< Tingtoeng 38 >

1 David kah ngaidamnah Tingtoenglung Aw BOEIPA, na thinhul neh kai n'tluung boel lamtah na kosi neh kai n'toel boeh.
Adonai, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
2 Na thaltang loh kai dongah sap ha tlaeh tih na kut loh kai n'nan.
For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.
3 Nang kah kosi dongah ka pum he hlang la om voelpawh. Ka tholh dongah ka rhuh a sading pawh.
There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
4 Kai kathaesainah loh ka lu hang khuk tih, kai ham hnophueih bangla a rhih loh n'nan.
For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
5 Ka anglat dongah, ka boengha rhong tih rhim coeng.
My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.
6 Ka ngam paihaeh tangkik hil khohnin yungah kopang neh ka van.
I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.
7 Ka uen khaw boeih duih tih, ka pum he hlang la om voelpaawh.
For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.
8 Ka lungmit tih ka paep dongah, lungbuei phoenanah neh mat ka kawk.
I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
9 Ka ngaihlihnah boeih he, ka Boeipa namah taengah ka hal tih, ka hueinah he namah taeng lamloh a thuh moenih.
Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
10 Ka lungbuei a thimpom tih ka thadueng hnoeng. Te dongah ka mik khaw tueng pawh.
My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.
11 Ka tlohtat dongah ka lungnah ka paya rhoek loh saisai m'pai tak tih ka huiko khaw a hla lam ni a pai uh coeng.
My 'ahav ·affectionate lovers· and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.
12 Ka hinglu aka mae rhoek loh n'hlaeh tih, kai yoethae puei ham aka tlap rhoek loh a talnah te a thui uh. Te dongah hlangthai palat rhoek loh hnin at puet n'taeng uh.
They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.
13 Tedae kai tah hnapang bangla ka ya voelpawt tih olmueh loh a ka a ang pawt bangla ka om.
But I, as a deaf man, don’t sh'ma ·hear obey·. I am as a mute man who does not open his mouth.
14 Te dongah aka ya thai pawt tih a ka ah toelthamnah aka om pawt hlang bangla ka om.
Yes, I am as a man who does not sh'ma ·hear obey·, in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 BOEIPA nang dongah ka hangdang tih nang loh nan doo bitni ka Boeipa ka Pathen aw
For in you, Adonai, do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God.
16 Te dongah, “Ka kho he a paloe vaengah kai n'kohah thil uh tih kai soah pomsang uh ve,” ka ti.
For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”
17 Cungdonah ham ka tawn uh tih ka nganboh loh kamah taengah om taitu.
For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
18 Te dongah kai kathaesainah te ka doek. Kamah kah tholhnah dongah ka mawn.
For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.
19 Tedae ka thunkha rhoek kah hingnah tah ting tih a honghi dongah ka lunguet loh pungtai.
But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20 Te dongah a then te a thae neh aka thuung rhoek loh kai n'khingkhoek vaengah a then te kamah loh ka vai rhoela ka vai.
They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.
21 Ka BOEIPA Pathen aw, kai n'hno boel lamtah kai taeng lamkah n'lakhla tak boeh.
Don’t forsake me, Adonai. My God, don’t be far from me.
22 Kai bomkung la ha tawn uh laeh ka loeihnah Boeipa.
Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.
