La Bu 120

1 Lungkham na leh lung gim na kato tengleh Yahweh Pakai kom kalhutjin ahileh Aman kataona asangjin ahi.

“A psalm of steps.” In my distress I called upon the LORD, And he answered me.

2 O Yahweh Pakai in mijoubol ho a konleh milepche ho a kon in neihuhdoh'in.

O LORD! deliver me from lying lips, From the deceitful tongue!

3 Oh lepchena leigui mangcha ho, Elohim Pathen in nangho ipi na louvin tem? Aman nachunga engbolna ichan gei in apunsahbe dem?

What profit to thee, Or what advantage to thee, is the false tongue?

4 Nangma thalchang hemtah a naki sunding chuleh meihol sapehpoh naki desah ding ahi.

It is like the sharp arrows of the mighty man; Like coals of the juniper.

5 Gamlatah Meshach lah'a ka chenchu kadanave, gamlatah Kedar ponbuh a ka chenchu ka thohlel ngeije,

Alas for me, that I sojourn in Mesech, That I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

6 Keima chamna deilah'a kachenhi kakhoplheh jengtai,

Too long have I 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; yet, when I speak for it, They are for war.
