Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
1Kai tah a thinpom caitueng dongkah phacipphabaem aka hmu hlang ni.
2He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.
2Kai te m'hmaithawn tih hmaisuep ah n'caeh sak vaengah vangnah om pawh.
3Surely he turns his hand against me again and again all day long.
3Kai taengah a tloeng tangloeng tih khohnin yung ah a kut a hluem.
4He has made my flesh and my skin old. He has broken my bones.
4Ka vin neh ka saa a hmawn sak tih ka rhuh a paep sak.
5He has built against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
5Kai he rhahalung n'suem thil tih sue neh bongboepnah te m'ven thil.
6He has made me dwell in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
6Ka khosak he khosuen kah aka duek bangla khohmuep ah ka om.
7He has walled me about, so that I can’t go out. He has made my chain heavy.
7Kai taengah khoep a biing tih ka rhohum loh n'nan he ka loeih pawh.
8Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.
8Ka khue tih ka pang vaengah pataeng ka thangthuinah te a toeng.
9He has walled up my ways with cut stone. He has made my paths crooked.
9Lungrhaih neh ka longpuei a biing tih ka hawn a paihaeh sak.
10He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in hiding.
10Kai taengah tah vom neh sathueng pataeng a huephael kah sathueng bangla amah rhongngol coeng.
11He has turned away my path, and pulled me in pieces. He has made me desolate.
11Ka longpuei ah m'phaelh sak tih kai n'soek dongah kai aka pong la n'khueh.
12He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
12A lii a phuk tih thaltang ham kutnoek la kai n'tai.
13He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys.
13Anih kah liva ca loh ka kuel khuila pawlh.
14I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all day long.
14Ka pilnam pum kah nueihbu neh khohnin yung ah amih kah rhotoeng la ka poeh.
15He has filled me with bitterness. He has stuffed me with wormwood.
15Ankhaa te kai ng'kum sak tih pantong neh kai m'hmilhmal sak.
16He has also broken my teeth with gravel. He has covered me with ashes.
16Ka no he lungcang neh a mawth tih hmaiphu khuiah kai m'vuei.
17You have removed my soul far away from peace. I forgot prosperity.
17Ka hinglu he ngaimongnah lamloh a hlahpham tih a then khaw ka hnilh.
18I said, “My strength has perished, along with my expectation from the LORD.”
18Te dongah kai kah hmailong neh BOEIPA lamkah ka ngaiuepnah khaw paltham coeng ka ti.
19Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the bitterness.
19Kai kah phaiphabaem neh ka airhoeng khaw, ka pantong neh ka anrhat khaw poek lah.
20My soul still remembers them, and is bowed down within me.
20A poek a poek vaengah ka khuikah ka hinglu tah tlayae la tlayae coeng.
21This I recall to my mind; therefore I have hope.
21He he ka ngaiuep dongah ni ka lungbuei he ka mael puei.
22It is because of the LORD’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his mercies don’t fail.
22BOEIPA kah sitlohnah tah bawt pawt tih a haidamnah khaw muei pawh.
23They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.
23Mincang ah na uepomnah thai khaw ping.
24“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul. “Therefore I will hope in him.”
24Ka hinglu loh, “BOEIPA tah ka khoyo ni,” a ti dongah amah te ka ngaiuep van.
25The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.
25BOEIPA tah amah aka lamtawn ham neh amah aka toem hinglu ham a then pah.
26It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
26BOEIPA kah loeihnah dongah tah rhingoel ngolsut ham khaw then.
27It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
27A camoe vaengah hnamkun a phueih te ni hlang ham khaw then.
28Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it on him.
28Amah soah a poeh bangla amah bueng khosa saeh lamtah kuemsuem saeh.
29Let him put his mouth in the dust, if it is so that there may be hope.
29A ka te laipi khuiah vuei saeh lamtah ngaiuepnah a om khaming.
30Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him. Let him be filled full of reproach.
30Amah aka ngawn ham a kam duen pah saeh lamtah kokhahnah neh kum saeh.
31For the Lord will not cast off forever.
31Ka Boeipa loh kumhal duela a hlahpham ngawn moenih.
32For though he causes grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
32Pae sak bal mai cakhaw a sitlohnah dongkah sitlohnah a khawk vanbangla a haidam bitni.
33For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
33Hlang ca te a lungbuei a phaep pah tih a pae sak bal moenih.
34To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
34Khohmuen kah thongtla boeih te a kho hmuiah a phop ham,
35to turn away the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
35Khohni kah mikhmuh ah hlang kah tiktamnah hnawt ham,
36to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn’t approve.
36A tuituknah neh hlang a khun sak ham khaw ka Boeipa loh a hmuh ngaih moenih.
37Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn’t command it?
37Ka Boeipa loh a uen pawt te om ni tila unim aka thui thai.
38Doesn’t evil and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?
38A thae neh a then khaw Khohni ka lamloh thoeng pawt nim.
39Why should a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
39A tholhnah sokah a tholhnah yuvat ah balae tih tongpa hlang hing loh a kohuet mai eh.
40Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
40Mamih kah longpuei he phuelhthaih tih n'khe phoeiah BOEIPA taengla mael uh sih.
41Let’s lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.
41Mamih kah thinko neh kut he vaan kah Pathen taengah phuel uh sih.
42“We have transgressed and have rebelled. You have not pardoned.
42Kaimih kah boekoek neh nang kan koek uh te khodawk nan ngai uh moenih.
43“You have covered us with anger and pursued us. You have killed. You have not pitied.
43Thintoek neh na cun uh vaengah kaimih nan hloem tih lungma ti kolla nan ngawn.
44You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
44Thangthuinah neh paan ham khaw namah te cingmai neh na cun uh.
45You have made us an off-scouring and refuse in the middle of the peoples.
45Kaimih he pilnam lakli ah yun-aek neh kawnhnawt la nan khueh.
46“All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
46Ka thunkha boeih loh kaimih taengah a ka a ang uh.
47Terror and the pit have come on us, devastation and destruction.”
47Birhihnah neh rhom khaw kaimih taengah omdamnah neh pocinah la thoeng.
48My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
48Ka pilnam nu kah a pocinah dongah ka mik he sokca tui la long.
49My eye pours down and doesn’t cease, without any intermission,
49Ka mik loh a hawk vetih a bawtnah om pawt hil kak mahpawh.
50until the LORD looks down, and sees from heaven.
50A dan neh BOEIPA loh vaan lamkah a hmuh duela.
51My eye affects my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
51Ka khopuei tanu boeih kongah ka mik loh ka hinglu he a poelyoe.
52They have chased me relentlessly like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause.
52Lunglilungla maila kai he ka thunkha rhoek loh vaa bangla m'mae khaw m'mae uh mai.
53They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone on me.
53Ka hingnah te tangrhom ah a det uh kai taengah lungto a omtoem thil.
54Waters flowed over my head. I said, “I am cut off.”
54Ka lu he tui loh a et vaengah tah n'tuiphih muema ka ti.
55I called on your name, LORD, out of the lowest dungeon.
55BOEIPA na ming te tangrhom laedil lamloh kang khue.
56You heard my voice: “Don’t hide your ear from my sighing, and my cry.”
56Ka hilhoemnah ham ka pang te hna na buem pawt dongah ka ol na yaak coeng.
57You came near in the day that I called on you. You said, “Don’t be afraid.”
57Namah kang khue khohnin ah na mop tih, “Rhih boeh,” na ti.
58Lord, you have pleaded the causes of my soul. You have redeemed my life.
58Ka hinglu kah tuituknah khaw ka Boeipa loh na rhoe tih ka hingnah na tlan.
59LORD, you have seen my wrong. Judge my cause.
59BOEIPA aw ka lolhmaihnah na hmuh cakhaw ka laitloeknah dongah n'tang sak lah.
60You have seen all their vengeance and all their plans against me.
60Kai soah amih kah tawnlohnah boeih neh amih kah kopoek boeih te na hmuh.
61You have heard their reproach, LORD, and all their plans against me,
61BOEIPA aw kai soah amih kah kokhahnah neh amih kah kopoek boeih te na yaak coeng.
62the lips of those that rose up against me, and their plots against me all day long.
62Khohnin yung ah a phungding ol neh kamah taengah kai m'pai thil uh.
63You see their sitting down and their rising up. I am their song.
63A hoepnah neh a painah ah, amih kah hnaelnah ni ka paelki.
64You will pay them back, LORD, according to the work of their hands.
64BOEIPA aw, amih kut dongkah khoboe neh a tiing la amih te thuung lah.
65You will give them hardness of heart, your curse to them.
65Amih te lungbuei kotalh la khueh lamtah na tapvoepnah te amih soah thoeng sak.
66You will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD.
66BOEIPA aw thintoek te na hloem dongah ni amih te vaan hmui lamloh na mitmoeng sak.
