Saam 128

1 Kasang laa. Angraeng to zit moe, anih ih loklam pazui kaminawk boih loe tahamhoih.

“A song of the degrees.” Happy is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh in his ways.

2 Na toksakhaih athaih to na caa tih; anghoehaih hoi khosakhoihaih doeh na tawn tih.

When thou eatest the labor of thy hands: [then] wilt thou be happy, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Na zu loe na imtaeng ih kathai parai misurkung baktiah om ueloe, na caanawk loe na caboi taengah kaom olive tadoknawk baktiah om o tih.

Thy wife is [then] as a fruitful vine in the recesses of thy house: thy children, like olive-plants round about thy table.

4 Khenah, Angraeng zii kami loe to tiah om tih.

Behold, truly thus shall be blessed the man that feareth the Lord.

5 Angraeng mah Zion hoiah tahamhoihaih na paek ueloe, na hing thungah Jerusalem tahamhoihaih to na hnu tih.

May the Lord bless thee out of Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 Ue, na caanawk ih caa patoeng doeh na hnu tih, Israel nuiah monghaih om nasoe.

And see thou thy children's children: may there be peace upon Israel.
