Tingtoeng 120

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

A song of ascents. In my distress I called out to Yahweh, and he answered me.

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

Rescue my life, Yahweh, from those who lie with their lips and deceive with their tongues.

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

How will he punish you, and what more will he do to you, you who have a lying tongue?

4 Hlangrhalh kah thaltang khaw hlingcet alh bangla sum yipkip.

He will punish you with the arrows of a warrior sharpened over burning coals of the broom tree.

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

Woe is me because I temporarily live in Meshech; I lived previously among the tents of Kedar.

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

For too long I have lived with those who hate peace.

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

I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
