Psalms 102
1 “A prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out before the Lord his complaint.” O Lord, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto thee.
Aw Bawipa, kak cykcahnaak awi ve ngai law lah; bawm aham kang kqang awi ve na ven pha seh.
2 Hide not thy face from me on the day when I am distressed; incline unto me thy ear; on the day when I call, answer me speedily.
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 For my days vanish in smoke, and my bones are burning like a hearth.
Ka hqing khui khawnghikhqi ve maikhu amyihna ding bang nawh; ka quhkhqi ve maialh amyihna alh hy.
4 Struck [by heat] like the herb and dried up is my heart; for I forget to eat my bread.
Kak kawlung ve koh aai nawh qam amyihna reu hy; buh ai aham awm hilh qu hawh nyng.
5 Because of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my flesh.
Kang ko awh ka quh ingkaw ka vyn hqawng ni ak awm hqoeng hawh.
6 I am like the pelican of the wilderness: I am become like the owl amid ruins.
Qamkoh awhkaw bukbu amyihna ngawi hqoeng nyng saw, ak plawci anglakawhkaw bukbu amyihna awm hqoeng nyng.
7 I watch, and I am become like a [night-]bird sitting alone upon the housetop.
Ihmyh lonai na awm nyng saw; iptih khanna amah doeng ak ngawi hqoeng pha amyihna awm nyng.
8 All the day my enemies reproach me: they that mock me swear by me.
Khawnghi zung ka qaalkhqi ing nik kqawnset unawh, kai anik huhqytkhqi ing kang ming ve kqawn setnaak na hawna uhy.
9 For ashes do I eat like bread, and my drink I mingle with weeping;
Maivytkhqi ce buh na ai nyng saw ka awk hly kawi awm mikphli tuikhqi ing kqit uhy,
10 Because of thy indignation and thy wrath; for thou hadst lifted me up, and hast cast me down.
nak kaw a so aih awh, ni lo hqoet nawh nik khawng hyk ti.
11 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and like the herb I wither.
Ka hqingnaak khawnghikhqi ve khawmy benna kaw khawngkawn amyihna awm nawh; qam amyihna reu hy.
12 But thou, O Lord, wilt sit enthroned for ever; and thy memorial is unto all generations.
Cehlai, Bawipa, nang taw kumqui dy boei ngawihdoelh awh ngawi hyk ti; nang ming awm cadil naa dyna cak hy.
13 Thou wilt indeed arise; thou wilt have mercy upon Zion; for it is time to favor her, for the appointed time is coming.
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 thy servants hold dear her stones, and her very dust they cherish.
Na ceityihkhqi ing anih a lung ce lungna unawh; a dekvai ing cekkhqi ce am thin tlawh sak hy.
15 Then shall nations fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory:
Phynlumkhqi ing Bawipang ming kqih kawm usaw, khawmdek awhkaw sangpahrangkhqi boeih ing na boeimangnaak ce kqihchah kawm uh.
16 When the Lord shalt have built up Zion, he appeareth in his glory;
Ikawtih Bawipa ing Zion ce sa tlaih kawmsaw a boeimangnaak ing dang tlaih kaw.
17 [When] he hath regarded the prayer of the forsaken, and doth not despise their prayer.
Khawdeng ak voethlauhkhqi ak cykcahnaak ce hlat pe kaw; cekkhqi a qeen thoehnaak ce am huhsit pek khqi tikaw.
18 This shall be written down for the latest generation; and the people which shall be created shall 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 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; the Lord hath cast from heaven his view to the earth:
Bawipa ing a hun ciim sang soeih awhkawng nuk toek hy, khan nakawng khawmdek ve nuk toek hy,
20 To hear the sighing of the prisoner; to loosen those that are doomed to death:
thawng ak tlakhqi a ko kqangnaak awi ce ngai peek aham ingkaw thih aham ami palh sak thlangkhqi ce loet sak aham.”
21 That men may proclaim in Zion the name of the Lord, and his praise in Jerusalem;
Bawipang ming ce Zion awh kqawn na awm kawmsaw am kyihnaak ce Jerusalem awh awm kaw,
22 When people are gathered together, and kingdoms, to serve the Lord.—
thlangkhqi ingkaw qamkhqi ing Bawipa bawk aham cawn kawm uh.
23 He hath weakened on the way my strength; he hath shortened my days.
Khaw ka sak pyngthym mai awh kak tha ni boek pe nawh; ka hqinglung ni tawi pe sak hy.
24 I will say, O my God! take me not away in the midst of my days: throughout all generations are thy years.
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 In olden times didst thou lay the foundations of the earth; and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
Ak cykca awh nang ing khawmdek pengnelhnaak sai tiksaw, khankhqi ce na kut ing sai na awm hy.
26 These will indeed perish, but thou wilt ever exist: yea, all of them will wear out like a garment; as a vesture wilt thou change them, and they will be changed;
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 thou art ever the same, and thy years will have no end.
Cehlai nang taw amah toeng na awm poe kawp ti, nang a kumkhqi ingtaw a dytnaak awm am ti kaw.
28 The children of thy servants will dwell [securely], and their seed will be firmly established before thee.
A tyihzawihkhqi a cakhqi ce na haiawh awm kawm usaw; a cadilkhqi awm na haiawh cak poe hawh kawm uh.”
