Saam 38
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Aw Angraeng, palungphuihaih hoiah na zoeh hmah loe, palungbethaih hoiah doeh na thuitaek hmah.
1(38-1) A Psalm of David, to make memorial. (38-2) O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger; neither chasten me in Thy wrath.
2Nang kah ih palaanawk loe ka tak thungah akun, na ban hoiah nang boh.
2(38-3) For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come down upon me.
3Palung na phui pongah, ka takpum ngantuihaih om ai; ka zaehaih pongah ka huhnawk ngantuihaih om ai boeh.
3(38-4) There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine indignation; neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
4Ka sakpazaehaih mah ka lu hae zaeng khoep, kai han kazit parai hmuen ah oh, ka phaw thai ai.
4(38-5) For mine iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5Kam thuhaih pongah kai ih ahmaanawk loe hmuiset moe, qongh.
5(38-6) My wounds are noisome, they fester, because of my foolishness.
6Raihaih ka tong boeh; kanung parai ah ka krak tathuk moe, qahhaih hoiah athun qui ka vah.
6(38-7) I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day.
7Ka kaeng loe panuet thok nathaih hoiah koi, ka takpum roe ah ngantuihaih om ai boeh.
7(38-8) For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8Tha ka zai sut boeh moe, ka pan dui boeh: tasoehhaih palungthin to ka tawnh pong ah, ka hangh.
8(38-9) I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning of my heart.
9Aw Angraeng, ka koeh ih hmuennawk loe na hmaa ah amtueng boih, ka hanghaih lok doeh na hmaa hoiah hawk thai ai boeh.
9(38-10) Lord, all my desire is before Thee; and my sighing is not hid from Thee.
10Ka palung loe tasoeh moe, tha doeh ka tawn ai: ka mik doeh amtueng ai boeh.
10(38-11) My heart fluttereth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11Ka nathaih pongah ka palung ih kaminawk hoi kam puinawk mah doeh kai ang yae o taak, ka imtaeng kaminawk mah doeh kangthla ah ang oh o taak boeh.
11(38-12) My friends and my companions stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12Ka hinghaih paduek han pakrong kaminawk loe kai hanah thaang patung o: nganbawh kana paek hanah kai pakrong kaminawk loe, athun qui amrohaih hoi alinghaih lok to thuih o.
12(38-13) They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak crafty devices, and utter deceits all the day.
13Toe kai loe naapang baktiah ka oh moe, pakhaa ang thai ai lokaa baktiah ka oh.
13(38-14) But I am as a deaf man, I hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14Lok thaikop ai, lokthuih palaem let thai ai kami baktiah ni ka oh.
14(38-15) Yea, I am become as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no arguments.
15Aw Angraeng, nang ni kang oep: Aw Angraeng ka Sithaw, nang mah loe nang pathim tih.
15(38-16) For in Thee, O LORD, do I hope; Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
16Nihcae mah kai anghoe o thuih ueloe, kam thaek naah nihcae mah kai han amoek o thui tih, to pongah na pathim raeh, tiah ka thuih.
16(38-17) For I said: 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.'
17Palungsethaih boeng thai ai boeh pongah, kam timh tom boeh.
17(38-18) For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.
18Ka sakpazaehaih to taphong moe, ka zaehaih pongah dawnpakhuem han boeh.
18(38-19) For I do declare mine iniquity; I am full of care because of my sin.
19Ka misanawk loe ngantui o moe, thacak o parai: tidoeh na ai ah kai hnuma kaminawk loe paroeai pop o.
19(38-20) But mine enemies are strong in health; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20Kahoih hmuen to ka patom pongah, hoihaih to sethaih hoiah pathok kaminawk loe kai ih misa ah oh o.
20(38-21) They also that repay evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
21Aw Angraeng, na prawt sut hmah: Aw ka Sithaw, kangthla ah na om taak hmah.
21(38-22) Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me.
22Aw Angraeng kai pahlonghaih, kai abomh hanah karangah angzo rae ah.
22(38-23) Make haste to help me, O LORD, my salvation.
