1Angraeng, nang loe adung boih ah kaicae ohhaih ahmuen ah na oh.
1BOOK IV A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.
2Maenawk loe om o ai vop, longlai hoi long na sah ai nathuem hoi boeh ni, nang loe dungzan hoi dugzan khoek to Sithaw ah na oh boeh.
2Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God.
3Kami to nam rosak; kami ih caanawk, amlaem o let ah, tiah na naa.
3Thou turnest man to contrition; and sayest: 'Return, ye children of men.'
4Saning sangto loe na hmaa ah tidoeh na ai ni, kalaem tangcae ni baktih, atue setta qum atue baktiah ni oh.
4For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5Nihcae to tui mah pazawk baktiah na lak ving; nihcae loe ka iip baktiah oh o moe, akhawnbang ah tacawt tahang phroh baktiah oh o.
5Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep; in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
6Phroh loe akhawnbang ah sai moe, qoeng tahang, duembang ah loe amro moe, azaem ving.
6In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
7Kaicae loe palung na phuihaih hoiah kam ro o; palung na bet pongah tasoehhaih hoiah ka oh o.
7For we are consumed in Thine anger, and by Thy wrath are we hurried away.
8Kaicae sakpazaehaihnawk to na hmaa ah na suek moe, tamqumta hoiah ka sak o ih zaehaihnawk loe na hmaa ih aanghaih mah toeh phaeng.
8Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance.
9Palung na phui pongah kaicae ih aninawk loe laemh boeh; saningnawk loe thuih ih ruici baktiah ni ka laemh o sak boeh.
9For all our days are passed away in Thy wrath; we bring our years to an end as a tale that is told.
10Kaicae hinghaih saning loe qui sarihto sawk; thacak nahaeloe saning qui tazetto pha tih; khosak hoih li nathuem ah doeh patanghaih hoi palungsethaih khue ni oh; toe saningnawk loe akra ai ah laemh o, kaicae doeh kang hmat kang taa o.
10The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years; yet is their pride but travail and vanity; for it is speedily gone, and we fly away.
11Palung na phuihaih tha loe mi mah maw panoek tih? Nang loe zitthoh baktih toengah palung na phuihaih doeh zitthoh.
11Who knoweth the power of Thine anger, and Thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto Thee?
12Palunghahaih ka patoh o thai hanah, ka hing o haih aninawk kroek thaihaih to na patuk ah.
12So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.
13Aw Angraeng, amlaem let ah, nasetto maw akra vop tih? Na tamnanawk nuiah tahmenhaih to tawn ah.
13Return, O LORD; how long? And let it repent Thee concerning Thy servants.
14Na tahmenhaih rang hoiah akhawnbang ah zok amhahsak ah; to tiah nahaeloe ka hing o thung anghoehaih hoi oephaih hoiah ka om o tih.
14O satisfy us in the morning with Thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15Kaicae patang nang khangsakhaih saning, kasae tonghaih saning paroeai pop boeh pongah, kaicae anghoehaih atue to na paek ah.
15Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, according to the years wherein we have seen evil.
16Na sak ih hmuen to na tamnanawk khaeah amtuengsak ah loe, na lensawkhaih to a caanawk khaeah amtuengsak ah.
16Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, and Thy glory upon their children.
17Aicae Angraeng Sithaw tahmenhaih aicae nuiah om nasoe; kaimacae ban hoi ka sak o ih tok to na caksak ah; ue, kaimacae ban hoi ka sak o ih tok to na caksak ah.
17And let the graciousness of the Lord our God be upon us; establish Thou also upon us the work of our hands; yea, the work of our hands establish Thou it.
