Tingtoeng 139
1 Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung BOEIPA aw kai nan khe tih nan ming coeng.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known [me].
2 Namah loh ka ngol ka pai khaw na ming tih ka mangtaengnah te a hla lamloh na yakming.
Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off;
3 Ka yiin tih ka yalh ah khaw nan dangrhoek tih ka longpuei khaw boeih na hmaiben coeng.
Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways;
4 BOEIPA aw boeih na ming bangla ka lai dongah ol a om moenih he.
For there is not yet a word on my tongue, [but] lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.
5 A hnuk a hmai la kai nan thingthung tih kai soah na kut nan tloeng thil.
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.
6 Mingnah loh mangvawt la mangvawt coeng tih kai lakah a pomdoep te tah ka pha moenih.
O knowledge too wonderful for me! it is high, I cannot [attain] unto it.
7 Na Mueihla taeng lamloh melam ka pongpa vetih na mikhmuh lamloh melam ka yong eh?
Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? and whither flee from thy presence?
8 Vaan la ka luei cakhaw namah hnap, Saelkhui ah thingkong ka phaih cakhaw namah hnap na om. (Sheol h7585)
If I ascend up into the heavens thou art there; or if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou [art there]; (Sheol h7585)
9 Mincang phae ka phuel tih tuitun rhalvang ah kho ka sak.
[If] I take the wings of the dawn [and] dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Teah pataeng na kut loh kai m'mawt vetih na bantang kut loh kai n'tuuk ni.
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 “Khohmuep loh kai n'thing,” ka ti ngawn cakhaw khoyin he ka taengvai ah vangnah la poeh.
And if I say, Surely darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night;
12 Khohmuep pataeng namah taengah hmuep pawh. Te dongah khoyin te khothaih bangla, tamyin khaw khosae bangla sae ni.
Even darkness hideth not from thee, and the night shineth as the day: the darkness is as the light.
13 Namah loh ka kuel khaw na lai tih a nu bungko khuiah kai nan cun coeng.
For thou hast possessed my reins; thou didst cover me in my mother's womb.
14 Namah te kang hiin dongah ni kang uem. Na bibi khaw khobaerhambae la khobaerhambae coeng tih ka hinglu loh phaeng a ming.
I will praise thee, for I am fearfully, wonderfully made. Marvellous are thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well.
15 Ka thaa khaw namah taeng lamloh a thuh moenih. A huephael ah n'saii tih diklai laedil ah n'hlom.
My bones were not hidden from thee when I was made in secret, curiously wrought in the lower parts of the earth.
16 Ka pumho he na mik loh a hmuh coeng. Te boeih te na cabu khuila a daek uh vaengah khohnin khaw saii uh hlan tih amih te pakhat khaw om hlan.
Thine eyes did see my unformed substance, and in thy book all [my members] were written; [during many] days were they fashioned, when [as yet] there was none of them.
17 Te dongah Pathen namah na mangtaengnah tah kai ham bahoeng a phutlo tih a hnun bahoeng ting.
But how precious are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 Te te ka tae ham khaw laivin lakah puh. Ka haenghang vaengah kai khaw namah taengla ka om pueng.
[If] I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Pathen aw halang ke na rhaem oeh atah hlang thii he kai taeng lamloh khoe mai.
Oh that thou wouldest slay the wicked, O God! And ye men of blood, depart from me.
20 Namah te tangkhuepnah neh a thui tih na rhal rhoek loh a poeyoek la a phueih.
For they speak of thee wickedly, they take [thy name] in vain, thine enemies.
21 BOEIPA nang aka thiinah rhoek pawt nim ka thiinah tih nang aka tloelh rhoek taengah ka ko a oek?
Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? and do not I loathe them that rise up against thee?
22 Ka taengah thunkha la a om uh dongah amih te hmuhuetnah neh a khuetnah ka thiinah.
I hate them with perfect hatred; I account them mine enemies.
23 Pathen aw kai n'khe lamtah ka thinko ming lah. Kai noemcai lamtah ka mangvawtnah he ming lah.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; prove me, and know my thoughts;
24 Tedae ka khuikah tloh longpuei hmu lamtah kumhal longpuei ah kai m'mawt lah.
And see if there be any grievous way in me; and lead me in the way everlasting.
