< Psalms 124 >
1 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:
Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA ni na awmkhai hoeh pawiteh, telah Isarelnaw ni atu a dei awh hane teh,
2 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,
BAWIPA teh maimouh koe lah awm hoeh pawiteh, taminaw ni na taran awh navah,
3 Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,
a lungkhuek awh vaiteh, maimouh hah hringo na payawp awh toe.
4 Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
Hatnavah, tui ni maimanaw teh muen na ramuk teh tui ka lawng e ni, maimae hringnae van muen a lawng sin toe.
5 Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.
Puenghoi kalawng e tui ni maimae hringnae teh muen a lawng sin toe, tie hah doeh.
6 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.
Ahnimouh ni hâ hoi na ai awh nahanelah, maimanaw hah ahnimouh koe na poe awh hoeh. BAWIPA teh pholen lah awm seh.
7 Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
Maimae hringnae teh, tangkam dawk hoi kahlout e tava patetlah a hlout toe. Tangkam a lawt teh, maimouh hlout awh toe.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Maimouh kabawpnae teh, kalvan hoi talai ka sak e BAWIPA min lahoi coe awh.
