La Bu 124

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us (Pray, let Israel say),

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

If YHWH had not been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

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

Then they had swallowed us alive, In the burning of their anger against us,

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

Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

5 Hitiachu ichunguva twipi kitoltol ding ahiuve.

Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

6 Igalmiteu einasuhmang sah louva Yahweh Pakai chu thangvahna peuhite.

Blessed [is] YHWH who has not given us, [As] 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 has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

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

Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth!
