La Bu 13

1 O Pakai, phat itihchan geihi neisuhmil ding hitam? Itih chan keija kon’a nakiselmang ding nahim?

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

2 Itihchan gei hiche hahsatna hi kathoh ding ham? Itih chan asun ajan’a lungkhamna dimset’a kaum ding ham? Itih chan kagalmiten hanla eisap khum diu hitam?

How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

3 O Pakai, Ka-Pathen hung kiheijin, neihin donbut tan! Katha kile dohsah’in, neithisah hih’in.

Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

4 “Ama hi kajou tai!” tin kamelma te hi kalhuh nin kipasah hih beh in.

lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

5 Amavang namingailutna longlouvachu kingai jing kahi. Neihuhdoh jeh a keima kipa jing ding kahi.

But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

6 Keiman Pakai vahchoi lan sang e ajeh chu Ama keidin thilpha tah eibol peh ati.

I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.
