Psalms 130

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Lord, I cry out to you from the depths of my pain.

Aw Bawipa, a dungnaak hun awhkawng nang a venawh khy nyng.

2 Please listen to my cry, and pay attention to what I'm asking.

Aw Bawipa, kak awi ve ngai law lah. Qeennaak thoeh doena na venawh kak khynaak benna nang haa keng law lah.

3 Lord, if you kept a list of sins, who could escape being condemned?

Aw Bawipa, nang ing thawlhnaak khqi ve na khoem mai mantaw, Aw Bawipa, u nu ak dyi thai kaw?

4 But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.

Cehlai namah a venawh qeenkhaw ngainaak awm hy; cedawngawh kqih awm na awm hyk ti.

5 I'm waiting for the Lord, longingly waiting, for I trust in his word.

Bawipa ce qeh nyng, ka hqingnaak ing qeh hy, ak awi awh kang ngaih-unaak ce awm hy.

6 I long for the Lord to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come.

Qaltoengkhqi ing mymcang ami qehdam anglakawh, ka hqingnaak ing Bawipa lamtoen hy.

7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for the Lord loves us with a trustworthy love and his salvation knows no limits.

Aw Israel Bawipa awh nang ngaih-unaak ce ta lah, kawtih Bawipa awh amak dyt thai lungnaak ing thaawngnaak soep ce awm hy.

8 He will save Israel from every sin.

Amah ing Israelkhqi ce a thawlhnaakkhqi boeih awhkawng hul kaw.
