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 called unto 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.

O LORD, deliver my soul from lying lips, from 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 shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

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

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of broom.

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

Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!

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

My soul hath full long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.

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

I am all peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
