Psalms 38
1 A Psalm by David, for a memorial. LORD, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
O Yahweh Pakai lung phatmo nan neilethuh hih in, nalunghan jeh in jong neijep hih in!
2 For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.
Nathal changho kasunga akikam dentan, nakhuttum in neivo lhutan ahi.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
Neilunghan khum jeh in katahsa pumpi hi anan, kachonset naho jeh in katahsa achip soh tai.
4 For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
Kathepmo nan eilon khum in, agihdan poh jouhoi ahitapoi.
5 My wounds are loathsome and corrupt because of my foolishness.
Ngolhoi tah a kana chonset jehin, kamaha anasetan auidoh leotai.
6 I am in pain and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.
Kathoh gimna hin ei kong konsah tai, lung gim tah in nilhum kei in kavah len ahi.
7 For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.
Khosih pi kasunga meikong bangin a allin, eidammo sahtai.
8 I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
Keima kalhasam in kapum in kagoi lhatai. Kalungthim natna a kon in kapeng pengin ahi.
9 Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
Yahweh Pakai nangin ipi kangai chat ham nahei, nangin ka khoisatna jouse najai.
10 My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.
Kahaina hu alhasam tan katha beitai, chule kamit in jong kho amu tapoi.
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.
Kangailut chengle kagol kapaiten kahivei hi akichaovin eidalha taove. Ka insung mite jengjong achomin aumtaovin ahi.
12 They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.
Hiche jeng a jong chun kagalmi ten kathi nading thang akam nalai uve. Kaman thahna ding toh gon anei un, nilhum keijin kathi nading agong taovin ahi.
13 But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.
Hinlah ken eikigih naho jouse chu kakijah mosah in, chuleh amasang uvah apaomo bangin thipbeh in kaumtai.
14 Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.
Imacha jahlouding kanom in chuleh donbutna jong donbutlou ding kanom e.
15 For I hope in you, LORD. You will answer, Lord my God.
Ajeh chu O Yahweh Pakai nangma ngah jinga um a kahi. Nangin kataona neidonbut tei ding ahi O Yahweh Pakai Elohim ka Pathen.
16 For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”
Keima katao in, “kadougalte noise tah in eivetsah dan, kalhuhna a jong kitaisah dan.”
17 For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
Keima tanglouva kathohgim na-ah akichaipai ding kahitai.
18 For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.
Hinlah kachonset naho kaphong-doh in, ka nachonna ho chu kakisih behseh jenge.
19 But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.
Keiman dougal khohtah tah ho kanei e; amahon ajeh beihel in eidou ui.
20 They who render evil for good are also adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.
Amahon thilpha kabol chu thilsen eilethuh un, chuleh thilpha kachepi jing jeh in eidouvun ahi.
21 Don’t forsake me, LORD. My God, don’t be far from me.
O Yahweh Pakai neidalhahih in Elohim ka Pathen kei a kon in um gamla hih behin,
22 Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.
O Yahweh Pakai eihuh hingpa hungloi in lang nei kithopin.
