Psalms 39
1 I said [to myself], “I will be careful not to sin by the things that I say [MTY]. I will not say anything [to complain] while wicked people are near to me [and can hear me].”
“Katohna chunga chingthei tah in thil bol ing kating, kathusei doh chenga chonseponge. Kavel a Elohim Pathen ginglou ho aumteng kalei kakituh tang ding ahi” tin kei le kei kakihou ve.
2 [So] I was completely silent [DOU], and I did not [even] talk about things that were good, but it was useless, because I began to suffer even more.
Hinla hitia thipbeh a kaum a thupha jeng jong changkhat cha seilouva kaum chun kalung sunga lung gimna akhoh secheh in ahi.
3 I became very anxious/worried [IDM]. As I thought [about my troubles], I became more worried. Then [finally] I said [MTY],
Kalunga kagelbe chan in kalung gimna akhoh cheh in, hiti chun seilou in kaum theipon ahi:
4 “Yahweh, show/tell me how long I will live. Tell me when I will die. Tell me how many years I will live!
“Yahweh Pakai leiset a kahinkhohi ichan a chom hitam neihin hetsah jing in, kahin nikhohi akisim jinghi neigeldoh sah in, kahin kho iti chom hitam?
5 [It seems that] you have caused me to live only a short time; (my lifetime/all the time that I have lived) seems like nothing to you. The time that all we humans live is [as short as] [MET] a puff of wind.
Nangin kahinkhov hi ichangeija chom a nasem hitam kakhut phang sangin jong asaojo poi. Nang dingin kahinkho lhum kei jong hi haikhat bou ahi soh tan, Mihem hinkho khat cheh jong hi haikhat cheh bou ahi.”
6 Then we disappear like a shadow does. It seems that all that we do is for nothing/useless. We [sometimes] get a lot of money, but we do not know who will get it [after we die].
Mihem hinkho hi milom kitol bang bep bou ahin, kisah lunggim naho jong hetman lou kah in akichai loi ji tai. Gou ikhol khom un, kon ahin manding ham jong ihe doh ji pouve.
7 So now, Yahweh, if I expect [RHQ] [to receive blessings from other people], I will be disappointed. You are the [only] one from whom I confidently expect [to receive blessings].
Hijeh chun Yahweh Pakai hoi a kinep na kakoi ding ham? Nanga bou kakinep na aum e.
8 Save me from [being punished for] all the sins that I have committed. And do not allow foolish people to make fun of me.
Kaset bolnom na a kon in neihuh doh in, mingol ho neinoise sah hih in.
9 I did not say anything [when you punished me], because [I knew that] you were the one who caused [me to suffer].
Keima na ansung a thipchet in kaum e; imacha jong kasei louding ahi.
10 But now, please stop punishing me! [If you do not do that], I am about to die because of the ways that you [SYN] have struck/afflicted me.
Ahinla Yahweh Pakai nei engbol hih in! Nakhut gu dounan kachao lhagam tai.
11 When you rebuke someone and punish him for the sin that he has committed, you destroy the things that (he loves/are precious to him), like moths’ [larva] destroy clothing. Our lives [disappear like] a puff of wind.
Kachonset u suhdih na dia neijep tengu le, kasah lut u chonsetna chu nget in aneh bang in ajun lhaji tan ahi. Tahbeh in mihem khat cheh hi haikhat bou ahi.
12 Yahweh, listen to me while I pray; pay attention to me while I cry out to you. Help me while I am crying. I am here on the earth for only a short time, like all my ancestors.
O Yahweh Pakai kataona ngai in lang panpi ngaija kataona neingai pih in! kamit lhi lon nah sah mon koi hih in, ajeh chu keima hi namaljin bou kahin, kema masang a kapu kapa teu bang a kholjin vahle kahi bouve.
13 [Now] please leave me alone, [and do not punish me any more] in order that I may smile and be happy for a while before I die. [EUP, DOU]”
Hiche leiset hinkho hi kadalhah a kahin kho abei masang kakipa a kanui kit na din nalung han na, nagim bol na ho toh neichom khen in.
