¹TOUPA aw, ka thumna ngaikhia inla, ka kikou husa na kiang tung hen.

¹Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you.

²Ka mangbat niin ka lakah na mai sel kenla: kei lamah na bil hondohin; ka honsap hun chiangin hondawng pahin.

²Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.

³Ka damsung nite meikhu bangin a jam manga, ka guhte tuh taptung bangin a saa.

³For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a torch.

⁴Ka lungtang tuh loupa bangin hailumin a oma, a vuai zouta hi; ann nek leng ka mangngilhta ngala.

⁴My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.

⁵Ka thum husa jiakin ka guhte tuh ka sa ah a belh bikbek ahi.

⁵By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin.

⁶Gamdai tuivapi bang ka hi a: kho tul simbu bang phet ka na hita hi.

⁶I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.

⁷Ka hak gige a, kawlgit in tunga amah kiaa om bang ka na hita hi.

⁸Hondouten nitumin hon gensia ua: ka tunga hangsanten keimah banga om dingin hamsia a lou nak uhi.

⁸My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.

⁹Vut tuh an bangin ka ne a, ka dawn dingin khitui toh ka helta ngala.

⁹For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,

¹⁰Na lunghih louh mahmah leh na heh jiakin: nang non dom kanga, na honpai mangta ngala.

¹⁰Because of your indignation and your wrath, for you have taken me up, and thrown me away.

¹¹Ka damsung nite tuh limliap kiam bang ahi a; loupa bangin ka vuaita hi.

¹¹My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.

¹²TOUPA aw, nang bel khantawnin na om dinga; nangmah theihgigena leng suan tengteng phain a om lai ding hi.

¹²But you, Yahweh, will remain forever; your renown endures to all generations.

¹³Na thou dinga, Zion tang tuh na hehpih dinga: amah lah hehpih a hunta ngala, ahi, hun seh tuh a tungta hi.

¹³You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for it is time to have pity on her. Yes, the set time has come.

¹⁴Na sikhaten a suangte a it un, a leivui leng a hehpih ngal uhi.

¹⁴For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity on her dust.

¹⁵Huchiin nam chihin TOUPA mintuh a lau ding ua, leia kumpipate tengtengin na thupina leng a lau ding uhi.

¹⁵So the nations will fear the name of Yahweh; all the kings of the earth your glory.

¹⁶TOUPAN Zion khua dingsakta ngala, a thupina kithuamin a kimuta hi;

¹⁶For Yahweh has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory.

¹⁷Tagahte thumna tuh a limsaka, a thumna uh a musit kei hi.

¹⁷He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.

¹⁸Huai tuh khangthak hongom ding adingin gelh ahi dinga: nam siama hongom di in TOUPA tuh a phat ding.

¹⁸This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise Yah.

¹⁹Aman a mun siangthou sangpi akipanin a en suka; TOUPAN van akipanin lei a mu a;

¹⁹For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth;

²⁰Suangkulhtang thum ngaikhe ding leh, si dinga sehte sut dingin;

²⁰to hear the groans of the prisoner; to free those who are condemned to death;

²¹Huchi-a miten Ziona TOUPA min tuh a genthang ua, Jerusalema a phatna tuh a genthang theihna ding un.

²¹that men may declare the name of Yahweh in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

²²Mite a kikhawm khawm ua, lalgamte toh, TOUPA nasem ding in.

²²when the peoples are gathered together, the kingdoms, to serve Yahweh.

²³Aman lam lakah ka tha a bahsaka; ka damsung tuh a hihtom hi.

²³He weakened my strength along the course. He shortened my days.

²⁴Ka Pathian aw, ka hatlai nite khawngin honla mang ken, ka chia: nang kum tuh suan om sung tengtengin a om ding hi.

²⁴I said, “My God, don’t take me away in the midst of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.

²⁵Leitung kingakna tuh nidanga na phum sa ahi a; vante leng na khutsuak ahi.

²⁵Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.

²⁶Huaite tuh a hongmang dinga, nangjaw na om tawntung ding hi: ahi, huai tengteng tuh puansilh bangin a honglui dinga; puan bangin na khek dinga, a honglamdangta ding hi.

²⁶They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.

²⁷Nang jaw na ngeingeia, na kumten bei ni himhim a neikei ding.Na sikhate tate tuh a om gige ding ua, a suangte uh na maah hihkipin a om ding uhi.

²⁷But you are the same. Your years will have no end.

²⁸Na sikhate tate tuh a om gige ding ua, a suangte uh na maah hihkipin a om ding uhi.

²⁸The children of your servants will continue. Their seed will be established before you.”
