Sam 121

1 Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh, tami tangawn ni Hezekiah a ti awh Kabawpnae teh nâhoi maw a tho han ka titeh, monnaw koelah ka khet.

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I look to the hills—but is that where my help comes from?

2 Kalvan hoi talai kasakkung BAWIPA koehoi doeh a tho.

My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 Bawipa ni na khok tâlaw sak hoeh. Nang khenyawnkung teh ngâm boihoeh.

He will not let you fall; he who watches over you won't fall asleep.

4 Atangcalah Isarelnaw khenyawnkung Ahni teh ngâm boihoeh, ip hai ip boihoeh.

In fact he who watches over you doesn't take naps or fall asleep.

5 BAWIPA ni nang teh, na khetyawt. BAWIPA teh, aranglae tâhlip, na kângue e doeh.

The Lord keeps watch over you; the Lord protects you; he stands right beside you.

6 Khodai vah kanî, karum vah thapa ni runae na poe mahoeh.

The sun won't hurt you during the day, nor the moon at night.

7 BAWIPA ni runae pueng thung hoi na khetyawt han, na hringnae hai a khetyawt han.

The Lord will protect you from all kinds of evil; he will keep you safe and sound.

8 BAWIPA ni, na ceinae, na thonae pueng hah atuhoi pout laipalah, a khetyawt han.

The Lord will look after you when you leave, and when you return, now and forever.
