Psalms 39
1 TO THE OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF DAVID. I have said, “I observe my ways, Against sinning with my tongue, I keep a curb for my mouth, While the wicked [is] before me.”
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 mute [with] silence, I kept silent from good, and my pain is excited.
Lawk dei laipalah duem ka o. Hawinae boehai dei laipalah duem ka o teh, ka lung hoehoe a mathoe.
3 My heart [is] hot within me, In my meditating the fire burns, I have spoken with my tongue.
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 “Cause me to know, O YHWH, my end, And the measure of my days—what it [is],” I know how frail I [am].
BAWIPA ka thayounnae ka panue thai nahan, ka poutnae na panuek sak haw. Ka hringnae hnin hai na panuek sak haw.
5 Behold, You have made my days handbreadths, And my age [is] as nothing before You, Only, every man set up [is] all vanity. (Selah)
Bokheiyah, ka hringyung heh khap touh dueng na sak teh, ka kumnaw hai na hmalah, banghai bang hoeh lah doeh ao.
6 Only, each habitually walks in an image, Only, [in] vain, they are disquieted, He heaps up and does not know who gathers 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, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope—it [is] of You.
Bawipa, atu ka panue e heh bang na maw. Nang teh ka ngaihawi e lah na o.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions, Do not make me a reproach of the fool.
Kâtapoenae pueng thung hoi na rasat haw, tamipathunaw ni panuikhai hanelah na awm sak hanh.
9 I have been mute, I do not open my mouth, Because You have done [it].
Nang teh, kasakkung lah na o dawkvah, ka kâko ka ang laipalah duem ka o.
10 Turn aside Your stroke from off me, From the striving of Your hand I have been consumed.
Na reknae heh na takhoe pouh leih, na kut hoi hemnae ni koung na raphoe toe.
11 With reproofs against iniquity, You have corrected man, And dissolve his desirableness as a moth, Only, every man [is] vanity. (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 Hear my prayer, O YHWH, And give ear [to] my cry, Do not be silent to my tear, For I [am] a sojourner with You, A settler like 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 Look from me, and I brighten up before I go and am not!
Kaawm toung laipalah, ka khup hoehnahlan vah, ka ko bout a nawm nahanelah, na pasai haw.
