Psalms 129

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

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

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

3 The plowmen plowed over 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 me from the cords of the wicked.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.”

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.
