La Bu 13

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

HOW long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy 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 shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

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

Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

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

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

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

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

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

I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
