Psalms 102
1 Yahweh, listen to what I am praying; hear me while I cry out to you!
Yahweh Pakai kataona ngai in! Ka ngeh nahi neisanpeh in.
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!
Kei a kon in kiheimang hih'in, kahahsat phatleh khohsah tah'in neingaipeh in, kangaichat phatleh neihin gelkhoh in,
3 My life is ending, like smoke that disappears [SIM]; I have [a high fever which] burns my body like a fire burns [SIM].
Ajeh chu kahinkho hi meikhu bangin abeipai jitai, kagu kachang hi asadohji tai.
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.
Kalungsung hi anadohjin hamhing bangin agolha jitai, chutengle chun kagilkel jong abeipaiji tai.
5 I groan loudly, and my bones can be seen under my skin [because I have become very thin].
Ajeh chu lunggim a kakhoisat sat jeh'in kavun le kagu hobou kahitai.
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].
Keima neldi gam a sumbupi toh kabangtai, gamlatah gamthip gam a sumbupi noutoh kabangtai.
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].
Keima kahah khovahjin, inting vumma vacha changkhat seh lunghel tah-a um kabange.
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.
Kagal miten sun nilhum in eitaitom jingun, amahon eisamseuvin eitaitom jingun ahi.
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!
Keima buneh jong vutvai jeng ahitai. Kadon na sunga jong kamitlhi alonglut tai.
Nalunghan na le nagimbol nachun eidom sang in eipaidoh tai.
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].
Kahinkho hi nilhah lang nilep bangin achemang loijitai. Keima hampa bangin kagop lhaloi jitai.
12 But Yahweh, you are our king who rules [MTY] forever; people who are not yet born will remember you.
Ahinla Yahweh Pakai nangvang nalaltouna a natoujing ding ahi. Naminthan na akhang khanga chelhajing ding ahi.
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.
Nangma hung kipat in natin Jerusalem hi nahin khoto ding ahi. Tuahi nangnam na khohsah phat ahin, tuhi na kitepna dungjui a mi kithopi phat ahi.
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.
Ajeh chu namiten bang'a song jouse angailu uvin chuleh lamlenna vutvai hojeng jong angaisang'un ahi.
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.
Chujouteng leh chitin namtin ten Yahweh Pakai ang-a kithing thingding ahi,
16 You will rebuild Jerusalem, and you will appear there with your glory/brightness.
Ajeh chu Yahweh Pakai in Jerusalem ahin thahsem kitding chutengle Ama aloupina-a hung kilang ding,
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.
Aman tahlelte taona ahin sanding Aman angaichat hou asanpehding ahi.
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.
Khonunga khangthahho dinga kijihlut pehding hitiachu tua pengloulai hon Yahweh Pakai chu ahin thangvah dingu ahi.
19 They will know that you looked down from your holy/sacred place in heaven [DOU] and saw [what was happening on] the earth.
Yahweh Pakai in van muntheng a kon a ahin vetsuh ding, Aman van a kon a leiset hi ahin vetsuh ding
20 They will know that you hear prisoners groaning and that you will set free those who have been told, “You will be executed.”
songkul tangte khoisatna ajahding thidinga themmo kichanho alha doh dinga,
21 As a result, people in Jerusalem will praise you [DOU] for what you [have done]
hiteng chuleh Yahweh Pakai minthanna chu Zion a lopna umding, chule Jerusalem a kithangvah ding ahi.
22 when many people [from other people-groups] and [those who are citizens of other] kingdoms gather to worship you.
Mihonpi tamtah chu ahung ki khopkhom teng leh leng gam hojouse chu Yahweh Pakai chibai boh a hungdiu ahi.
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).
Aman kaban thahat akim laitah avolhun kahinkho asuchomtai.
24 I say to you, “My God, do not cause me to die now, before I become old! You live forever!
Hinla keiman Ama kakouvin, Oh Yahweh Pakai tonsot a hingjing kakhandon laitah ahin kahinkho lahih'in.
25 You created the world long ago, and you made (the heavens/everything in the sky) with your own hands.
Kum tamtah achetai, nangin hiche leiset leibul nana lhungdoh'in, vanhohi nakhut tah'in nanasemdoh in,
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,
hihojouse hung mangthah ding ahinlah nang tonsotna nahinjing ding ahi, amaho ponlui bangin hungvui lhantin, Nangin amaho chu von banga nakhelding chujouteng napai mangdiu ahi.
27 but you are [not like the things that you created], [because you are] always the same; you never die.
Hinla Yahweh Pakai nangvang abang chu nahijingin ahi.
28 [Some day] our children will live safely [in Jerusalem], and their descendants will be protected in your presence.”
Nangma mite chate jouse lungmong a umdiu ahi. Achate chateho chu na-anga hung khanglen diu ahi.
