Psalms 129

1 A Song of the going up. Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young (let Israel now say);

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

2 Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young, but my troubles have not overcome me.

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

3 The ploughmen were ploughing on my back; long were the wounds they made.

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

4 The Lord is true: the cords of the evil-doers are broken in two.

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

5 Let all the haters of Zion be shamed and turned back.

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

6 Let them be like the grass on the house-tops, which is dry before it comes to full growth.

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

7 He who gets in the grain has no use for it; and they do not make bands of it for the grain-stems.

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 And those who go by do not say, The blessing of the Lord be on you; we give you blessing 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.
