Tingtoeng 84
1 Aka mawt ham Korah Koca rhoek kah Gittith Rhotoeng Tingtoenglung Caempuei BOEIPA namah kah tolhmuen tah, lungnah kap tloe pai o!
For the leader. On the gittith. Of the Korahites, a psalm. How dearly loved is the place where you live, Lord of hosts!
2 BOEIPA kah vongup te ka hinglu loh a ngaidam tih thana sut. Ka lungbuei neh ka pumsa loh aka hing Pathen te a tamhoe thil.
How I long and yearn for the courts of the Lord. Now heart and flesh cry for joy to the living God.
3 Ka manghai neh ka Pathen, caempuei BOEIPA mamah kah hmueihtuk taengah vaa long pataeng im a hmuh tih pumpil loh amah vapuel ham bu a khueh pah.
Even the sparrow has found her a home and the swallow a nest, to lay her young, near your altar, Lord of hosts, my king and my God.
4 Nang im kah kho aka sa rhoek a yoethen pai tih, namah te rhawp n'thangthen uh. (Selah)
Happy those who live in your house, praising you evermore. (Selah)
5 Nang dongah a sarhi aka khueh tih, a thinko ah longpuei aka khui hlang tah a yoethen.
Happy those whose strength is in you, people with pilgrim hearts.
6 Baca kol ah aka pongpa loh tuisih a khueh tih, lobah yoethennah khaw a buem.
As they pass through the valley of tears, they make it a place of fountains, clothed with the blessings of early rain.
7 Tha dueng khui lamkah thadueng neh cet uh. Zion kah Pathen hmaiah phoe.
From rampart to rampart on they march, till at last God reveals himself in Zion.
8 Ka thangthuinah he caempuei Pathen BOEIPA loh ya saeh lamtah, Jakob Pathen loh hnatun saeh. (Selah)
Lord, God of hosts, hear my prayer, attend, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Pathen aw kaimih kah photling he hmu lamtah na koelh hlang kah maelhmai khaw paelki lah.
Behold, O God, our defender, and look upon your anointed,
10 Na vongup khuikah hnin at he khohnin thawngkhat lakah then. Ka Pathen im kah thohka tawt he, halangnah dap kah om lakah ka ngaih.
for better a single day in your courts than a thousand in my own chambers: better stand at the door of the house of my God than live in the tents of ungodliness,
11 BOEIPA Pathen tah khomik neh photling la om. Mikdaithen neh thangpomnah he khaw BOEIPA loh a paek. Cuemthuek dongah aka pongpa taengah hnothen a hloh pah moenih.
for the Lord is sun and shield, the Lord gives grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from the life that is blameless.
12 Caempuei BOEIPA namah dongah, aka pangtung hlang tah a yoethen pai.
Lord of hosts, happy those whose trust is in you.
