Psalms 39
1 To the excellent musician Ieduthun. I thought, I will take heede to my wayes, that I sinne not with my tongue: I will keepe my mouth brideled, while the wicked is in my sight.
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 dumme and spake nothing: I kept silece euen from good, and my sorow was more stirred.
Lawk dei laipalah duem ka o. Hawinae boehai dei laipalah duem ka o teh, ka lung hoehoe a mathoe.
3 Mine heart was hote within me, and while I was musing, the fire kindeled, and I spake with my tongue, saying,
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 Lord, let me know mine ende, and the measure of my dayes, what it is: let mee knowe howe long I haue to liue.
BAWIPA ka thayounnae ka panue thai nahan, ka poutnae na panuek sak haw. Ka hringnae hnin hai na panuek sak haw.
5 Beholde, thou hast made my dayes as an hand breadth, and mine age as nothing in respect of thee: surely euery man in his best state is altogether vanitie. (Selah)
Bokheiyah, ka hringyung heh khap touh dueng na sak teh, ka kumnaw hai na hmalah, banghai bang hoeh lah doeh ao.
6 Doubtlesse man walketh in a shadowe, and disquieteth himselfe in vaine: he heapeth vp riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them.
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 Lord, what wait I for? mine hope is euen in thee.
Bawipa, atu ka panue e heh bang na maw. Nang teh ka ngaihawi e lah na o.
8 Deliuer me from all my transgressions, and make me not a rebuke vnto the foolish.
Kâtapoenae pueng thung hoi na rasat haw, tamipathunaw ni panuikhai hanelah na awm sak hanh.
9 I should haue bene dumme, and not haue opened my mouth, because thou didest it.
Nang teh, kasakkung lah na o dawkvah, ka kâko ka ang laipalah duem ka o.
10 Take thy plague away from mee: for I am consumed by the stroke of thine hand.
Na reknae heh na takhoe pouh leih, na kut hoi hemnae ni koung na raphoe toe.
11 When thou with rebukes doest chastise man for iniquitie, thou as a mothe makest his beautie to consume: surely euery man is vanitie. (Selah)
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 Heare my prayer, O Lord, and hearken vnto my cry: keepe not silence at my teares, for I am a strager with thee, and a soiourner as all my fathers.
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 Stay thine anger from me, that I may recouer my strength, before I go hence and be not.
Kaawm toung laipalah, ka khup hoehnahlan vah, ka ko bout a nawm nahanelah, na pasai haw.
