Sam 112

1 Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh BAWIPA teh pholen awh. BAWIPA ka taketnaw hoi kâpoelawknaw a lung kahawikhai katang e teh a yaw kahawi e doeh.

Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

2 A catounnaw ni talai van a thao awh vaiteh, tami kalannaw e catounnaw teh a yawhawi awh han.

Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

3 A im vah hnopai a tawnta awh vaiteh, a lannae teh a yungyoe a kangning han.

Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

4 Tami kalan hanelah teh hmonae koehoi angnae a tâco teh, ama teh pahrennae lungmanae, lannae hoi ka kawi e lah ao.

Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

5 Tami kahawi niteh, pahrennae lahoi a cawi sak teh, ama teh ka lan lah kho a sak han.

Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

6 Khoeroe kâhuen mahoeh. Tami kalan teh panue e lah pou ao han.

For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

7 Kamthang kahawihoehe ni taket sak mahoeh. BAWIPA a kâuep teh a lungthin a cak.

Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

8 A lungthin caksak lah ao dawkvah, a tarannaw koe a ngai e a pha totouh, taket mahoeh.

Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

9 Lungthocalah hoi a rei teh, karoedengnaw hah a poe toe. A lannae teh a yungyoe a kangning. A ki teh barinae lahoi tawm lah ao han.

He hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

10 Tamikathoutnaw ni hmawt awh vaiteh, a lungkhuek awh han. A hâkam kata awh vaiteh, koung atum pouh han. Tamikathoutnaw e ngainae teh koung a kahma pouh han.

The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
