1 Kaicae khaeah na ai, Aw Angraeng, kaicae khaeah na ai, na palungnathaih hoi na loktang lok pongah, na hmin lensawkhaih to om nasoe.
Not to us, O YHWH, not to us, But to Your Name give glory, For Your kindness, for Your truth.
2 Tipongah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah, Nihcae ih Sithaw loe naa ah maw oh tiah thuih o loe?
Why do the nations say, “Where, pray, [is] their God?”
3 Aicae ih Sithaw loe van ah oh; anih loe a koeh baktiah hmuennawk to sak.
And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He has pleased He has done.
4 Nihcae ih krang loe kami ban hoiah sak ih sumkanglung hoi sui ah ni oh.
Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man’s hands,
5 Nihcae loe pakha tawnh o, toe lok apae o thai ai; mik a tawnh o, toe hnu o thai ai;
They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,
6 naa a tawnh o, toe thaih o thai ai, hnah doeh a tawnh o, toe ahmui thaih o thai ai;
They have ears, and they do not hear, They have a nose, and they do not smell,
7 ban a tawnh o, toe sui o thai ai; khok a tawnh o, toe caeh o thai ai; taaw hoiah lokthui o thai ai.
Their hands, but they do not handle, Their feet, and they do not walk;
8 Krang sah kaminawk loe krang hoiah anghmong o, krang oephaih tawn kaminawk doeh krang baktiah ni oh o.
Nor do they mutter through their throat, Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
9 Aw Israel imthung takoh, Angraeng to oep ah; anih loe nangcae bomkung hoi angvaenghaih ah oh.
O Israel, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
10 Aaron imthung takoh, Angraeng to oep oh, anih loe nihcae bomkung hoi abuephaih ah oh.
O house of Aaron, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
11 Anih zii kaminawk, Angraeng to oep oh; anih loe nihcae bomkung hoi abuephaih ah oh.
You fearing YHWH, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
12 Angraeng mah aicae pahnet mak ai; aicae hanah angmah ih tahamhoihaih to paek tih: Israel imthung takoh to tahamhoihaih paek ueloe, Aaron imthung takoh doeh tahamhoihhaih paek tih.
YHWH has remembered us, He blesses, He blesses the house of Israel, He blesses the house of Aaron,
13 Kathoeng doeh kalen doeh, Angraeng zii kaminawk loe anih mah tahamhoihaih to paek tih.
He blesses those fearing YHWH, The small with the great.
14 Angraeng mah nangmah hoi na caanawk to pungsak aep nasoe.
YHWH adds to you—to you and to your sons.
15 Van hoi long sahkung Angraeng mah tahamhoihhaih paek nasoe.
Blessed [are] you of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,
16 Van hoi vannawk loe Angraeng ih ni; toe long loe kaminawk khaeah a paek boeh.
The heavens—the heavens [are] YHWH’s, And He has given the earth to sons of men;
17 Angqai krang ahmuen ah caeh tathuk, kadueh kaminawk loe Angraeng to saphaw o vai ai.
The dead do not praise YAH, Nor any going down to silence.
18 Toe kaicae loe vaihi hoi dungzan khoek to Angraeng tahamhoihaih ka paek o han. Angraeng to saphaw oh.
And we, we bless YAH, From now on, and for all time. Praise YAH!
