La Bu 146

1 Yahweh Pakai vahchoijun! O kalhagao Yahweh Pakai vahchoi jin!

Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul.

2 Kahin laisea Yahweh Pakai kavahchoi ding, hinna hu kanei laisen ka Pathen Elohim vahchoi la sange.

While I have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody to my God while I have my being.

3 Leng chapate chunga natahsan koi hih'in, hichu panpi bei ahibouve.

Put not your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

4 Mihem chate hu abei teng leisetna akilekit-un leivui akisoh jin, hiche nikho lechun athilgon chengseu toh thi thading ahitauve.

Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.

5 Hinlah apanpi dinga Israel Pathen Elohim neiho, chule Yahweh Pakai, Elohim Pathen a kinepna neiho anunnom ahi.

Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6 Aman van le leiset twikhanglen leh asunga um jouse anasem in, Aman imatih chan'a akitepna achepi jing ahi.

Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:

7 Aman suhgentheija umho thudih'in achungthu atanpeh in, chule agilkel te an apen ahi. Yahweh Pakai in songkul tangho alhadoh'in, achamlhat sah jin ahi.

Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;

8 Yahweh Pakai in mitchoho kho amusah'in, alhu ho aphong ding in, michonpha Yahweh Pakai in angailun ahi.

The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;

9 Yahweh Pakai in gamdang miho ahuhdoh in, Aman meithaiho leh chaga ho akhoton, amavang miphalou ho thilgon asuhbei peh'in ahi.

The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.

10 Yahweh Pakai in tonsotna vai ahomding ahi. O Jerusalem, Amahi akhang akhanga na Pathen hiding ahi. Yahweh Pakai vahchoijun!

The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord.
