Psalms 39
1 [For the Chief Musician. For Jeduthun. A Psalm by David.] I said, "I will watch my ways, so that I do not sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me."
Ka cehnaak lam awh ce kang ngaih ta nawh kam lai awm thlawlhnaak awhkawng khoem vang; thlakchekhqi ka haiawh a awm khui awhtaw kam kha ve cyp vang,” ti nyng.
2 I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.
Cehlai awimyh na awm poek poek nawh, ik-oeih leek kqawn kaana ka awm awh zani, kak kawseetnaak ing pung hy.
3 My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned: I spoke with my tongue:
Kak kawk khuiawh kak kawlung hlawk nawh, poek typ typ nyng saw, mai ce kqawng hy; cawhtaw kam lai ing awi ce kqawn nyng.
4 "Jehovah, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.
Aw Bawipa, ka hqing dytnaak ce nim huh nawhtaw khawnyn iqyt nu ka hqing kaw tice nim huh lah; ka hqingnaak ve choet ca mai ni ti ni sim sak lah.
5 Look, you have made my days handbreadths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath." (Selah)
Ka hqing khui khawsaknaak ve kut pha teh doeng ni sai tiksaw; ka hqingnaak ve na haiawh ik choet awm am law hy. Thlang boeih a hqingnaak ve hqi doek khoeih mai ni.
6 "Surely a person goes about like a shadow. Surely he heaps up vain things of wealth, and doesn't know who shall gather them.
Thlanghqing ve huhai na ak cet myihlip ing myih hy; amah poek awhtaw tamtaw soeih lawt hlai hy, a zap mai ni; them awm cun hlai hy, u ing a pang kaw tice am sim hy.
7 Now, Jehovah, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.
Cehlai tuh Bawipa, kai ing u nu ka sui? Kang ngaih-u-naak taw nang awh ni a awm.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions. Do not make me the taunt of fools.
Ka sai thawlhnaak ak khui awhkawng ni hul nawhtaw; thlakqawkhqi ak kqawnseet na koeh ni sai.
9 I was mute. I did not open my mouth, because you did it.
Awimyh na awm nyng saw; kam kha am awng nyng, kawtih, ve ve nang ing na sai hawh ni.
10 Remove your scourge away from me. I am overcome by the blow of your hand.
Na ni vyknaak ve ka ven awhkawng khoe hlah; na kut zawk hawh nyng.
11 When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity, You consume his wealth like a moth. Surely every man is but a breath." (Selah)
A thawlhnaak awh thlangkhqi ce zyi nawh toel hyk ti; thlang boeih ve hqi doek khoeih mai ni.
12 "Hear my prayer, Jehovah, and give ear to my cry. Do not be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with you, a foreigner, as all my fathers were.
Aw Bawipa, kak cykcahnaak ve ngai law lah, qeennaak thoeh doena kak khynaak awi ve ngai lah; kang kqangnaak ve nang haa koeh kqek sih lah. Ikawtih, na venawh khin amyihna awm nyng saw, ka pakhqi amyihna thlak chang na awm nyng.
13 Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go away, and exist no more."
Cet nawh am ka awm voel naak tym apha hlan awh ka zeelnaak tlaih aham, ak chang na ning mang tak mai.
