Psalms 39
1 Unto the end, for Idithun himself, a canticle of David. I said: I will take heed to my ways: that I sin not with my tongue. I have set guard to my mouth, when the sinner stood against 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 dumb, and was humbled, and kept silence from good things: and my sorrow was renewed.
Lawk dei laipalah duem ka o. Hawinae boehai dei laipalah duem ka o teh, ka lung hoehoe a mathoe.
3 My heart grew hot within me: and in my meditation a fire shall flame out.
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 I spoke with my tongue: O Lord, make me know my end. And what is the number of my days: that I may know what is wanting to me.
BAWIPA ka thayounnae ka panue thai nahan, ka poutnae na panuek sak haw. Ka hringnae hnin hai na panuek sak haw.
5 Behold thou hast made my days measurable: and my substance is as nothing before thee. And indeed all things are vanity: every man living.
Bokheiyah, ka hringyung heh khap touh dueng na sak teh, ka kumnaw hai na hmalah, banghai bang hoeh lah doeh ao.
6 Surely man passeth as an image: yea, and he is disquieted in vain. He storeth up: and he knoweth not for whom he shall gather these things.
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 what is my hope? is it not the Lord? and my substance is with thee.
Bawipa, atu ka panue e heh bang na maw. Nang teh ka ngaihawi e lah na o.
8 Deliver thou me from all my iniquities: thou hast made me a reproach to the fool.
Kâtapoenae pueng thung hoi na rasat haw, tamipathunaw ni panuikhai hanelah na awm sak hanh.
9 I was dumb, and I opened not my mouth, because thou hast done it.
Nang teh, kasakkung lah na o dawkvah, ka kâko ka ang laipalah duem ka o.
10 Remove thy scourges from me. The strength of thy hand hath made me faint in rebukes:
Na reknae heh na takhoe pouh leih, na kut hoi hemnae ni koung na raphoe toe.
11 Thou hast corrected man for iniquity. And thou hast made his soul to waste away like a spider: surely in vain is any man disquieted.
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 Lord, and my supplication: give ear to my tears. Be not silent: for I am a stranger with thee, and 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 forgive me, that I may be refreshed, before I go hence, and be no more.
Kaawm toung laipalah, ka khup hoehnahlan vah, ka ko bout a nawm nahanelah, na pasai haw.
