Psalms 139
1 Yahweh, you have examined me, and you know [everything about] me.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, nang ni na pâphue teh na panue toe.
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.
Kai ka tahungnae, ka thawnae pueng hah na panue. Kaie ka pouknae pueng hai ahlanae koehoi na panue.
3 When I travel and when I lie down, you know everything that I do.
Ka ceinae lamthung hai thoseh, ka inae hai thoseh, na pâphue teh, ka coungnae puenghai na panue.
4 Yahweh, even before I say [MTY] anything, you know everything that I am going to say!
Kai ni lawk kam touh boehai ka dei hoeh nakunghai Oe BAWIPA, nang ni koung na panue.
5 You protect me on all sides; you put your hand on me [to protect me with your power] [MTY].
Nang ni kai pet na kalup teh, kaie van vah na kut hah na toung toe.
6 I am not able to understand that you know [everything about me]. That is too great for me to really understand.
Hot patet e panuenae teh kângairu, arasang, kai ni ka phat thai hoeh.
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]
Nange Muitha hoi hlout nahanelah nâmouh ka cei thai han va. Na hmalah hoi ka hlout nahanelah nâmouh ka cei thai han va.
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)
Kalvan ka luen pawiteh hawvah nang teh na o. Phuen koe yannae ka phai nakunghai hawvah nang teh na o. (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,
Amom ratheinaw ka lat niteh, tuipui avanglae rai koe kaawm nakunghai,
10 you would be there also, to lead me by your hand, and you would help me.
hote hmuen koehai Bawipa e kut ni na thak teh, aranglae kut ni na kuet han.
11 I could request the darkness to hide me, or I could request the light around me to become darkness,
Hmonae ni ka ramuk nakunghai, karum hai kaie tengpam vah angnae lah ao han.
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).
Bawipa hmalah hmonae ni banghai ramuk thai mahoeh. Karum teh khodai patetlah a ang. Hmonae hoi angnae teh reikâvan.
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.
Bawipa ni kaie kuen hah a sak teh, anu von thungvah kai hah na ramuk toe.
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.
Kai ni na pholen han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, takikatho lah, kângailah a ru. Ka hringnae ni kacaicalah a panue.
15 When my body was being formed, while it was being put together where no one else could see it, you saw it!
Kai hah arulahoi na sak teh, talai thung vah na pahlawm navah, ka tak teh na hmalah hro lah awm hoeh.
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!
Nange mit niteh, kamnuek hoeh rae ka tak hai na hmu toe. Kai hanelah na hmoun e hninthanaw hnin touh boehai ao hoehnahlan hoiyah nama e cauk dawk ngit na thut e lah ao toe.
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.
Oe Cathut, kai dawkvah nange pouknae teh aphu o poung. Banghloi apap tangngak.
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].
Hote pouknae teh parei han pawiteh, sadi hlak hai apap han doeh. Ka kâhlaw toteh nang hoi pou ka o.
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.
Oe Cathut, tamikaponaw hah na thet pawiteh ahawi han doeh. Tami thei hanlah thi ka phuen e naw, kai koehoi tâcawt awh.
20 They say wicked/malicious things about you; they slander your name.
Ahnimouh teh, ponae lahoi Bawipa tarannae lawk a dei awh. Nange tarannaw ni na min hah ayawmyin lah a hno awh.
21 Yahweh, I certainly [RHQ] hate those who hate you! And I despise [RHQ] those who rebel against you.
Oe BAWIPA, nang ni na hmuhma e naw hai kai ni hai ka hmuhma nahoehmaw. Nang ka tarannaw hai kai ni ka panuet nahoehmaw.
22 I hate them completely, and I consider that they are my enemies.
Kai ni ahnimouh hah puenghoi ka hmuhma. Ka taran lah doeh ka pouk.
23 God, search my inner being; find out what I am thinking!
Oe Cathut, kai hah na pâphue teh, kaie ka lungthin hah hmawt haw. Kai hah na noumcai nateh ka pouknae pueng panuek haw.
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 ni lamthung kathout dawk ka dawn ou, ka dawn hoeh ou tie na khen nateh, a yungyoe e lamthung dawk na hrawi haw.
