< La Bu 146 >
1 Yahweh Pakai vahchoijun! O kalhagao Yahweh Pakai vahchoi jin!
Hallelujah. Praise, O my soul, the Lord.
2 Kahin laisea Yahweh Pakai kavahchoi ding, hinna hu kanei laisen ka Pathen Elohim vahchoi la sange.
I will praise the Lord throughout my life: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3 Leng chapate chunga natahsan koi hih' in, hichu panpi bei ahibouve.
Put not your trust in princes, in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 Mihem chate hu abeiteng leisetna akilekit-un leivui akisoh jin, hiche nikho lechun athilgon chengseu toh thi thading ahitauve.
When his spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his [native] earth: on that very day perish his thoughts.
5 Hinlah apanpi dinga Israel Pathen Elohim neiho, chule Yahweh Pakai, Elohim Pathen a kinepna neiho anunnom ahi.
[But] happy is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is on 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 hath made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that is therein; who keepeth truth 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 executeth justice for the oppressed: who giveth bread to the hungry: the Lord looseneth the prisoners;
8 Yahweh Pakai in mitchoho kho amusah' in, alhu ho aphong ding in, michonpha Yahweh Pakai in angailun ahi.
The Lord causeth the blind to see; the Lord raiseth up those who are bowed down; the Lord loveth the righteous:
9 Yahweh Pakai in gamdang miho ahuhdoh in, Aman meithaiho leh chaga ho akhoton, amavang miphalou ho thilgon asuhbei peh' in ahi.
The Lord guardeth the strangers; the fatherless and widow he helpeth up; but the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.
10 Yahweh Pakai in tonsotna vai ahomding ahi. O Jerusalem, Amahi akhang akhanga na Pathen hiding ahi. Yahweh Pakai vahchoijun!
The Lord will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.
