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.

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:

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

Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me.

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

Plowers have plowed over my back, They have made their furrows long.

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

YHWH [is] righteous, He has cut apart cords of the wicked.

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

All hating Zion [are] confounded and turn backward.

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

They are as grass of the roofs, That withers before it was drawn out,

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

That has not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves.

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 the passers by have not said, “The blessing of YHWH [is] on you, We blessed you in the Name of YHWH!”
