Psalms 88
1 A Song, a Melody. For the Sons of Korah. To the Chief Musician. On "Mahalath." For alternate Song. An Instructive Psalm. By Heman the Ezrahite. O Yahweh, God of my salvation, By day, have I made outcry, In the night, [also] before thee.
Aw Bawipa, kai anik hulkung Khawsa, khawmthan khawdai na haiawh khy nyng.
2 Let my prayer, come into thy presence, Bow down thine ear to my loud cry.
Kak cykcahnaak ve na haiawh pha seitaw; kak khynaak benna nang haa keng law lah.
Ka hqingnaak ve kyinaak ing be nawh ka hqingnaak ve hlan ing ni a ning zoe qu hawh hy. (Sheol h7585)
4 I am counted with them who descend into the pit, I have become as a man that is without help;
Lawk-kqawng na a nuk cetkhqi ing nik dawh sih haih uhy; kai vemyih tha amak awm thlang ve.
5 Among the dead, is my couch, —Like the slain that lie in the grave, Where thou rememberest them no more, Yea, they, from thy hand, are cut off;
Thlak thikhqi anglakawh ni hoep unawh, thlang him unawh hlan awh ami soei amyihna, nang a khoemnaak ak khuiawh amak awm voel hawh thlangkhqi amyihna, nang ing anih ce am sim qoe voel hyk ti.
6 Thou hast laid me, In the lowest pit, In dark places, In the deeps:
Lawk-kqawng ak kai dyt ak hypnaak tit tit na ni ta hyk ti.
7 Upon me, hath rested thine indignation, And, with all thy breakers, hast thou caused affliction. (Selah)
Nak kawsonaak ce kak khan awh ak qih soeih na ta tiksaw; hlipui ing ce ni sing malh hyk ti.
8 Thou hast far removed mine acquaintances from me, —Thou hast made me an abomination unto them, Shut up, and I cannot go forth!
Ka pyikhqi awm ni lawh pe tiksaw cekkhqi am tyih kawi na ni sai hyk ti. Nik kqyp khak tiksaw ap cawn thai nyng;
9 Mine eye, hath dimmed through affliction; I have called upon thee, O Yahweh, all day long, I have spread out, unto thee, my hands.
Kak kaw a seet aih awh ka mik qawi awm hyp khoep hawh hy. Aw Bawipa, nang ce khawnghi zung nik khy nyng saw, nang a venawh ka kut qawi ve phyl nyng.
10 For the dead, wilt thou perform a wonder? Or shall, the shades, arising, give thee thanks? (Selah)
Thlak thi a venawh kawpoek kyi ik-oeih nak dang sak nu? Ak thikhqi ing tho unawh nang nim kyihcah unawh nu?
11 Shall Thy lovingkindness be recounted in the grave? Thy faithfulness, in destruction?
Phyi awh nang a lungnaak ce amik kqawn nu; seetnaak a hunawh nang a ypawmnaak ce amik kqawn nu?
12 Shall any wonder of thine, be known in the dark? Or, thy righteousness, in the land of forgetfulness?
Thannaak awh nang ak kawpoek kyi ik-oeih sai ce sim na ak awm nu, am awhtaw lunghilhnaak qam awh nang a dyngnaak ik-oieh ai ce a mik sim nu?
13 But, I, unto thee, O Yahweh, have cried for help, And, in the morning, my prayer will confront thee!
Cehlai Aw Bawipa, qeennaak thoeh doena na venawh khy nyng, mymcang hqit awh kak cykcahnaak ing na hai pha law hy.
14 Wherefore, O Yahweh, shouldst thou reject my soul? shouldst thou hide thy face from me?
Ikawtih Aw Bawipa, ni qoeng nawh, na haai na thuh hy voei?
15 Afflicted have I been, and dying, from youth, I have borne the terror of thee—I shall be distracted!
Ka naasen ca awhkawng khuikha sim nyng saw thih pit dyna awm nyng; nak kqih awmnaak zawk nyng saw kawboet ing awm nyng.
16 Over me, have passed thy bursts of burning anger, The alarms of thee have put an end to me;
Nak kawsonaak ing ni sing khyng nawh; nak kqih awmnaak ing ni plawci sak hy.
17 They have surrounded me like waters, all the day, They have come circling against me together:
Khawnghi zung tuinu amyihna nik chung khoep uhy; cekkhqi ing nik chawi malh uhy.
18 Thou hast far removed from me, lover and friend, Mine acquaintances, are in darkness.
Ka pyikhqi ingkaw ka lungnaak thlangkhqi ce lo tiksaw; thannaak ve ni ak zoe khyt pyi na a awm hawh hy.
