Psalms 38
1 Yahweh, when you are angry [with me], do not rebuke/scold me and punish me!
Aw Bawipa, kawso doena koeh ni zyi nawh thin tawinaak ing koeh ni phep.
2 [Now it is as though] you have shot your arrows at me and wounded me; you have struck me and knocked me down.
Ikawtih, na lakhqi ing ni sun nawh, na kut ing kak khan awh ni nam khak hy.
3 Because you have been angry with me, I am suffering great pain. Because of my sin, my whole body is diseased.
Nam thin tawinaak ka pum awh sadip na qoe am awm tlaih hy; ka thlawlhnaak awh ka quhkhqi awm a sa am dip voel hy.
4 All my sins are [like a flood] that covers my head; they are like a load that is very heavy, with the result that I cannot carry it.
Ka thlawlhnaak ing ni vyih khoep nawh phyihqih naa tloei hak amyihna ni nam hy.
5 Because I have done foolish things, I have sores that have become worse, and they stink.
Ka thawlh ka qawnaakkhqi ve thu nawh tyih awm hy.
6 [Sometimes] I am bent over, and [sometimes] I lie prostrate; I am sad/cry all day.
Nung koep nawh am cei qeet awh balak nyng; khawnghi zung ko doena pla nyng.
7 My body is burning with fever, and I am very ill.
Kam ting kawng plih kang hawh nawh; ka pum awh sadipnaak qoe am awm voel hy.
8 I am completely exhausted, and I have no strength. I am very distressed, and I groan with pain.
Kak tha boeih hqoeng nawh sawp qu plawk hawh nyng; kawlung khuikha doena ko hqoeng nyng.
9 Yahweh, you know that I desire [to be healed]; you hear me while I am groaning.
Aw Bawipa, ik-oeih ka hym ka dawng soepkep na haiawh awng qu pheng nawh; kang konaak awi ve awm thuh thai na am awm hy.
10 My heat is pounding heavily, and all my strength is gone. I am no longer able to see well.
Ka bawng tlai lawp lawp nawh, kak tha am awm voel hy; kamik dainaak awm khum hawh hy.
11 My friends and neighbors stay away from me because of my sores; even my own family stays away from me.
Phoei am lit hqoeng na ka awm dawngawh ka pyikhqi ing ni qee uhy; ka imcengkhqi ingawm ak hla na ni awm ta uhy.
12 And those who want to kill me set traps to catch me; those who want to harm me discuss ways to get rid of me; they plot against me all day.
Ka hqingnaak hqe aham ak suikhqi ing thang ni dun sih uhy, nganbawh peek aham ak caikhqi ing ka seetnaak hly doek khoeih ce kqawn uhy; Khawnghi zung awh qaai kqawnnaak awi doeng ce kqawn uhy.
13 Now I act like I’m deaf, and do not listen [to what they say]. I act like I cannot talk, so I say nothing [to reply to them].
Awi amak za ang hakpang amyihna awm nyng saw; kha amak ang thai awimyh amyihna awm hqoeng nyng;
14 I act like a man who does not answer [when people talk to him], because he cannot hear anything.
Awi am za thai qoe nawh hlatnaak awi amak kqawn thai qoe amyihna awm nyng.
15 But Yahweh, I trust in you. My Lord God, you will answer me.
Aw Bawipa, nang ni ka ni qeh; Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, namah ing nim hlat kawp ti.
16 I said to you, “Do not cause [me to die, with the result that] my enemies will rejoice! Do not cause me to stumble, with the result that they will be very happy!”
Kai ingtaw, Cekkhqi ing kaw koeh ni qep sih seitaw kang bah awh kak khan awh koeh zoeksang qu u seh,” ti nyng.
17 I say that because I am about to fall down, and I constantly have pain.
Ikawtih, tlu tawm ca nawh, ka tlawhnaak ing amni hlah qoe hy.
18 I confess the wrong things that I have done; I am [very] sorry for the sins that I have committed.
Ka sai thawlhnaak ce kqawn nyng; ka thawlhnaak ing kyinaak ni pehy.
19 My enemies are healthy and strong; there are many people who hate me for no reason.
Tha ak awm ka qaalkhqi kqeng soeih uhy; ikaw am mai awh anik sawhnaak thlangkhqi khawzah ni.
20 Those who do evil things to me in return for my doing good things to them oppose me because I try to do what is right.
Ka leeknaak ce seetnaak ing anik thungkhqi ing ak leek ik-oeih ka hquut awh ak che na nik kqawn uhy.
21 Yahweh, do not abandon me! My God, do not stay far from me!
Aw Bawipa, nang ing koeh ni hlah hyt; Aw ka Khawsa, ak hla na koeh ni awm taak.
22 Lord, you are the one who saves/rescues me; Quickly [come and] help me!
Ka Bawipa ingkaw ka hulkung, kai hul aham ang tawnna law lah.
