Psalms 22
1 My God, my God, why have you abandoned/deserted me? Why do you stay so far from me, and why do you not hear/help me [RHQ]? Why do you not hear me when I am groaning?
Kathutkung: Devit Ka Cathut, ka Cathut, bangkongmaw na cei takhai. Bangkongmaw ka kâhramnae lawk thai laipalah, na kabawp hoeh nahanlah ahlanae koe na o.
2 My God, every day I call to you during the daytime and during the night, but you do not answer me, so I am not able to sleep.
Oe Cathut, khodai lah kâhram ei, nang ni na thai pouh hoeh. Karum lahai duem ka onae awm hoeh.
3 But you are holy. You sit on your throne as king, and [we the people of] Israel praise you [PRS].
Hatei, nang teh, na thoung. Isarelnaw ni pholen e lah na o.
4 Our ancestors trusted in you. [Because] they trusted in you, you rescued them.
Ka mintoenaw ni na kâuep teh, na rungngang.
5 When they cried out to you, you saved them. They trusted in you, and (they were not disappointed/you [saved them] as you said that you would).
Na kaw awh teh, na rungngang. Na kâuep awh teh, yeiraipo boi awh hoeh.
6 But [you have not rescued me] [People despise me and consider that I am not a man]; [they think that] I am [as worthless as] a worm! Everyone [HYP] scorns me and despises me.
Hatei, kai teh tangraet lah doeh ka o. Ayâ ni pathoe e hoi pacekpahlek e lah ka o.
7 Everyone who sees me [HYP] makes fun of me. They sneer at me and [insult me by] shaking their heads [at me as though I were an evil man]. They say,
Na ka hmawt e pueng ni na panuikhai, a pahni na ke sin awh. A lû na saling sin awh.
8 “He trusts in Yahweh, so Yahweh should save him! [He says that] Yahweh is very pleased with him; if that is so, Yahweh should rescue him!”
BAWIPA a kâuep nahoehmaw, ama ni rungngang na haw seh. Ahni dawk a ngainae awm pawiteh, atu roeroe rungngang na haw seh, telah ati awh.
9 [Why do] you [not] protect me [now as you did] when I was born? I was safe even when I was (nursing/drinking milk from my mother’s breasts).
Hatei, nang teh anu von thung hoi na karasatkung doeh. Sanu ka nei lahun nah puennae na takhoe pouh.
10 [It was as though] you adopted me right when I was born. You have (been my God/taken care of me) ever since I was born.
Pek khe hoi nang dawk hruek e lah ka o. Anu von thung hoi patenghai, nang teh ka Cathut lah yo la na o toe.
11 So, (do not stay far from/stay close to) [LIT] me now because [enemies who will cause me much] trouble are near me, and there is no one [else] who can help me.
Kai koehoi ahlanae koe awm hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae a hnai teh kabawmkung awm hoeh.
12 [My enemies] surround me [like] a herd/group of wild bulls. [Fierce people, like those] strong bulls that graze [on the hills] in Bashan [area], encircle me.
Maitotan moikapap ni na kalup. Bashan ram e athakaawme maitotannaw ni na kalup.
13 [They are like] roaring lions that are attacking the animals that they want to kill [MET] [and eat]; they rush toward me [to kill] me; they [are like lions that] have their mouths open, [ready to tear their victims to pieces] [MET].
A pahni na ang sin awh teh, sendek patetlah a cairing awh.
14 I am completely exhausted [MET], and all my bones are out of their joints/places. I [no longer expect that God will save me]; [that expectation is gone completely], like wax that has melted away.
Tui patetlah rabawk lah ka o teh, ka hruhrawng pueng teh koung a kâla. Ka lungthin teh khoilai patetlah ka thung vah, a kamyawt toe.
15 My strength is [all dried up] [MET] like a broken piece of a clay jar that has dried [in the sun]. [I am so thirsty that] my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. O God, [I think that you are about to let] me die and become dirt!
Ka tharui teh ampaikei patetlah a ke teh, ka lai hai ka dangka dawk a kâbet teh, duenae vaiphu dawk na ceikhai.
16 My enemies [MET] surround me like a pack/group of wild dogs. A group of evil men has encircled me, [ready to attack me]. They have [already] smashed my hands and my feet.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, uinaw ni na kalup awh. Tamikathoutnaw ni na kalup awh. Ka kut hoi ka khok pawkkayawng lah a thut awh.
17 [I am so weak and thin that] my bones can be seen and counted. My enemies stare at me and (gloat/are happy) about [what has happened to] me.
Ka hru pueng koung ka touk thai. Pout laipalah na khet awh teh, a lungkhuekti awh.
18 They looked at the clothes that I [was wearing] and gambled to determine which piece each of them would get.
Ka khohna a kârei awh teh, ka angki hah cungpam a rayu awh.
19 O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me! You who are my [source of] strength, come quickly and help me!
Oe BAWIPA na hlat takhai hanh. Oe ka thaonae karanglah na kabawm haw.
20 Rescue me from [those who want to kill me with] their swords. Save me from those who are [like wild/fierce] dogs [MET].
Senehmaica hoi na rungngang haw, ka hringnae ka sungren e heh uinaw thaonae koehoi na rungngang haw.
21 Snatch me away from [my enemies who are] like lions whose jaws [are already open, ready to chew me up] Grab me away from [those men who are like] wild oxen [that attack other animals with] their horns [MET]!
Sendek kâko dawk hoi na rungngang nateh, savi ki dawk hoi na rungngang haw. Na pato leih.
22 [But you have saved me, so] I will declare to my fellow [Israelis] how great you [MTY] are. I will praise you among the group of your people gathered [to worship you].
Ka hmaunawnghanaw koe na min ka pâpho vaiteh, kamkhuengnaw koe na pholen han.
23 You people who have an awesome respect for Yahweh, praise him! All you who are descended from Jacob, honor Yahweh! All you Israeli people, revere him!
Nangmouh BAWIPA kataketnaw, ama teh pholen awh. Jakop catounnaw pueng ama teh tawmrasang awh nateh, Isarel catounnaw pueng ama teh taket awh.
24 He does not despise or ignore those who are suffering; he does not hide (his face/himself) from them. He has listened to them when they cried out to him for help.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae ka khang e runae hah, dudam hoeh niteh, ahni koehoi a minhmai hai hrawk hoeh. Hatei, ahni koe a hram toteh a thai.
25 Yahweh, in the great gathering [of your people], I will praise you for what you have done. In the presence of those who revere you, I will offer [the sacrifices] that I promised.
Kalen e kamkhuengnae koe ka pholen e teh nang han doeh. Ama kataketnaw hmalah ka lawkkam hah ka kuep sak han.
26 The poor people [whom I have invited to the meal] will eat as much as they want. All who come worship Yahweh will praise him. I pray that [God will enable] you all to live a long and happy life!
Tami ka roedeng ni cat vaiteh a von a paha han. Ama katawngnaw ni BAWIPA teh a pholen han. Na lungthin hah pou kâhlaw seh.
27 I pray that [people in all nations, even] in the remote areas, will think about Yahweh and turn to him, and that people from all the clans in the world will bow down before him.
Talai poutnae pueng ni a pâkuem awh teh, BAWIPA koe a kamlang awh vaiteh, miphun pueng ni na bawk awh han.
28 Because Yahweh is the king! He rules all the nations.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, uknaeram teh BAWIPA e doeh. Miphunnaw hah a uk.
29 I desire that all the rich people on the earth will bow before him. Some day they will die, but I want them to prostrate themselves on the ground in his presence [before they die].
Talaivan katawntanaw pueng ni cat awh vaiteh a bawk awh han. Ma e hringnae ring thai awh hoeh. Vaiphu lah ka ban e pueng a hmalah a tabo awh han.
30 People (in the future generations/who have not been born yet) will also serve Yahweh. Our descendants will be told about what Yahweh [has done].
Ahnimae catounnaw ni hai a bawk awh vaiteh, catounnaw ni hai BAWIPA e kamthang hah a dei awh han.
31 People who are not yet born, [who will live in future years], will be told how Yahweh rescued his people. People will tell them, “Yahweh did it!”
A lannae, pâpho hanelah a tho awh vaiteh, khe lah kaawm hane naw koe BAWIPA ni hetheh a sak telah a pâpho awh han.
