La Bu 124

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

[A Song of Ascents. By David.] If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,

2 Min eina delkhum pettah’un 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 would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

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

then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

5 Hitia chu ichunguva twipi kitoltol ding ahiuve.

then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

6 Igalmiteu einasuhmangsah louva Pakai chu thangvahna peuhite.

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

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

Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 Hitobanga kithopina chu van le lei sem ah Pakai a kon a imu’u ahi.

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