La Bu 124

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

A Song of Ascents. David’s. If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, oh might Israel say:

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

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

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

Then, alive, had they swallowed us up, in the glow of their anger against us;

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

Then, the waters, had whelmed us, the torrent, gone over our soul;

5 Hitiachu ichunguva twipi kitoltol ding ahiuve.

Then, had gone over our soul the waters so proud!

6 Igalmiteu einasuhmang sah louva Yahweh Pakai chu thangvahna peuhite.

Blessed, be Yahweh, who gave us not 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, as a bird, hath escaped from 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 Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
