Psalms 39
1 To the Overseer, to Jeduthun. — A Psalm of David. I have said, 'I observe my ways, Against sinning with my tongue, I keep for my mouth a curb, while the wicked [is] before me.'
Ka cehnaak lam awh ce kang ngaih ta nawh kam lai awm thlawlhnaak awhkawng khoem vang; thlakchekhqi ka haiawh a awm khui awhtaw kam kha ve cyp vang,” ti nyng.
2 I was dumb [with] silence, I kept silent from good, and my pain is excited.
Cehlai awimyh na awm poek poek nawh, ik-oeih leek kqawn kaana ka awm awh zani, kak kawseetnaak ing pung hy.
3 Hot [is] my heart within me, In my meditating doth the fire burn, I have spoken with my tongue.
Kak kawk khuiawh kak kawlung hlawk nawh, poek typ typ nyng saw, mai ce kqawng hy; cawhtaw kam lai ing awi ce kqawn nyng.
4 'Cause me to know, O Jehovah, mine end, And the measure of my days — what it [is],' I know how frail I [am].
Aw Bawipa, ka hqing dytnaak ce nim huh nawhtaw khawnyn iqyt nu ka hqing kaw tice nim huh lah; ka hqingnaak ve choet ca mai ni ti ni sim sak lah.
5 Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age [is] as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity [is] every man set up. (Selah)
Ka hqing khui khawsaknaak ve kut pha teh doeng ni sai tiksaw; ka hqingnaak ve na haiawh ik choet awm am law hy. Thlang boeih a hqingnaak ve hqi doek khoeih mai ni.
6 Only, in an image doth each walk habitually, Only, [in] vain, they are disquieted, He heapeth up and knoweth not who gathereth them.
Thlanghqing ve huhai na ak cet myihlip ing myih hy; amah poek awhtaw tamtaw soeih lawt hlai hy, a zap mai ni; them awm cun hlai hy, u ing a pang kaw tice am sim hy.
7 And, now, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope — it [is] of Thee.
Cehlai tuh Bawipa, kai ing u nu ka sui? Kang ngaih-u-naak taw nang awh ni a awm.
8 From all my transgressions deliver me, A reproach of the fool make me not.
Ka sai thawlhnaak ak khui awhkawng ni hul nawhtaw; thlakqawkhqi ak kqawnseet na koeh ni sai.
9 I have been dumb, I open not my mouth, Because Thou — Thou hast done [it].
Awimyh na awm nyng saw; kam kha am awng nyng, kawtih, ve ve nang ing na sai hawh ni.
10 Turn aside from off me Thy stroke, From the striving of Thy hand I have been consumed.
Na ni vyknaak ve ka ven awhkawng khoe hlah; na kut zawk hawh nyng.
11 With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity [is] every man. (Selah)
A thawlhnaak awh thlangkhqi ce zyi nawh toel hyk ti; thlang boeih ve hqi doek khoeih mai ni.
12 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And [to] my cry give ear, Unto my tear be not silent, For a sojourner I [am] with Thee, A settler like all my fathers.
Aw Bawipa, kak cykcahnaak ve ngai law lah, qeennaak thoeh doena kak khynaak awi ve ngai lah; kang kqangnaak ve nang haa koeh kqek sih lah. Ikawtih, na venawh khin amyihna awm nyng saw, ka pakhqi amyihna thlak chang na awm nyng.
13 Look from me, and I brighten up before I go and am not!
Cet nawh am ka awm voel naak tym apha hlan awh ka zeelnaak tlaih aham, ak chang na ning mang tak mai.
