< Sam 124 >

1 Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA ni na awmkhai hoeh pawiteh, telah Isarelnaw ni atu a dei awh hane teh,
A Song of Ascents; of David. 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us', let Israel now say;
2 BAWIPA teh maimouh koe lah awm hoeh pawiteh, taminaw ni na taran awh navah,
'If it had not been the LORD who was for us, when men rose up against us,
3 a lungkhuek awh vaiteh, maimouh hah hringo na payawp awh toe.
Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;
4 Hatnavah, tui ni maimanaw teh muen na ramuk teh tui ka lawng e ni, maimae hringnae van muen a lawng sin toe.
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul;
5 Puenghoi kalawng e tui ni maimae hringnae teh muen a lawng sin toe, tie hah doeh.
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.'
6 Ahnimouh ni hâ hoi na ai awh nahanelah, maimanaw hah ahnimouh koe na poe awh hoeh. BAWIPA teh pholen lah awm seh.
Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Maimae hringnae teh, tangkam dawk hoi kahlout e tava patetlah a hlout toe. Tangkam a lawt teh, maimouh hlout awh toe.
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 Maimouh kabawpnae teh, kalvan hoi talai ka sak e BAWIPA min lahoi coe awh.
Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
