< Tingtoeng 124 >
1 David kah Tangtlaeng Laa Israel loh, “Mamih ham BOEIPA te om pawt koinih,” ti laeh saeh.
A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:
2 Hlang loh mamih taengah a tlai vaengah mamih ham BOEIPA om pawt koinih;
if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,
3 Mamih taengah a thintoek neh a sai vaengah mamih he a hingsai n'dolh uh ni.
perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,
4 Tui loh mamih n'yo vetih soklong loh mamih hinglu he a kawt pawn ni.
perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.
5 Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.
Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.
6 Amih no dongah maeh la mamih aka tloeng pawh BOEIPA te a yoethen pai saeh.
Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.
7 Mamih kah hinglu tah vaa bangla pael neh a hlaeh khui lamloh loeih. Pael te rhek tih mamih n'loeih uh.
Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.
8 Vaan neh diklai aka saii BOEIPA ming dongah mamih bomkung om.
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
