Psalms 129

1 A Song of Ascents. Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:

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

2 many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.

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

3 The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.

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

4 The LORD is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

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

5 Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

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

6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,

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

7 with which the reaper does not fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

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

8 Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of the LORD be on you. We bless you in the LORD’s name.”

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.
