Sam 128

1 Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh, tami tangawn ni Hezekiah a ti awh BAWIPA ka taket niteh, a lamthung ka dawn e tami pueng teh, tami yawkahawi e doeh.

A Song of Ascents. How happy is every one that revereth Yahweh, who walketh in his ways!

2 Hottelah na sak pawiteh, nang teh na kut hoi na tawk e hah atangcalah na ca han. Yawhawi awm vaiteh, lunghawinae na coe han.

The labour of thine own hands, surely thou shalt eat. How happy thou, and well for thine!

3 Na yu teh na im thung kaawm niteh, a paw moi kapaw e misurkung hoi a kâvan. Na canu capanaw teh, na caboi petkâkalup lah, ung e olivekungnaw patetlah ao awh han.

Thy wife, like a fruitful vine, within the recesses of thy house, —Thy children, like plantings of olive-trees, round about thy table.

4 Khenhaw! Bawipa ka taket e teh, hot patet e yawhawinae a coe han.

Lo! thus, shall be blessed the man who revereth Yahweh.

5 BAWIPA ni Zion hoi yawhawi na poe seh. Na hringyung thung Jerusalem e hawinae na hmawt naseh.

Yahweh will bless thee, out of Zion, —and behold thou the welfare of Jerusalem, all the days of thy life!

6 Na canaw ni a khe e canaw hai na hmawt naseh. Isarelnaw koe roumnae awm seh.

And behold thou thy children’s children, —Prosperity on Israel!
