Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
1Kai loe anih palungphuihaih quiboeng hoiah patang ka khang boeh.
2He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.
2Anih mah khodai ai, khoving thungah ang hoih.
3Surely he turns his hand against me again and again all day long.
3Anih mah ang thuitaek; athun qui vaihi hoi vaihi a ban hoiah ang thuitaek.
4He has made my flesh and my skin old. He has broken my bones.
4Anih mah ka ngan hoi ahin ang hmawnsak; ka huhnawk doeh angkhaehsak.
5He has built against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
5Kai tuk hanah misatuh kaminawk to pakhueng moe, kakhaa hoi karai hmuen hoiah ang takui khoep.
6He has made me dwell in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
6Canghnii ah kadueh kami baktiah, khoving thungah ang suek.
7He has walled me about, so that I can’t go out. He has made my chain heavy.
7Sipae hoi ang takui khoep pongah, ka loih thai ai; kazit sumqui hoiah ang pathlet.
8Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.
8Ka hangh moe, lawk ka thuih naah doeh, lawk ka thuihaih to ang pakaa pae ving.
9He has walled up my ways with cut stone. He has made my paths crooked.
9Ka caehhaih loklam to thlung hoiah ang pakaa pae khoep moe, kang koih loklam to ang pazuisak.
10He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in hiding.
10Anih loe kai hanah, moi angang taqom baktih, amtueng ai ahmuen ah kaom kaipui baktiah oh.
11He has turned away my path, and pulled me in pieces. He has made me desolate.
11Anih mah kai loklam amkhraengsak moe, ang taprawt pet pacoengah, kai hae amrosak.
12He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
12Anih mah kalii anueng moe, kai to palaa kahhaih ahmuen ah ang suek.
13He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys.
13Kalii tabu thung ih anih ih palaanawk mah ka kaeng ah cop.
14I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all day long.
14Kai loe kaimah ih kaminawk mah pahnui thuih han ih ni ka oh sut boeh; ni thokkruek laasak thuih hanah ka oh.
15He has filled me with bitterness. He has stuffed me with wormwood.
15Anih mah kakhaa tui hoiah ang bawh moe, kakhaa ahmuet hoiah ang paquisak.
16He has also broken my teeth with gravel. He has covered me with ashes.
16Anih mah thlung hoiah ka ha angkhaehsak moe, maiphu hoiah ang phumh.
17You have removed my soul far away from peace. I forgot prosperity.
17Monghaih hoi kangthla ah ka hinghaih pakhra na suek ving boeh pongah, khosak hoihaih to ka pahnet boeh.
18I said, “My strength has perished, along with my expectation from the LORD.”
18To pongah Angraeng khae ih thacakhaih hoi oephaih to om ai boeh, tiah ka thuih.
19Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the bitterness.
19Patangkhanghaih hoi raihaih, kakhaa tui hoi kakhaa ahmuet doeh ka pahnet ai vop.
20My soul still remembers them, and is bowed down within me.
20To baktih hmuennawk to ka hinghaih pakhra mah panoek poe moe, ka thung ah angam sut boeh.
21This I recall to my mind; therefore I have hope.
21Palung thungah ka poek poe pongah oephaih ka tawnh.
22It is because of the LORD’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his mercies don’t fail.
22Angraeng amlunghaih loe boeng thai ai, anih mah palungnathaih tawn ai nahaeloe, aicae loe amro tih boeh.
23They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.
23Akhawnbang kruek tahmenhaih kangtha a hnuk o; na oep thohhaih loe paroeai len.
24“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul. “Therefore I will hope in him.”
24Angraeng loe kai ih taham ah oh, tiah ka hinghaih pakhra mah thuih pongah, anih to ka zing han.
25The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.
25Angraeng hoihhaih loe anih oephaih tawn kami, hinghaih pakhra hoi anih pakrong kaminawk khaeah oh.
26It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
26Kami loe Angraeng pahlonghaih to oep moe, zing han hoih.
27It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
27Kami loe thendoeng nathuem ah tok karai sak han hoih.
28Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it on him.
28Anih nuiah hmuen to amtik boeh pongah, angmabueng anghnut moe, anghngai duem han oh.
29Let him put his mouth in the dust, if it is so that there may be hope.
29Oephaih om tih hmang tiah poek nahaeloe, a mikhmai to maiphu pongah akuep nasoe.
30Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him. Let him be filled full of reproach.
30Anih tabaeng kami khaeah tangbaeng patueng pae nasoe loe, ahmin sethaih hoiah koi nasoe.
31For the Lord will not cast off forever.
31Sithaw mah aicae dungzan khoek to vaa mak ai;
32For though he causes grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
32anih mah palungsethaih phaksak, toe paroeai pop anih palungnathaih hoi amlunghaih to amtuengsak let tih.
33For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
33Anih loe kaminawk nuiah palungsethaih hoi amtanghaih phaksak han koeh ai.
34To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
34Long ah thongkrah kaminawk boih khok hoiah cawh moe,
35to turn away the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
35sang koek Sithaw hmaa ah kami mah toenghaih baktiah hnuk han koi hmuen lak pae ving pacoengah,
36to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn’t approve.
36kami mah hnuk han koi hmuen sungsak ving hanah Angraeng mah koeh ai.
37Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn’t command it?
37Angraeng lokpaekhaih om ai ah, mi mah maw a thuih ih lok baktiah angcoengsak thaih?
38Doesn’t evil and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?
38Sang koek Sithaw ih pakha thung hoiah na ai maw kahoih hoi kasae hmuen to angzo hmaek?
39Why should a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
39Kami mah a zaehaih pongah danpaek naah, tipongah kahing kami loe laisaep khing loe?
40Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
40To tiah oh pongah loe a caeh o haih loklam hae pakrong tanoek si loe, Angraeng khaeah amlaem o let si.
41Let’s lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.
41Vannawk ranui ah kaom Sithaw khaeah, ban a payangh o moe, lawk a thuih o naah, poekhaih palungthin doeh anih khaeah paek o si.
42“We have transgressed and have rebelled. You have not pardoned.
42Ka zae o moe, na lok kang aek o moeng boeh; kaicae zaehaih to nang tahmen ai vop.
43“You have covered us with anger and pursued us. You have killed. You have not pitied.
43Palung na phuihaih hoiah nang kraeng khoep moe, nang pacaekthlaek boeh; tahmenhaih tawn ai ah, nang hum boeh.
44You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
44Lawk ka thuih o haih nang khaeah phak han ai ah, nangmah hoi nangmah tamai hoi nang yaw khoep boeh.
45You have made us an off-scouring and refuse in the middle of the peoples.
45Kaminawk salakah anghnoeng baktih, panuet thok hmuen baktiah nang ohsak boeh.
46“All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
46Kaicae ih misa boih mah, pakha ang angh o thuih.
47Terror and the pit have come on us, devastation and destruction.”
47Kaicae nui ah zithaih, amtimhaih, amrohaih hoi anghmat angtaahaih to phak boeh.
48My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
48Kai kami ih canunawk amro o boeh pongah, ka mik hoiah vapui tui to long.
49My eye pours down and doesn’t cease, without any intermission,
49Ka mikkhraetui loe kang ai ah long tih, anghak mak ai,
50until the LORD looks down, and sees from heaven.
50Angraeng mah hnu ai karoek to van hoiah dan tathuk.
51My eye affects my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
51Ka vangpui thung ih canunawk boih pongah, ka mik mah palung ang setsak.
52They have chased me relentlessly like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause.
52Takung om ai ah ka misanawk mah tavaa baktiah ang mee o.
53They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone on me.
53Tangqom thungah ka hinghaih ang boeng o sak moe, ka nuiah thlung ang vah o thuih.
54Waters flowed over my head. I said, “I am cut off.”
54Tui mah ka lu uem naah, ka duek boeh, tiah ka poek.
55I called on your name, LORD, out of the lowest dungeon.
55Aw Angraeng, tangqom thung hoiah na hmin to kang kawk.
56You heard my voice: “Don’t hide your ear from my sighing, and my cry.”
56Ka lok nang thaih pae; ka hamhaih hoi abomhaih kang hnik naah, na naa tamuep ving hmah.
57You came near in the day that I called on you. You said, “Don’t be afraid.”
57Nang kang kawk naah, kai nang hnai thuih moe, zii hmah, tiah nang naa.
58Lord, you have pleaded the causes of my soul. You have redeemed my life.
58Aw Angraeng, ka hing thai hanah tok na sak moe, ka hinghaih pakhra to nang pahlong boeh.
59LORD, you have seen my wrong. Judge my cause.
59Aw Angraeng, ka sakpazaehaih na hnuk boeh; toenghaih hoiah kai lok na caek ah.
60You have seen all their vengeance and all their plans against me.
60Nihcae mah misa ah ang suekhaih hoi a poek o ih hmuen to na hnuk boih boeh.
61You have heard their reproach, LORD, and all their plans against me,
61Aw Angraeng, nihcae kasaethuihaih hoi poekhaihnawk to na thaih boeh.
62the lips of those that rose up against me, and their plots against me all day long.
62Athun qui kai patoem kaminawk hoi kai misa angthawk thuih kaminawk mah thuih ih lok to na thaih boeh.
63You see their sitting down and their rising up. I am their song.
63Nihcae anghnuthaih hoi angthawkhaih to khenah; kai loe nihcae laasak thuih han ih ni ka oh sut boeh.
64You will pay them back, LORD, according to the work of their hands.
64Aw Angraeng, angmacae ban mah sak ih hmuen baktih toengah, nihcae khaeah pathok pae let ah.
65You will give them hardness of heart, your curse to them.
65Nihcae han qahhaih palungthin to paek ah loe, nihcae to tangoeng thuih ah.
66You will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD.
66Palungphuihaih hoiah nihcae to pacaekthlaek hanah, maeto doeh anghmat ai ah Angraeng ih van tlim ah kaom hmuennawk to amrosak boih ah.
