Tingtoeng 129

1 Tangtlaeng Laa Ka camoe lamloh kai mat n'daengdaeh he Israel loh thui laeh saeh.

Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.

2 Ka camoe lamloh kai he mat n'daengdaeh uh dae kai he n'noeng moenih.

Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.

3 Ka uen soah a thoe a thoe uh tih a hma sokah a hma te a yoe uh.

The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.

4 Aka dueng BOEIPA loh halang rhoek kah rhuivaeh te a tlueh pah.

The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:

5 Zion aka thiinah rhoek boeih tah yahpok uh saeh lamtah a hnuk la balkhong uh saeh.

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.

6 Imphu kah sulrham bangla om saeh. Te tah amah hmuen ah a rhae la a phuk.

Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:

7 Te te a ah tih a ban neh a kulup akhaw a kutpha dongah a bae moenih.

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.

8 Te vaengah aka kongpa rhoek loh, “Nangmih soah BOEIPA kah yoethennah om saeh. BOEIPA ming neh nangmih te yoethen kan paek uh,” ti uh boel saeh.

And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
