Sam 120

1 Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh, tami tangawn ni Hezekiah a ti awh Kai teh runae kâhmo navah, BAWIPA ka kaw teh Bawipa ni na pato.

A song of ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.

2 Oe BAWIPA, ka muitha hah laithoe e pahni dawk hoi thoseh, dumyennae lai dawk hoi thoseh, na rungngang haw.

Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.

3 Oe dumyennae lai, Bawipa ni nang hah bangtelah vaimoe na ti han vai, nang hah bang hoi vaimoe runae na poe han vai tet pawiteh,

What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?

4 athakaawmnaw e kahran e pala hoi kongkang hmaisaan hoi doeh.

Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!

5 Kai teh, Meshek ram vah, kahlawng ka cei teh Kedarnaw e rim dawk ka o dawkvah, yawthoe lah a o

Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!

6 Ka muitha teh roumnae ka hmuhma e naw hoi rei ao e hroung asaw toe.

Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

7 Kai teh roumnae ka ngai. Hatei, ka dei navah, ahnimouh teh tarantuk hane doeh a ngai awh.

I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.
