La Bu 123

1 Van a alaltouna a tou O ka Pathen Elohim nangma munomna in kadah'in kahinvei.

A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to you, who dwells in the heavens.

2 Sohten amit uva apupao avetjing bangun Yahweh Pakai, iPathen'u Elohim khotona ngaichan keihon kahin vejing ui. Hiti hin soh nungah honjong api'u chaloh akivetgeu jingun ahi.

Behold, as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, as the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress, so our eyes are upon the Lord our God, until he may be merciful to us.

3 Yahweh Pakai ka chung u vah khotona neipeuvin ajeh chu keiho hi vetda changsa ka hiuve.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us. For we have been filled with utter disdain.

4 Ajeh chu keihohi mi kiletsahho housetna leh mikhoh ho tai tomnan eichupmu ahitai.

For our soul has been greatly filled. We are the disgrace of those who have abundance and the disdain of the arrogant.
