La Bu 120

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

A Song of Ascents. In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.

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

Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a 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 will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

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

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

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

Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell amongst the tents of Kedar!

6 Keima chamna deilah'a kachenhi kakhoplheh jengtai,

My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates 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.
