Tingtoeng 120

1 Tangtlaeng Laa Kamah kah citcai khuiah BOEIPA te ka khue tih kai n'doo.

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I called out to the Lord for help in all my troubles, and he answered me.

2 BOEIPA aw ka hinglu he laithae hmuilai lamkah neh palyal ol lamloh huul lah.

Lord, please save me from liars and cheats!

3 Palyal ol te nang taengah bahamnim m'paek vetih bahamnim nang taengah hang koei eh?

What will the Lord do to you, you liars? How will he punish you?

4 Hlangrhalh kah thaltang khaw hlingcet alh bangla sum yipkip.

With the sharp arrows of a warrior and burning coals made from a broom tree.

5 Meshek ah ka bakuep tih Kedar dap ah kho ka sak dongah kai ngawn tah ka tuisawih coeng!

I'm sorry for myself, because I live as a foreigner in Meshech, or among the tent-dwellers of Kedar.

6 Rhoepnah aka hmuhuet taengah ka hinglu loh kho puet a sak coeng.

I have lived for far too long among people who hate peace.

7 Kai loh rhoepnah ka thui vaengah amih te caemtloek la thoouh.

I want peace, but when I talk of peace, they want war.
