Saam 121

1 Hana kawng nu kai anik bawmkung a law lah kaw? Ti nyng tlang benna mik hak dai nyng –

A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?

2 Kai anik bawmkung taw dek ingkaw khan ak saikung, Bawipa venna kawng ni a law.

My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 Anih ing na khaw ce am ning bah sak kawmsaw – nang anik khoemkung ce am ngam tikaw;

He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.

4 oeih, Israel ak khoemkung ce am ngam kawmsaw ip awm am ip kaw.

Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 Bawipa ing nang ce ni qeh hy – Bawipa taw nak tang ben awh nang anik chungkung na awm hy;

The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.

6 khawnghyp awh khawmik ing amni eng kawmsaw, khawmthan awh pihla ing amni eng bai kaw.

The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.

7 Bawipa ing nganbawh soepkep khui awhkawng ni khoem kawmsaw – na hqingnaak ce khoem law kaw;

The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.

8 Bawipa ing na lawnaak ingkaw na cehnaak boeih awh tuh kawng kumqui dy ni qeh loet kaw.

The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
