La Bu 124

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

A song of ascents. Of David. “Had it not been the Lord who was for us” let Israel say

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

“Had it not been the Lord who was for us when enemies rose against us,

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

then alive they’d have swallowed us up, when their anger was kindled against us.

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

Then the waters would’ve swept us away, and the torrent passed over us clean:

5 Hitiachu ichunguva twipi kitoltol ding ahiuve.

then most sure would’ve passed over us clean the wild seething waters.”

6 Igalmiteu einasuhmang sah louva Yahweh Pakai chu thangvahna peuhite.

Blest be the Lord who has given us not to be torn by their teeth.

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

We are like a bird just escaped from the snare of the fowler. 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 the name of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.
