Psalms 88
1 A Song, a Psalm of the sons of Korah; for the Leader; upon Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, God of my salvation, what time I cry in the night before Thee,
Aw Bawipa, kai anik hulkung Khawsa, khawmthan khawdai na haiawh khy nyng.
2 Let my prayer come before Thee, incline Thine ear unto my cry.
Kak cykcahnaak ve na haiawh pha seitaw; kak khynaak benna nang haa keng law lah.
Ka hqingnaak ve kyinaak ing be nawh ka hqingnaak ve hlan ing ni a ning zoe qu hawh hy. (Sheol h7585)
4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit; I am become as a man that hath no help;
Lawk-kqawng na a nuk cetkhqi ing nik dawh sih haih uhy; kai vemyih tha amak awm thlang ve.
5 Set apart among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom Thou rememberest no more; and they are cut off from Thy hand.
Thlak thikhqi anglakawh ni hoep unawh, thlang him unawh hlan awh ami soei amyihna, nang a khoemnaak ak khuiawh amak awm voel hawh thlangkhqi amyihna, nang ing anih ce am sim qoe voel hyk ti.
6 Thou hast laid me in the nethermost pit, in dark places, in the deeps.
Lawk-kqawng ak kai dyt ak hypnaak tit tit na ni ta hyk ti.
7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and all Thy waves Thou pressest down. (Selah)
Nak kawsonaak ce kak khan awh ak qih soeih na ta tiksaw; hlipui ing ce ni sing malh hyk ti.
8 Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them; I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
Ka pyikhqi awm ni lawh pe tiksaw cekkhqi am tyih kawi na ni sai hyk ti. Nik kqyp khak tiksaw ap cawn thai nyng;
9 Mine eye languisheth by reason of affliction; I have called upon Thee, O LORD, every day, I have spread forth my hands unto Thee.
Kak kaw a seet aih awh ka mik qawi awm hyp khoep hawh hy. Aw Bawipa, nang ce khawnghi zung nik khy nyng saw, nang a venawh ka kut qawi ve phyl nyng.
10 Wilt Thou work wonders for the dead? Or shall the shades arise and give Thee thanks? (Selah)
Thlak thi a venawh kawpoek kyi ik-oeih nak dang sak nu? Ak thikhqi ing tho unawh nang nim kyihcah unawh nu?
11 Shall Thy mercy be declared in the grave? or Thy faithfulness in destruction?
Phyi awh nang a lungnaak ce amik kqawn nu; seetnaak a hunawh nang a ypawmnaak ce amik kqawn nu?
12 Shall Thy wonders be known in the dark? and Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
Thannaak awh nang ak kawpoek kyi ik-oeih sai ce sim na ak awm nu, am awhtaw lunghilhnaak qam awh nang a dyngnaak ik-oieh ai ce a mik sim nu?
13 But as for me, unto Thee, O LORD, do I cry, and in the morning doth my prayer come to meet Thee.
Cehlai Aw Bawipa, qeennaak thoeh doena na venawh khy nyng, mymcang hqit awh kak cykcahnaak ing na hai pha law hy.
14 LORD, why castest Thou off my soul? Why hidest Thou Thy face from me?
Ikawtih Aw Bawipa, ni qoeng nawh, na haai na thuh hy voei?
15 I am afflicted and at the point of death from my youth up; I have borne Thy terrors, I am distracted.
Ka naasen ca awhkawng khuikha sim nyng saw thih pit dyna awm nyng; nak kqih awmnaak zawk nyng saw kawboet ing awm nyng.
16 Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off.
Nak kawsonaak ing ni sing khyng nawh; nak kqih awmnaak ing ni plawci sak hy.
17 They came round about me like water all the day; they compassed me about together.
Khawnghi zung tuinu amyihna nik chung khoep uhy; cekkhqi ing nik chawi malh uhy.
18 Friend and companion hast Thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
Ka pyikhqi ingkaw ka lungnaak thlangkhqi ce lo tiksaw; thannaak ve ni ak zoe khyt pyi na a awm hawh hy.
