Saam 121

1 Kasang laa. Naa bang hoiah maw kai bomkung angzo tih? tiah poek hoiah mae bangah ka dan tahang.

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” I lift up mine eyes to the hills: Whence cometh my help?

2 Kai bomkung loe long hoi van sahkung, Angraeng khae hoiah ni ang zoh.

My help cometh from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

3 Anih mah loe na khok to amthaeksak mak ai, nang toepkung loe iih angam mak ai.

He will not suffer thy foot to stumble; Thy guardian doth not slumber.

4 Khenah, Israel toepkung loe iih angam mak ai, iip doeh iip mak ai.

Behold, the guardian of Israel Doth neither slumber nor sleep.

5 Angraeng loe nang toepkung ah oh; Angraeng loe na bantang bangah nang han tahlip paekkung ah oh.

The LORD is thy guardian; The LORD is thy shade at thy right hand.

6 Athun ah ni mah na kangh mak ai, aqum ah doeh khrah mah raihaih na paek mak ai.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night.

7 Angraeng mah kahoih ai hmuen congca thung hoiah na pakaa ueloe, na hinghaih to toep tih.

The LORD will preserve thee from all evil; He will preserve thy life.

8 Angraeng mah na caehhaih hoi nang zohhaih to vaihi hoi dungzan khoek to toep tih.

The LORD will preserve thee, when thou goest out and when thou comest in, From this time forth for ever.
