Psalms 102
1 A prayer from someone who is suffering and is tired out, pouring out their troubles to the Lord. Lord please hear my prayer, my cry for help!
Aw Bawipa, kak cykcahnaak awi ve ngai law lah; bawm aham kang kqang awi ve na ven pha seh.
2 Don't hide your face from me in my time of trouble! Turn and listen to me, and answer me quickly when I call.
Ka khuikha awh ve na haai koeh thuh. Kai benna nang haa keng law nawhtaw; ka nik khy awh ang tawnna nim hlat lah.
3 My life is disappearing like smoke; my body feels like it's on fire!
Ka hqing khui khawnghikhqi ve maikhu amyihna ding bang nawh; ka quhkhqi ve maialh amyihna alh hy.
4 I'm like grass that's dried up, withered away—I even forget to eat!
Kak kawlung ve koh aai nawh qam amyihna reu hy; buh ai aham awm hilh qu hawh nyng.
5 All my groaning has worn me out; my bones show through my skin.
Kang ko awh ka quh ingkaw ka vyn hqawng ni ak awm hqoeng hawh.
6 I'm like a desert owl, like a little owl among the ruins.
Qamkoh awhkaw bukbu amyihna ngawi hqoeng nyng saw, ak plawci anglakawhkaw bukbu amyihna awm hqoeng nyng.
7 I can't sleep. I'm like a lonely bird on a rooftop.
Ihmyh lonai na awm nyng saw; iptih khanna amah doeng ak ngawi hqoeng pha amyihna awm nyng.
8 My enemies taunt me all day long. They mock me and swear at me.
Khawnghi zung ka qaalkhqi ing nik kqawnset unawh, kai anik huhqytkhqi ing kang ming ve kqawn setnaak na hawna uhy.
9 Ashes are the food I eat; my tears drip into my drink,
Maivytkhqi ce buh na ai nyng saw ka awk hly kawi awm mikphli tuikhqi ing kqit uhy,
10 because of your anger and hostility, for you have picked me up and tossed me away.
nak kaw a so aih awh, ni lo hqoet nawh nik khawng hyk ti.
11 My life is fading away like a shadow that lengthens—I'm withering away like grass.
Ka hqingnaak khawnghikhqi ve khawmy benna kaw khawngkawn amyihna awm nawh; qam amyihna reu hy.
12 But you, Lord, reign forever, your fame will last for all generations.
Cehlai, Bawipa, nang taw kumqui dy boei ngawihdoelh awh ngawi hyk ti; nang ming awm cadil naa dyna cak hy.
13 You will take action and have pity on Jerusalem, for it's time to be kind to the city, the time has come.
Nang tho kawm tiksaw Zion ce qeen kawp ti, anih a venawh zeelnaak tym qoe hawh ni; a tym a taak ce pha law hawh hy.
14 For the people who follow you love its stones; they value even its dust!
Na ceityihkhqi ing anih a lung ce lungna unawh; a dekvai ing cekkhqi ce am thin tlawh sak hy.
15 Then the nations will be in awe of who you are, Lord; all the kings of the earth will be in awe of your glory.
Phynlumkhqi ing Bawipang ming kqih kawm usaw, khawmdek awhkaw sangpahrangkhqi boeih ing na boeimangnaak ce kqihchah kawm uh.
16 For the Lord will rebuild Jerusalem; he will appear in glory.
Ikawtih Bawipa ing Zion ce sa tlaih kawmsaw a boeimangnaak ing dang tlaih kaw.
17 He will pay attention to the prayers of the homeless; he will not disregard their requests.
Khawdeng ak voethlauhkhqi ak cykcahnaak ce hlat pe kaw; cekkhqi a qeen thoehnaak ce am huhsit pek khqi tikaw.
18 Let this be recorded for generations to come, so that people yet to be born may praise the Lord:
Ve ve ak law hly kawi cadil naakhqi ham qee na awm seh; saina ak awm hlankhqi ing Bawipa ce kyihcah na seh.
19 The Lord looked down from above, from the heights of his holy place; he looked down from heaven to the earth,
Bawipa ing a hun ciim sang soeih awhkawng nuk toek hy, khan nakawng khawmdek ve nuk toek hy,
20 to respond to the groans of prisoners, to set free the children of death.
thawng ak tlakhqi a ko kqangnaak awi ce ngai peek aham ingkaw thih aham ami palh sak thlangkhqi ce loet sak aham.”
21 As a result the wonderful nature of the Lord will be celebrated with praise in Jerusalem,
Bawipang ming ce Zion awh kqawn na awm kawmsaw am kyihnaak ce Jerusalem awh awm kaw,
22 when the people of many kingdoms gather together to worship the Lord.
thlangkhqi ingkaw qamkhqi ing Bawipa bawk aham cawn kawm uh.
23 But as for me, he broke my health while I was still young, cutting my life short.
Khaw ka sak pyngthym mai awh kak tha ni boek pe nawh; ka hqinglung ni tawi pe sak hy.
24 I cried out, “My God, don't take my life while I'm young! You are the one who lives forever.
Cedawngawh kai ing, Aw ka Khawsa, ka hqing huili awh koeh ni lo valh; nang a kumkhqi taw cadil naa dyna ak awm ni.
25 Long ago you created the earth; you made the heavens.
Ak cykca awh nang ing khawmdek pengnelhnaak sai tiksaw, khankhqi ce na kut ing sai na awm hy.
26 They will come to an end, but you will not. They will all wear out, like clothes—you will change them, and throw them away.
Ceekhqi taw qeng hlai voei uh, nang taw awm poe kawp ti; cekkhqi taw hi amyihna se kawm uh. Bainaak amyihna thaw kawm tiksaw lawha boeih kaw.
27 But you are the one who always is; your years never come to an end.
Cehlai nang taw amah toeng na awm poe kawp ti, nang a kumkhqi ingtaw a dytnaak awm am ti kaw.
28 Our children will live with you, and our children's children will grow in your presence.”
A tyihzawihkhqi a cakhqi ce na haiawh awm kawm usaw; a cadilkhqi awm na haiawh cak poe hawh kawm uh.”
