Sam 133

1 Kathutkung: Devit Khenhaw! Hmaunawnghanaw ni lungkânging lahoi cungtalah kho a sak awh e teh ahawipoung teh, ngai ao poung.

A Song of Ascents. David’s. Lo! how good and how delightful, for brethren, to dwell together even as one.

2 Aphu kaawm e satui lû dawk awi teh, pâkhamuen totouh ka lawi e, Aron e pâkhamuen totouh ka lawi niteh, a lahuen koehoi a khohna dawk ka lawi e hoi a kâvan.

Like the precious oil upon the head, descending upon the beard; the beard of Aaron, —which descended unto the opening of his robe:

3 Zion mon dawk ka bawt niteh, Hermon mon e tadamtui patetlah ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hmuen koe a yungyoe hringnae yawhawi teh na poe han telah BAWIPA ni lawk na kam pouh.

Like the dew of Hermon, which descended upon the mountains of Zion, —for, there, did Yahweh command the blessing, Life, unto times age-abiding?
