Sam 122

1 Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA e im dawk cet awh sei telah, kai koe ati awh navah, ka lunghawi.

A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

2 Oe Jerusalem, kaimae khok teh, nange takhang thungvah a kangdue han.

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem teh kacakpounglah sak e lah ao.

Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:

4 BAWIPA e miphunnaw teh hote kho dawk a cei awh katang. Isarelnaw e phung patetlah BAWIPA e a miphunnaw teh BAWIPA min pholen hanelah, BAWIPA min pholen nahanelah a ceitakhang awh.

Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hmuen koevah, bawitungkhungnaw, Devit imthung bawitungkhungnaw lawkceng nahanelah a hruek awh.

For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Jerusalem a roum nahanlah ratoum awh. Nang lungpataw naw teh a hmacawn awh naseh.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

7 Nange rapannaw roumnae awmseh. Na impui hawinae coe awh naseh.

Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

8 Ka hmaunawngha han hoi ka huikonaw hanelah, nang dawk roumnae awm seh telah ka dei han.

For my brethren and companions’ sake, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

9 Maimae BAWIPA Cathut im hane dawkvah, nange hawinae hah ka tawng han.

Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
