Sam 129

1 Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh, tami tangawn ni Hezekiah a ti awh Ka nawca hoiyah ahnimouh ni na rektap awh, telah Isarelnaw ni tet awh naseh.

Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.

2 Ka nawca hoiyah ahnimouh ni kai teh, na rektap awh. Hatei, na tâ awh hoeh.

Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.

3 Ka hnukthun vah talai thawn e patetlah a thawn awh teh, laikong kasawlah a sak awh.

The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.

4 Hatei, BAWIPA teh a lan. Ahni ni tamikaponaw e tangronnaw teh, thouk thouk a bouk pouh.

The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:

5 Zion kahmuhmanaw pueng teh, kayak awh naseh, hnuklah ban awh naseh.

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.

6 Ahnimouh teh, a kung a len hoehnahlan remke e lemphu e phokung patetlah awm awh naseh.

Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:

7 Hote pho teh, kaanaw hanelah, kut kasum khuem hai phat hoeh. Ka tangoungnaw hanelah, tapam khuem hai phat hoeh.

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.

8 Ka cet kaawm pueng nihai, BAWIPA e yawhawi teh nangmouh koe awm lawiseh. Kaimouh ni BAWIPA min lahoi nangmouh yawhawi na poe awh telah a dei awh mahoeh.

And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
