Psalms 139
1 Yahweh, you have examined me, and you know [everything about] me.
Aw Bawipa, nang ing ni sui nawh ni sim hyk ti.
2 You know when I sit down and when I stand up. [Even though you are] far away from me, you know what I am thinking.
Ngawi nyng kang dyih awh awm nang ing ni sim hyk ti; kak poeknaak ve ak hla nakawng sim hyk ti.
3 When I travel and when I lie down, you know everything that I do.
Cet nyng kang zaih awh awm nang ing ni sim hyk ti; lam boeih ce nang ing sim hyk ti.
4 Yahweh, even before I say [MTY] anything, you know everything that I am going to say!
Kam lai awh awi khangoet pateng za a awm hlan awh, Aw Bawipa, nang ing ni sim pheng hyk ti.
5 You protect me on all sides; you put your hand on me [to protect me with your power] [MTY].
Nang ing huhai na ni hawi ni le nawh, kak khan awh na kut ce tloeng law hyk hy.
6 I am not able to understand that you know [everything about me]. That is too great for me to really understand.
Cemyih cyihnaak ce kai aham kawpoek kyi soeih na awm hy, sang aih nawh pha voet hqoeng nyng.
7 (Where could I go to escape from your Spirit?/I could not go anywhere to escape from your Spirit.) [RHQ] (Where could I go to get away from you?/I could not go anywhere to get away from you.) [RHQ]
Nang ang myihla a ven awhkawng hana ka ceh thai kaw?
8 If I went up to heaven, you would be there. If I lay down in the place where the dead people are, you would be there. (Sheol h7585)
Khan na hang cet mai nyng seiawm, cena nang awm hyk ti; dek kai a dungnaak khuina zaih nyng seiawm, cena nang awm bai hyk ti. (Sheol h7585)
9 If I had wings and flew very far east [MTY], or if I flew west and made a place to live [on an island] in the ocean,
Myncang khawkdai awhkaw ang hla awh tho nyng, tuicunli vang ben caqai a hlanaak na awm mai nyng seiawm,
10 you would be there also, to lead me by your hand, and you would help me.
cena awm nang a kut ing ni sawi bai kawp ti, nak tang ben kut ing ak cak cana nim tu kaw.
11 I could request the darkness to hide me, or I could request the light around me to become darkness,
Thannaak ing ni hlip kawmsaw vangnaak ce ka ven tloek awh thannaak na coeng kaw,” ti mai nyng seiawm,
12 but even [if that happened], the darkness would not be darkness for you! For you, the night is [as bright] as the daytime is, because for you, daylight and darkness are (not different/the same).
thannaak ing nang ce amni sing noeng tikaw; khawmthan ce dai amyihna vang kaw, thannaak ce nang aham vangnaak na awm kaw.
13 You created [all] the parts of my body; you put [the parts of] my body together when I was still in my mother’s womb.
Ikawtih nang ing kak kawlung khui boeih ve sai hyk ti; ka nu ak phoen khui awh nang ing ni sing boeih hawh hyk ti.
14 I praise you because you made my [body in a very] awesome and wonderful way. Everything that you do is amazing! I know that very well.
Kqih awm ingkaw kawpoek kyi na nani sai a dawngawh nang ce nim kyihcah nyng; nang a ik-oeih saikhqi ve poek kyi na awm hy tice ak leek cana sim pheng nyng.
15 When my body was being formed, while it was being put together where no one else could see it, you saw it!
Ang hyp na sai na ka awm awh, ka pumqaw sainaak ve nang a venawh kawng thuh thai na am awm hy. Khawmdek a dungnaak awh kutoet na bawl na ka awm awh,
16 You saw me before I was born. You wrote in your book the number of days that you had decided that I would live. You did that before any of those days had [even] started!
na mik ing ak bawl qu hlan ka pum ve hu hawh hy. Kai a khawnghi caksak na ak awmkhqi boeih ce pynoet awm ang coeng hlan awh, na cauk awh qee na awm hawh hy.
17 God, what you think about me is very precious (OR, is very hard to understand). There is a great number of things that you think about.
Aw Khawsa, nak poeknaakkhqi ve kai aham a phu tlo soeih mah hy!
18 If I could count them, [I would see that] they are more than the grains of sand [at the seashore]. And when I wake up, I am still with you [and I know that there are still more of your thoughts about me to count].
Ka toek aham a awm mai mantaw, dizui dek anglakawh doem khqoet kaw. Kang hqyng law awh, na venawh awm hyn bak bak bai nyng.
19 God, I desire that you would kill all the wicked people! And I wish that violent [MTY] men would (leave/go away from) me.
Aw Bawipa, nang ing thlakche khqi doeng mah na him mai mantaw! Nangmih thlang a thin a mik ngaih tloek, ka venawh kawng ak hla na awm hoer uh!
20 They say wicked/malicious things about you; they slander your name.
Vekkhqi ing nang ce ak che na nik kqawn ngah ngah unawh; na qaalkhqi ing nang ming ce amak thym na hawna uhy.
21 Yahweh, I certainly [RHQ] hate those who hate you! And I despise [RHQ] those who rebel against you.
Aw Bawipa, nang anik sawhnaakkhqi ce sawh na nyng saw, nang qaal na anik thawh sihkhqi ce am ka tyih nawh nu?
22 I hate them completely, and I consider that they are my enemies.
Cekkhqi sawhnaak doeng ni ka taak; cekkhqi ce ka qaal nani kak poek.
23 God, search my inner being; find out what I am thinking!
Aw Khawsa, nang ing ni sek nawhtaw, kak kawlung ve sim law lah; ni noek ni dak nawhtaw kak kawpoekkhqi ve sim law lah.
24 Find out whether there is anything evil in my [inner being], and lead me along the road [that leads to my being with you] forever.
Kai awh boeseetnaak khqi ak awm hy voei nu, toek nawhtaw, kumqui lam awh ni sawi lah.
