< Sam 114 >
1 Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Isarel hah Izip ram hoi a rasa teh, Jakop imthung hah lawk phunlouk koehoi a tâcokhai awh toteh,
When Israel came forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2 Judah teh hmuen kathoung lah a coung. Isarel teh uknae lah a coung.
Judah was his sanctuary, And Israel his dominion.
3 Talîpui ni a hmu teh a yawng, Jordan palang teh a ban.
The sea beheld, and fled; The Jordan turned back.
4 Monnaw teh tutan patetlah, monruinaw teh tuca patetlah a coukdouk awh.
The mountains skipped like rams, And the hills like lambs.
5 Oe talîpui bangdawkmaw na yawng, Oe Jordan palang, bangdawkmaw na ban.
What aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?
6 Oe monnaw bangdawkmaw tutan patetlah na coukdouk. Oe monruinaw bangdawkmaw tuca patetlah na coukdouk awh.
Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, And ye hills like lambs?
7 Oe talai, BAWIPA hmalah pâyaw nateh, Jakop Cathut hmalah pâyaw haw.
Tremble, O earth! at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 Ama teh, lungsong hah tuikamuem lah, lungtaw hah tuiphuek lah kacoungsakkung doeh.
Who turned the rock into a standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!
