La Bu 124

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

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

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

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

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

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

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

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5 Hitiachu ichunguva twipi kitoltol ding ahiuve.

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Igalmiteu einasuhmang sah louva Yahweh Pakai chu thangvahna peuhite.

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

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

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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.
