Psalms 88
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1(88-1) A Song, a Psalm of the sons of Korah; for the Leader; upon Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. (88-2) O LORD, God of my salvation, what time I cry in the night before Thee,
1Kai kah khangnah Pathen BOEIPA, namah hmaiah khoyin khothaih ka pang.
2(88-3) Let my prayer come before Thee, incline Thine ear unto my cry.
2Ka thangthuinah loh namah mikhmuh la ha pawk saeh. Ka tamlung he na hna kaeng thil lah.
3(88-4) For my soul is sated with troubles, and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
3Ka hinglu he yoethae loh hah coeng tih ka hingnah he Saelkhui a paan coeng.
4(88-5) I am counted with them that go down into the pit; I am become as a man that hath no help;
4Tangrhom la aka suntla rhoek neh n'moeh tih a dawn aka sai mueh hlang bangla ka om.
5(88-6) Set apart among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom Thou rememberest no more; and they are cut off from Thy hand.
5Aka duek rhoek taengah a rhoe tih phuel kah aka yalh rhok te na ngaidam voel kolla na kut dong lamkah na tuiphih banghui lamni ka om coeng.
6(88-7) Thou hast laid me in the nethermost pit, in dark places, in the deeps.
6Kai he a laedil kah tangrhom ah, khohmuep ah, a cok ah nan khueh.
7(88-8) Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and all Thy waves Thou pressest down. Selah
7Na kosi te kai soah na tloeng tih na tuiphu tom neh nan phaep.
8(88-9) Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them; I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
8Kamah kah hmaiben nawn khaw kai taeng lamkah nan lakhla sak. Amih kah tueilaehkoi la kai nan khueh dongah n'nan uh tih ka coe thai pawh. Selah
9(88-10) Mine eye languisheth by reason of affliction; I have called upon Thee, O LORD, every day, I have spread forth my hands unto Thee.
9Phacipphabaem khui lamkah nang kang khue ham khaw ka mik kha coeng. BOEIPA namah taengah hnin takuem ka kut ka phuel.
10(88-11) Wilt Thou work wonders for the dead? Or shall the shades arise and give Thee thanks? Selah
10Aka duek rhoek ham khobaerhambae na saii pah atah sairhai a aka thoo vetih namah n'uem eh? Selah
11(88-12) Shall Thy mercy be declared in the grave? or Thy faithfulness in destruction?
11Nang kah sitlohnah te phuel khuiah, na uepomnah te Abaddon ah a thui aya?
12(88-13) Shall Thy wonders be known in the dark? and Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
12Nang kah khobaerhambae te khohmuep khuiah, namah kah duengnah te lunghnilh kho ah a ming uh aya?
13(88-14) But as for me, unto Thee, O LORD, do I cry, and in the morning doth my prayer come to meet Thee.
13Tedae kai loh BOEIPA nang taengah ka pang tih mincang kah ka thangthuinah loh namah n'doe.
14(88-15) LORD, why castest Thou off my soul? Why hidest Thou Thy face from me?
14BOEIPA aw ba dongah nim ka hinglu he na hlahpham tih kai taeng lamkah na maelhmai na thuh mai?
15(88-16) I am afflicted and at the point of death from my youth up; I have borne Thy terrors, I am distracted.
15Kai mangdaeng he ka camoe lamkah ka pal coeng. Nang taengkah mueirhih ka phueih tih ka ngaidaeng.
16(88-17) Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off.
16Na thinsa loh kai soah n'khuk tih namah kah hihhamnah loh kai m'biit uh coeng.
17(88-18) They came round about me like water all the day; they compassed me about together.
17Tui bangla kai n'hil uh tih, khohnin yung ah kai malh m'vael.
18(88-19) Friend and companion hast Thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
18Ka lungnah ka paya khaw kai taeng lamkah nan lakhla sak tih khohmuep ni ka hmaiben coeng.
