Psalms 129

1 A song of ascents. Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth— let Israel now declare—

Ka naasen awhkawng cekkhqi ing ni husit hawh uhy, tina – Israelkhqi ing amik kqawnnaak taw –

2 many a time they have persecuted me from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me.

cekkhqi ing ka naasen awhkawng ni husit hlai uhy, amni noeng khawi uhy.

3 The plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.

Lai ak nawkkhqi ing kam tingkawng awh lai nawk unawh, a qytnaak a ngaw sim hqa hy.

4 The LORD is righteous; He has cut me from the cords of the wicked.

Cehlai Bawipa taw dyng hy; anih ing thlakchekhqi a qui ce boet law nawh ni loet sak hy.

5 May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.

Zion ak sawhnaak thlangkhqi boeih taw chah doena hlat u seh.

6 May they be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can grow,

Iptih na sai ak cawt, a tai hlan awh ak zai nawn amyihna awm u seh;

7 unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves.

cemyih cetaw ak aatkung ing a kut awh ap pawm nawh, ak cawikung ingawm a ban awh ak be na ap tawm bai hy.

8 May none who pass by say to them, “The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.”

Ce a hun awh ak cet saqui ing, “Bawipa a zoseennaak nak khan awh awm seh; Bawipang ming ing zoseennaak ni pe nyng,” am tina kawn.
