La Bu 124

1 Yahweh Pakai hi eiho langa anapanglou hikhataleh? Israelte jousen velseikit hen.

A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:

2 Min eina delkhum pettah'un Yahweh Pakai hi eiho langa anapanglou hikhataleh,

if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,

3 amahon alunghan u deojah pum in ahingin eina vallhum tauvinte.

perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,

4 Twi chun einachup uvintin, twikhanglen chun einalhohmang diu ahitai.

perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

5 Hitiachu ichunguva twipi kitoltol ding ahiuve.

Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.

6 Igalmiteu einasuhmang sah louva Yahweh Pakai chu thangvahna peuhite.

Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.

7 Eiho thang kampa a kon a vacha ahoidoh banga hoidoh ihiuve. Thangpou chu akivobong tan eiho ihoidoh tauve.

Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.

8 Hitobanga kithopina chu vanle lei sem ah Yahweh Pakai a kon a imu'u ahi.

Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
