Psalms 102
1 Yahweh, listen to what I am praying; hear me while I cry out to you!
Aw Bawipa, kak cykcahnaak awi ve ngai law lah; bawm aham kang kqang awi ve na ven pha seh.
2 Do not (turn away/hide yourself) from me when I (have troubles/am distressed)! Listen to me, and answer me quickly now, when I am calling out to you!
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 My life is ending, like smoke that disappears [SIM]; I have [a high fever which] burns my body like a fire burns [SIM].
Ka hqing khui khawnghikhqi ve maikhu amyihna ding bang nawh; ka quhkhqi ve maialh amyihna alh hy.
4 [I feel like] I am drying up like grass [SIM] that has been beaten/trampled down, and I no longer have a desire to eat food.
Kak kawlung ve koh aai nawh qam amyihna reu hy; buh ai aham awm hilh qu hawh nyng.
5 I groan loudly, and my bones can be seen under my skin [because I have become very thin].
Kang ko awh ka quh ingkaw ka vyn hqawng ni ak awm hqoeng hawh.
6 I am like a [lonely and despised] vulture in the desert, like an owl by itself in the abandoned ruins [of a building/city].
Qamkoh awhkaw bukbu amyihna ngawi hqoeng nyng saw, ak plawci anglakawhkaw bukbu amyihna awm hqoeng nyng.
7 I lie awake [at night]; [because there is no one to comfort me], I am like a lonely bird [sitting] on a housetop [SIM].
Ihmyh lonai na awm nyng saw; iptih khanna amah doeng ak ngawi hqoeng pha amyihna awm nyng.
8 All during the day my enemies insult me; those who make fun of me mention my name [and say, “May you be like him”] when they curse people.
Khawnghi zung ka qaalkhqi ing nik kqawnset unawh, kai anik huhqytkhqi ing kang ming ve kqawn setnaak na hawna uhy.
9 Because you are very angry [DOU] with me, now [I sit in] ashes [while I am suffering greatly]; and those ashes [fall on] the bread/food that I eat, and what I drink has my tears mixed with it. [It is as though] you have picked me up and thrown me away!
Maivytkhqi ce buh na ai nyng saw ka awk hly kawi awm mikphli tuikhqi ing kqit uhy,
nak kaw a so aih awh, ni lo hqoet nawh nik khawng hyk ti.
11 My time to remain alive is like an evening shadow [that will soon be gone] [SIM]. I am withering like grass withers [in the hot sun].
Ka hqingnaak khawnghikhqi ve khawmy benna kaw khawngkawn amyihna awm nawh; qam amyihna reu hy.
12 But Yahweh, you are our king who rules [MTY] forever; people who are not yet born will remember you.
Cehlai, Bawipa, nang taw kumqui dy boei ngawihdoelh awh ngawi hyk ti; nang ming awm cadil naa dyna cak hy.
13 You will arise and be merciful to [the people of] [MTY] Jerusalem; it is now time for you to do that; this is the time for you to be kind to them.
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 Even though (the city has been destroyed/our enemies have destroyed our city), we who serve you still love the stones that [were formerly] in the city walls; because now there is rubble everywhere, we, your people, are very sad when we see it.
Na ceityihkhqi ing anih a lung ce lungna unawh; a dekvai ing cekkhqi ce am thin tlawh sak hy.
15 Yahweh, [some day the people of other] nations will revere you [MTY]; all the kings on earth will see that you are very glorious/great.
Phynlumkhqi ing Bawipang ming kqih kawm usaw, khawmdek awhkaw sangpahrangkhqi boeih ing na boeimangnaak ce kqihchah kawm uh.
16 You will rebuild Jerusalem, and you will appear there with your glory/brightness.
Ikawtih Bawipa ing Zion ce sa tlaih kawmsaw a boeimangnaak ing dang tlaih kaw.
17 You will listen to the prayers of your people who are homeless, and you will (not ignore them/do what they request) [LIT] when they plead with you to help them.
Khawdeng ak voethlauhkhqi ak cykcahnaak ce hlat pe kaw; cekkhqi a qeen thoehnaak ce am huhsit pek khqi tikaw.
18 Yahweh, [I want to] write these words in order that people in future years [will know what] you have done, in order that people who are not born yet will praise you.
Ve ve ak law hly kawi cadil naakhqi ham qee na awm seh; saina ak awm hlankhqi ing Bawipa ce kyihcah na seh.
19 They will know that you looked down from your holy/sacred place in heaven [DOU] and saw [what was happening on] the earth.
Bawipa ing a hun ciim sang soeih awhkawng nuk toek hy, khan nakawng khawmdek ve nuk toek hy,
20 They will know that you hear prisoners groaning and that you will set free those who have been told, “You will be executed.”
thawng ak tlakhqi a ko kqangnaak awi ce ngai peek aham ingkaw thih aham ami palh sak thlangkhqi ce loet sak aham.”
21 As a result, people in Jerusalem will praise you [DOU] for what you [have done]
Bawipang ming ce Zion awh kqawn na awm kawmsaw am kyihnaak ce Jerusalem awh awm kaw,
22 when many people [from other people-groups] and [those who are citizens of other] kingdoms gather to worship you.
thlangkhqi ingkaw qamkhqi ing Bawipa bawk aham cawn kawm uh.
23 [But now] you have caused me to become weak while I am still young; [I think that] I will (not live much longer/ very long/soon die).
Khaw ka sak pyngthym mai awh kak tha ni boek pe nawh; ka hqinglung ni tawi pe sak hy.
24 I say to you, “My God, do not cause me to die now, before I become old! You live forever!
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 You created the world long ago, and you made (the heavens/everything in the sky) with your own hands.
Ak cykca awh nang ing khawmdek pengnelhnaak sai tiksaw, khankhqi ce na kut ing sai na awm hy.
26 The earth and the heavens/sky will disappear, but you will remain. They will wear out like clothes wear out. You will get rid of them like [people get rid of] old clothes, and they will no longer exist,
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 you are [not like the things that you created], [because you are] always the same; you never die.
Cehlai nang taw amah toeng na awm poe kawp ti, nang a kumkhqi ingtaw a dytnaak awm am ti kaw.
28 [Some day] our children will live safely [in Jerusalem], and their descendants will be protected in your presence.”
A tyihzawihkhqi a cakhqi ce na haiawh awm kawm usaw; a cadilkhqi awm na haiawh cak poe hawh kawm uh.”
