Psalms 38
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
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.
1Aw Angraeng, palungphuihaih hoiah na zoeh hmah loe, palungbethaih hoiah doeh na thuitaek hmah.
2(38-3) For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come down upon me.
2Nang kah ih palaanawk loe ka tak thungah akun, na ban hoiah nang boh.
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.
3Palung na phui pongah, ka takpum ngantuihaih om ai; ka zaehaih pongah ka huhnawk ngantuihaih om ai boeh.
4(38-5) For mine iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
4Ka sakpazaehaih mah ka lu hae zaeng khoep, kai han kazit parai hmuen ah oh, ka phaw thai ai.
5(38-6) My wounds are noisome, they fester, because of my foolishness.
5Kam thuhaih pongah kai ih ahmaanawk loe hmuiset moe, qongh.
6(38-7) I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day.
6Raihaih ka tong boeh; kanung parai ah ka krak tathuk moe, qahhaih hoiah athun qui ka vah.
7(38-8) For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.
7Ka kaeng loe panuet thok nathaih hoiah koi, ka takpum roe ah ngantuihaih om ai boeh.
8(38-9) I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning of my heart.
8Tha ka zai sut boeh moe, ka pan dui boeh: tasoehhaih palungthin to ka tawnh pong ah, ka hangh.
9(38-10) Lord, all my desire is before Thee; and my sighing is not hid from Thee.
9Aw Angraeng, ka koeh ih hmuennawk loe na hmaa ah amtueng boih, ka hanghaih lok doeh na hmaa hoiah hawk thai 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.
10Ka palung loe tasoeh moe, tha doeh ka tawn ai: ka mik doeh amtueng ai boeh.
11(38-12) My friends and my companions stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
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.
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.
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.
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.
13Toe kai loe naapang baktiah ka oh moe, pakhaa ang thai ai lokaa baktiah ka oh.
14(38-15) Yea, I am become as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no arguments.
14Lok thaikop ai, lokthuih palaem let thai ai kami baktiah ni ka oh.
15(38-16) For in Thee, O LORD, do I hope; Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
15Aw Angraeng, nang ni kang oep: Aw Angraeng ka Sithaw, nang mah loe nang pathim tih.
16(38-17) For I said: 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.'
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.
17(38-18) For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.
17Palungsethaih boeng thai ai boeh pongah, kam timh tom boeh.
18(38-19) For I do declare mine iniquity; I am full of care because of my sin.
18Ka sakpazaehaih to taphong moe, ka zaehaih pongah dawnpakhuem han boeh.
19(38-20) But mine enemies are strong in health; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
19Ka misanawk loe ngantui o moe, thacak o parai: tidoeh na ai ah kai hnuma kaminawk loe paroeai pop o.
20(38-21) They also that repay evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
20Kahoih hmuen to ka patom pongah, hoihaih to sethaih hoiah pathok kaminawk loe kai ih misa ah oh o.
21(38-22) Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me.
21Aw Angraeng, na prawt sut hmah: Aw ka Sithaw, kangthla ah na om taak hmah.
22(38-23) Make haste to help me, O LORD, my salvation.
22Aw Angraeng kai pahlonghaih, kai abomh hanah karangah angzo rae ah.
