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 degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard 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] 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? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

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

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

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 in Mesech, [that] I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

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

My soul hath long dwelt 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 for] peace: but when I speak, they [are] for war.
