Psalms 88
1 A song of a Psalm for the sons of Core for the end, upon Maeleth for responsive [strains], of instruction for Aeman the Israelite. O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried by day and in the night before you.
Korah ih caanawk hanah saam laa. Katoeng kruek zaehoikung, Mahalath ah sak koi Heman Ezrahite ih Maskil. Ka pahlonghaih Angraeng Sithaw, nang khaeah aqum athun kang hangh.
2 Let my prayer come in before you; incline your ear to my supplication, O Lord.
Lawk ka thuihaih nang khaeah pha nasoe; ka hanghaih lok na tahngai pae ah.
Ka hinghaih mah raihaih tong boeh moe, ka hinghaih taprong taengah phak boeh. (Sheol h7585)
4 I have been reckoned with them that go down to the pit; I became as a man without help;
Kai loe tangqom thungah caeh kaminawk hoi nawnto ang kroek o hmaek boeh; tha tawn ai kami baktiah ni ka oh sut boeh.
5 free among the dead, as the slain ones cast out, who sleep in the tomb; whom you remember no more; and they are rejected from your hand.
Kadueh kaminawk salakah vah sut ih kami, kami hum moe, taprong ah pasong o ih baktiah, na ban thung hoiah na takhoe ving moe, anih to na panoek ai boeh.
6 They laid me in the lowest pit, in dark [places], and in the shadow of death.
Kathuk koek tangqom, kaving moe, kathuk parai tangqom thungah nang pasong.
7 Your wrath has pressed heavily upon me, and you have brought upon me all your billows. (Pause)
Palung na phuihaih mah kai ang taeh; kai hae na tuiphunawk boih hoiah nang pacaekthlaek. (Selah)
8 You have removed my acquaintance far from me; they have made me an abomination to themselves; I have been delivered up, and have not gone forth.
Kam puinawk to nang lak pae ving; kai hae nihcae mah panuet hanah nang sak; kai nang paung caeng pongah, tasa bangah ka tacawt thai ai boeh.
9 Mine eyes are dimmed from poverty; but I cried to you, O Lord, all the day; I spread forth my hands to you.
Raihaih mah ka mik amrosak boeh; Angraeng, ni thokkruek nang kang kawk; nang khaeah ka ban kang payangh.
10 Will you work wonders for the dead? or shall physicians raise [them] up, that they shall praise you?
Kadueh kaminawk hanah dawnrai hmuen na sak pae han maw? Kadueh kaminawk angthawk o ueloe, nang to saphaw o tih maw? (Selah)
11 Shall any one declare your mercy in the tomb? and your truth in destruction?
Nam lunghaih to taprong thungah thui o tih maw, to tih ai boeh loe na oepthohhaih to amrohaih thungah thui o tih maw?
12 Shall your wonders be known in darkness? and your righteousness in a forgotten land?
Na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to khoving thungah panoek o tih maw? Na toenghaih doeh pahnet thaih prae ah panoek o tih maw?
13 But I cried to you, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent you.
Toe Aw Angraeng, kai loe nang khaeah ka qah; akhawn bangah lawkthuihaih loe na hmaa ah phak boeh.
14 Therefore, O Lord, do you reject my prayer, [and] turn your face away from me?
Angraeng, tipongah ka pakhra nang vah pae ving loe? Tipongah mikhmai nang hawk taak ving loe?
15 I am poor and in troubles from my youth; and having been exalted, I was brought low and into despair.
Kai loe nawkta nathuem hoi patang ka khang boeh moe, ka duek duih boeh; raihaih nang tongsak pongah kang pho sut boeh.
16 Your wrath has passed over me; and your terrors have greatly disquieted me.
Palung na phuihaih mah kai ang kraeng khoep boeh; nang tongsak ih raihaih mah ang paro boeh.
17 They compassed me like water; all the day they beset me together.
To hmuennawk loe tuibaktiah ka taengah ni thokkruek angzoh o; kai hae nawnto ang takui o.
18 You have put far from me [every] friend, and mine acquaintances because of [my] wretchedness.
Palung ih kami hoi ampuinawk to kai khae hoi kangthla ah nang suek pae, kam puinawk loe vinghaih thungah oh o.
