Saam 121

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

A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?

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

My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

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

He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.

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

Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.

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

Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,

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

By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.

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

Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.

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

Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
