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 Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy 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 hath pleased He hath 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;
A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
6 naa a tawnh o, toe thaih o thai ai, hnah doeh a tawnh o, toe ahmui thaih o thai ai;
Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,
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 handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
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, Like them are their makers, Every one 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 Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
10 Aaron imthung takoh, Angraeng to oep oh, anih loe nihcae bomkung hoi abuephaih ah oh.
O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
11 Anih zii kaminawk, Angraeng to oep oh; anih loe nihcae bomkung hoi abuephaih ah oh.
Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
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.
Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,
13 Kathoeng doeh kalen doeh, Angraeng zii kaminawk loe anih mah tahamhoihaih to paek tih.
He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.
14 Angraeng mah nangmah hoi na caanawk to pungsak aep nasoe.
Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
15 Van hoi long sahkung Angraeng mah tahamhoihhaih paek nasoe.
Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
16 Van hoi vannawk loe Angraeng ih ni; toe long loe kaminawk khaeah a paek boeh.
The heavens — the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,
17 Angqai krang ahmuen ah caeh tathuk, kadueh kaminawk loe Angraeng to saphaw o vai ai.
The dead praise not Jah, 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 Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
