1 Pathen hlang Moses kah Thangthuinah Ka Boeipa nang tah, cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma duela, kaimih ham khuirhung la na om.
A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.
2 Tlang rhoek a om uh hlan tih diklai neh lunglai a poe hlanah, Pathen namah te kumhal lamkah kumhal duela na om coeng.
Before the mountains were brought forth, and thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from eternity to eternity thou art God.
3 hlanghing te hnipdik la na bal sak tih, “Adam ko rhoek mael uh laeh,” na ti nah.
Thou makest [mortal] man to return to dust, and sayest, Return, children of men.
4 Kum thawngkhat khaw nang mikhmuh ah tah, hlaem hnin at aka khum neh khoyin kah, hlaempang pakhat bangla om.
For a thousand years, in thy sight, are as yesterday when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.
5 Amih aka ip te na hnawt banlak tih, mincang kah aka poe sulrham bangla om uh.
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a sleep: in the morning they are like grass [that] groweth up:
6 Mincang ah khooi tih rhoeng dae, hlaem ah a baih tih rhae.
In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down and withereth.
7 Na thintoek loh n'khah uh coeng tih na kosi dongah ka let uh.
For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy fury are we troubled.
8 Kaimih kathaesainah he na hmaiah na khueh na khueh tih, na maelhmai kah vangnah khuiah kaimih he na thuh.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret [sins] in the light of thy countenance.
9 Kaimih kah khohnin boeih he na thinpom hmuiah khumpael uh tih, caitawknah neh kum loh thok.
For all our days pass away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a [passing] thought.
10 Kaimih kah kum neh khohnin he kum sawmrhih neh thayung thamal koinih kum sawmrhet khaw lo. Tedae te khuikah omthennah khaw thakthaenah neh boethae la pahoi aka khum dongah phang ka ding uh.
The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, yet their pride is labour and vanity, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Na thinpom khaw namah kah hinyahnah neh a tluk dongah, na thintoek sarhi te unim aka ming?
Who knoweth the power of thine anger? and thy wrath according to the fear of thee?
12 Cueihnah thinko ka dang uh van tih, kaimih kah khohnin te ka tae uh ham khaw m'ming sak lah.
So teach [us] to number our days, that we may acquire a wise heart.
13 Aw BOEIPA me hil nim na mael vetih, na sal rhoek te na hloep ve.
Return, Jehovah: how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
14 Na sitlohnah te mincang takuem kaimih nan kum sak dongah, kamamih kah a tue khohnin boeih ham khaw, kohoe la ka tamhoe uh van ni.
Satisfy us early with thy loving-kindness; that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15 Yoethae ka puei uh kum kah kaimih nan phaep tue neh, a tluk la kaimih ko han hoe sak lah.
Make us glad according to the days [wherein] thou hast afflicted us, according to the years [wherein] we have seen evil.
16 Na bisai te na sal rhoek taengah, na rhuepomnah khaw a ca rhoek taengah tueng saeh.
Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy majesty unto their sons.
17 Te dongah mamih Pathen, ka Boeipa kah mueithen he mamih soah om saeh. Mamih kut dongkah kah bibi khaw mamih ham sikim saeh. Mamih kut dongkah bibi te amah ham sikim pai saeh.
And let the beauty of Jehovah our God be upon us; and establish thou the work of our hands upon us: yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it.
