Tingtoeng 124

1 David kah Tangtlaeng Laa Israel loh, “Mamih ham BOEIPA te om pawt koinih,” ti laeh saeh.

A Song of Ascents. David’s. If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, oh might Israel say:

2 Hlang loh mamih taengah a tlai vaengah mamih ham BOEIPA om pawt koinih;

If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

3 Mamih taengah a thintoek neh a sai vaengah mamih he a hingsai n'dolh uh ni.

Then, alive, had they swallowed us up, in the glow of their anger against us;

4 Tui loh mamih n'yo vetih soklong loh mamih hinglu he a kawt pawn ni.

Then, the waters, had whelmed us, the torrent, gone over our soul;

5 Lungpok tui loh mamih kah hinglu a et ni.

Then, had gone over our soul the waters so proud!

6 Amih no dongah maeh la mamih aka tloeng pawh BOEIPA te a yoethen pai saeh.

Blessed, be Yahweh, who gave us not as prey to 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, as a bird, hath escaped from the snare of the fowlers, The snare, is broken, and, we, are escaped:

8 Vaan neh diklai aka saii BOEIPA ming dongah mamih bomkung om.

Our help, is in the Name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
