Tingtoeng 125

1 Tangtlaeng Laa BOEIPA dongah aka pangtung rhoek tah Zion tlang bangla, kumhal ah tuen pawt tih ngol.

A song of ascents. Those who trust in Yahweh are like Mount Zion, unshakable, forever enduring.

2 Jerusalem kaepvai kah tlang rhoek tah amah ham coeng ni. Te dongah BOEIPA tah a pilnam a kaepvai ah, tahae lamkah neh kumhal duela om.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people now and forever.

3 Halangnah mancai loh aka dueng rhoek kah hmulung te naan boel saeh. Te daengah ni aka dueng loh a kut te dumlai la a hlah pawt eh.

The scepter of wickedness must not rule in the land of the righteous. Otherwise the righteous might do what is wrong.

4 BOEIPA aw aka then taeng neh, a lungbuei ah aka thuem taengah tah hlampan pah.

Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good and to those who are upright in their hearts.

5 Tedae BOEIPA aw, amih a kael la aka mael rhoek neh boethae aka saii te a tueih ni. Israel soah rhoepnah om saeh.

But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the evildoers. May peace be on Israel.
