< Psalms 132 >
1 A Song of Degrees. Lord, remember David, and all his meekness:
Tangtlaeng Laa Aw BOEIPA David ham a phaep pah te boeih poek pah.
2 how he sware to the Lord, [and] vowed to the God of Jacob, [saying],
BOEIPA taengah a caeng tih Jakob samrhang taengah khaw a caeng coeng.
3 I will not go into the tabernacle of my house; I will not go up to the couch of my bed;
Ka dap im khuila ka pawk pawt vetih ka soengca rhaenghmuen khaw ka paan mahpawh.
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids, nor rest to my temples,
Ka mik te ih sak ham, ka mikkhu te ngam sak ham ka pae mahpawh.
5 until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
BOEIPA ham a hmuen neh Jakob kah samrhang ham tolhmuen ka hmuh duela.
6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha; we found it in the fields of the wood.
Khohmuen duup ah m'hmuh te Epharath ah khaw n'yaak uh coeng.
7 Let us enter into his tabernacles: let us worship at the place where his feet stood.
A tolhmuen la cet uh sih lamtah a kho kah khotloeng taengah bawk uh sih.
8 Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thine holiness.
Aw BOEIPA nang na duemnah neh na sarhi thingkawng taengah thoo lah.
9 Thy priests shall clothe themselves with righteousness; and thy saints shall exult.
Na khosoih rhoek loh duengnah bai uh saeh lamtah na hlangcim rhoek loh tamhoe uh saeh.
10 For the sake of thy servant David turn not away the face of thine anointed.
Na sal David ham tah na koelh kah maelhmai te na mangthuung tak moenih.
11 The Lord sware [in] truth to David, and he will not annul it, [saying], Of the fruit of thy body will I set [a king] upon thy throne.
BOEIPA loh David taengah oltak la a caeng coeng. Na bungko thaihtae lamkah khaw te lamloh mael pawt vetih nang ham ngolkhoel soah kang khueh bitni.
12 If thy children will deep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon thy throne for ever.
Ka paipi neh amih ka tukkil ka olphong te na ca rhoek loh a ngaithuen uh atah a ca rhoek khaw na ngolkhoel dongah a yoeyah la ngol uh ni.
13 For the Lord has elected Sion, he has chosen her for a habitation for himself, [saying],
BOEIPA loh Zion te a coelh tih amah tolrhum la a sahnaih thil.
14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have chosen it.
Ka duemnah he ka sahnaih coeng dongah a yoeyah la pahoi ka ngol thil ni.
15 I will surely bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
A sakah te ka uem ka uem pah vetih a khuikah khodaeng rhoek te buh ka cung sak ni.
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall greatly exult.
Te vaengah a khosoih rhoek te khangnah ka bai sak vetih a hlangcim rhoek loh tamhoe la tamhoe uh ni.
17 There will I cause to spring up a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for mine anointed.
David ham ki pahoi ka cawn sak vetih ka koelh ham hmaithoi ka tok pah ni.
18 His enemies will I clothe with a shame; but upon himself shall my holiness flourish.
A thunkha rhoek te yahpohnah ka bai sak vetih anih te a rhuisam neh ka khooi sak ni.
