La Bu 120

1 Lungkhamna leh lunggimna kato tengleh Pakai kom kalhutjin ahileh Aman kataona asangjin ahi.

A Song of degrees. In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.

2 O Pakai mijouhoa konleh milepchehoa kon in neihuhdoh’in.

Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.

3 Oh lepchena leigui manchaho, Pathen in nangho ipi nalouvintem? Aman nachunga engbolna ichan gei in apunsahbe dem?

What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

4 Nangma thalchang hemtah a nakisunding chuleh meihol sapehpoh nakidesahding ahi.

Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.

5 Gamlatah Meshach lah’a kachenchu kadanave, gamlatah Kedar ponbuh a kachenchu kathohlel ngeije,

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 Keima chamna deilah’a kachenhi kakhoplheh jengtai,

My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.

7 Keiman chamna kahol in, ahinlah keiman chamna thu kaseipou pouleh amahon gal bou adeijiu ve.

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