Sam 146

1 Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh BAWIPA teh pholen awh. Oe ka hringnae BAWIPA hah pholen haw.

Hallelujah. Praise, O my soul, the Lord.

2 Kai teh, kahring lahun nah BAWIPA ka pholen han. Ka hringyung thung ka Cathut teh la sak hoi ka pholen han.

I will praise the Lord throughout my life: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3 Bawinaw hoi na ka rungngang thai hoeh e taminaw hah kâuep awh hanh.

Put not your trust in princes, in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

4 Ahnimae muitha a tâco toteh, talai lah doeh a ban awh. Hatnah hnin vah, ahnimae pouknae pueng teh be a rawk pouh.

When his spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his [native] earth: on that very day perish his thoughts.

5 Jakop e Cathut hah na kabawmkung lah kaawm sak e, amae Cathut ka ngaihawi e teh, a yaw ahawi.

[But] happy is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is on the Lord his God;

6 Hote Cathut ni kalvan, talai, tuipui, hoi hetnaw dawk kaawm e naw pueng hah a sak.

Who hath made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

7 Rektap lah kaawmnaw hanelah, lawk a ceng pouh teh, a von kahlamnaw rawca a poe. BAWIPA ni thongkabawtnaw a hlout sak.

Who executeth justice for the oppressed: who giveth bread to the hungry: the Lord looseneth the prisoners;

8 BAWIPA ni mitdawnnaw mit a hmu sak. BAWIPA ni katabutnaw hah a loungouk sak teh, tamikalannaw hah a lungpataw.

The Lord causeth the blind to see; the Lord raiseth up those who are bowed down; the Lord loveth the righteous:

9 BAWIPA ni Jentelnaw hah a khetyawt teh, naranaw hoi lahmainunaw hah a kabawp. Tamikathoutnaw e lamthung teh, a rawk sak.

The Lord guardeth the strangers; the fatherless and widow he helpeth up; but the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.

10 BAWIPA ni a yungyoe a uk han. Oe Zion na Cathut ni catounnaw totouh a uk han. Hallelujah.

The Lord will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.
