Psalms 39
1 To the Chief Musician. For Jeduthun. A Melody of David. I said, [to myself, ] I will take heed to my ways, That I sin not with my tongue, —I will put on my mouth a muzzle, So long as the lawless is before me.
“Katohna chunga chingthei tah in thil bol ing kating, kathusei doh chenga chonseponge. Kavel a Pathen ginglou ho aumteng kalei kakituh tang ding ahi” tin kei le kei kakihou ve.
2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, afar from happiness, But, my pain had been stirred:
Hinla hitia thipbeh a kaum a thupha jeng jong changkhat cha seilouva kaum chun kalung sunga lung gimna akhoh secheh in ahi.
3 Hot was my heart within me, While I was musing, there was kindled a fire, I spake with my tongue!
Kalunga kagelbe chan in kalung gimna akhoh cheh in, hiti chun seilou in kaum theipon ahi:
4 Let me know, O Yahweh, mine end, And the measure of my days—what it is, I would know how short-lived I am.
“Pakai leiset a kahinkhohi ichan a chom hitam neihin hetsah jing in, kahin nikhohi akisim jinghi neigeldoh sah in, kahin kho iti chom hitam?
5 Lo! as hand-breadths, hast thou granted my days, and my life-time, is as nothing before thee, —Surely, a mere breath, are all men, [even] such as stand firm. (Selah)
Nangin kahinkhohi ichangeiya chom a nasem hitam kakhutpeh sangin jong asaojopoi. Nangdingin kahinkho lhum keijong hi haikhat bou ahi. Mihem hinkho khat cheh jong hi haikhat cheh bou ahi.”
6 Surely as a shadow, doth every man wander, Surely in vain, do they bustle about, he heapeth things up, and knoweth not who shall gather them in.
Mihem hinkho hi milom kitol bang bep bou ahin, kisah lunggim naho jong hetman lou kah in akichai loi ji tai. Gou ikhol khom un, kon ahin manding ham jong ihe doh ji pouve.
7 Now, therefore, for what have I waited, O My Lord? My hope, is, in thee.
Hijeh chun pakai hoi a kinep na kakoi ding ham? Nanga bou kakinep na aum e.
8 From all my transgressions, rescue thou me, —The reproach of the base, oh do not make me!
Kaset bolnom na a kon in neihuh doh in, mingol ho neinoise sah hih in.
9 I am dumb, I cannot open my mouth, for, thou, hast done it.
Keima na ansung a thipchet in kaum e; imacha jong kasei louding ahi.
10 Remove from off me thy stroke, Because of the hostility of thy hand, am, I, consumed.
Ahinla pakai nei engbol hih in! Nakhut gu dounan kachao lhagam tai.
11 When, by rebukes for iniquity, thou hast corrected a man, Then hast thou consumed, as a moth, all that was delightful within him, Surely, a breath, are all men. (Selah)
Kachonset u suhdih na dia nei neijet tengu le, kasah lut u chonsetna chu nget in aneh bang in ajun lhaji tan ahi. Tahbeh in mihem khat cheh hi haikhat bou ahi.
12 Hear my prayer, O Yahweh, And, unto my cry for help, give ear, At my tears, do not be silent, —For, a sojourner, am, I, with thee, A stranger, like all my fathers.
O pakai kataona ngai in lang panpi ngaija kataona neingai pih in! kamit lhi lon nah sah mon koi hih in, ajeh chu keima hi namaljin bou kahin, kema masang a kapu kapa teu bang a kholjin vahle kahi bouve.
13 Look away from me that I may brighten up, Ere yet I depart and am no more.
Hiche leiset hinkho hi kadalhah a kahin kho abei masang kakipa a kanui kit n din nalung han a nagim bol na ho toh neichom khen in.
