Psalms 38
1 A Psalm of David, to make memorial. O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger; neither chasten me in Thy wrath.
David tahmen hnikhaih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, palungphuihaih hoiah na zoeh hmah loe, palungbethaih hoiah doeh na thuitaek hmah.
2 For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come down upon me.
Nang kah ih palaanawk loe ka tak thungah akun, na ban hoiah nang boh.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine indignation; neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
Palung na phui pongah, ka takpum ngantuihaih om ai; ka zaehaih pongah ka huhnawk ngantuihaih om ai boeh.
4 For mine iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
Ka sakpazaehaih mah ka lu hae zaeng khoep, kai han kazit parai hmuen ah oh, ka phaw thai ai.
5 My wounds are noisome, they fester, because of my foolishness.
Kam thuhaih pongah kai ih ahmaanawk loe hmuiset moe, qongh.
6 I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day.
Raihaih ka tong boeh; kanung parai ah ka krak tathuk moe, qahhaih hoiah athun qui ka vah.
7 For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.
Ka kaeng loe panuet thok nathaih hoiah koi, ka takpum roe ah ngantuihaih om ai boeh.
8 I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning of my heart.
Tha ka zai sut boeh moe, ka pan dui boeh: tasoehhaih palungthin to ka tawnh pong ah, ka hangh.
9 Lord, all my desire is before Thee; and my sighing is not hid from Thee.
Aw Angraeng, ka koeh ih hmuennawk loe na hmaa ah amtueng boih, ka hanghaih lok doeh na hmaa hoiah hawk thai ai boeh.
10 My heart fluttereth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
Ka palung loe tasoeh moe, tha doeh ka tawn ai: ka mik doeh amtueng ai boeh.
11 My friends and my companions stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
Ka nathaih pongah ka palung ih kaminawk hoi kam puinawk mah doeh kai ang yae o taak, ka imtaeng kaminawk mah doeh kangthla ah ang oh o taak boeh.
12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak crafty devices, and utter deceits all the day.
Ka hinghaih paduek han pakrong kaminawk loe kai hanah thaang patung o: nganbawh kana paek hanah kai pakrong kaminawk loe, athun qui amrohaih hoi alinghaih lok to thuih o.
13 But I am as a deaf man, I hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
Toe kai loe naapang baktiah ka oh moe, pakhaa ang thai ai lokaa baktiah ka oh.
14 Yea, I am become as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no arguments.
Lok thaikop ai, lokthuih palaem let thai ai kami baktiah ni ka oh.
15 For in Thee, O LORD, do I hope; Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
Aw Angraeng, nang ni kang oep: Aw Angraeng ka Sithaw, nang mah loe nang pathim tih.
16 For I said: 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.'
Nihcae mah kai anghoe o thuih ueloe, kam thaek naah nihcae mah kai han amoek o thui tih, to pongah na pathim raeh, tiah ka thuih.
17 For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.
Palungsethaih boeng thai ai boeh pongah, kam timh tom boeh.
18 For I do declare mine iniquity; I am full of care because of my sin.
Ka sakpazaehaih to taphong moe, ka zaehaih pongah dawnpakhuem han boeh.
19 But mine enemies are strong in health; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
Ka misanawk loe ngantui o moe, thacak o parai: tidoeh na ai ah kai hnuma kaminawk loe paroeai pop o.
20 They also that repay evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
Kahoih hmuen to ka patom pongah, hoihaih to sethaih hoiah pathok kaminawk loe kai ih misa ah oh o.
21 Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me.
Aw Angraeng, na prawt sut hmah: Aw ka Sithaw, kangthla ah na om taak hmah.
22 Make haste to help me, O LORD, my salvation.
Aw Angraeng kai pahlonghaih, kai abomh hanah karangah angzo rae ah.
