Sam 124

1 Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA ni na awmkhai hoeh pawiteh, telah Isarelnaw ni atu a dei awh hane teh,

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By David.” If the LORD had not been for us, Now may Israel say,

2 BAWIPA teh maimouh koe lah awm hoeh pawiteh, taminaw ni na taran awh navah,

If the LORD had not been for us, When men rose up against us,

3 a lungkhuek awh vaiteh, maimouh hah hringo na payawp awh toe.

Then had they swallowed us up alive, When their wrath burned 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.

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 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.

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; The snare is broken, and we have 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.
