai ah ka oh duem, to tiah ka oh pongah hoikhanghaih om ai; palungsethaih to pung aep.
3 My heart burned within me; the fire was kindled in my musing: I spoke with my tongue,
Ka palung loe bet, ka poek naah nung aep ah bet: to naah,
4 Make me to know, Jehovah, mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: I shall know how frail I am.
Aw Angraeng, kai loe amro thaikoi hmuen ah ni ka oh, nasetto maw ka hing han vop, tiah na panoeksak ah, tiah ka thuih.
5 Behold, thou hast made my days [as] hand-breadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before thee; verily, every man, [even] the high placed, is altogether vanity. (Selah)
Khenah, ka hinghaih aninawk loe ban tamsum setto khue ni na sak; ka hinghaih loe na hmaa ah tiah doeh om ai: tangtang ni, kami loe kasang koek ahmuen ah pha cadoeh azom pui ni. (Selah)
6 Verily, man walketh in a vain show; verily they are disquieted in vain; he heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who shall gather them.
Tangtang ni, kami loe tidoeh avang ai tahlip thungah ni amkaeh: tangtang ni, kaminawk loe azom pui ah ni patang o: anih loe hmuenmae to patung, toe mi mah maw toep tih, tiah panoek ai.
7 And now, what wait I for, Lord? my hope is in thee.
Vaihi timaw ka zing han vop? Angraeng, ka oephaih loe nang ni.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the reproach of the foolish.
Ka sakpazae ih hmuennawk thung hoiah na pahlong ah: amthu kaminawk mah kasaethuih hanah na sah hmah.
9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; for thou hast done [it].
Hae tiah nang ohsak boeh pongah, lok ka pae ai, pakha doeh ka aang ai.
10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.
Dan nang paekhaih to kai khae hoiah na takhoe pae ah: ban hoi nang boh pongah ka thazok sut boeh.
11 When thou with rebukes dost correct a man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely, every man is vanity. (Selah)
Zaehaih pongah kami to na thuitaek, dan na paek naah karaa mah caak ih baktih toengah, nihcae hoihaih to nam rosak: kaminawk loe azom pui ah ni oh o boih. (Selah)
12 Hear my prayer, Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; be not silent at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, like all my fathers.
Aw Angraeng, lawk ka thuihaih hae na thai paeh loe, ka hanghaih lok hae na tahngai paeh; ka mikkhraetui krakhaih hae na khen pae sut hmah: kai loe kam panawk baktiah kholong ka caeh moe, angvin baktiah ni ka oh.
13 Look away from me, and let me recover strength, before I go hence and be no more.
Hae ahmuen hoi ka duek moe, ka caeh ai naah, tha ka oh let hanah, na tahmen rae ah.
