Psalms 129

1 A Song of Degrees. Many a time have they warred against me from my youth, 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 a time have they warred against me from my youth: and yet they prevailed not against me.

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

3 The sinners wrought upon my back: they prolonged their iniquity.

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

4 The righteous Lord has cut asunder the necks of sinners.

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

5 Let all that hate Sion be put to shame and turned back.

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

6 Let them be as the grass of the house-tops, which withers before it is plucked up.

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

7 Wherewith the reaper fills not his hand, nor he that makes up the 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 they that go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed 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.
