Psalms 129

1 A song of degrees. They haue often times afflicted me from my youth (may Israel nowe say)

Kasang laa. Ka nawkta nathuem hoi boeh ni nihcae mah kai ang pacaekthlaek o, Israel mah vaihi,

2 They haue often times afflicted me from my youth: but they could not preuaile against me.

ka nawkta nathuem hoi boeh ni nihcae mah kai ang pacaekthlaek o boeh; toe nihcae mah na pazawk o vai ai, tiah thuih.

3 The plowers plowed vpon my backe, and made long furrowes.

Laikok atok kaminawk mah long atok naah kaom ahmaa baktiah ka kaengah ahmaa kathuk to oh.

4 But the righteous Lord hath cut the cordes of the wicked.

Toe Angraeng loe toeng; poeksae kaminawk ih qui to anih mah aah pae pat.

5 They that hate Zion, shalbe all ashamed and turned backward.

Zion hnuma kaminawk boih azathaih hoiah amlaem o let nasoe.

6 They shalbe as the grasse on the house tops, which withereth afore it commeth forth.

Qoeng tahang ai ah kazaem, imphu nui ih phroh baktiah om o nasoe;

7 Whereof the mower filleth not his hand, neither the glainer his lap:

to phroh aatkung loe ban tamsum maeto mataeng doeh hak ai, cang taoeng kami aput han kakhawt ah doeh hak thai ai.

8 Neither they, which go by, say, The blessing of the Lord be vpon you, or, We blesse you in the Name of the Lord.

To ahmuen ah caeh kaminawk loe, Angraeng tahamhoihaih na nuiah om nasoe; Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah tahamhoihaih kang paek, tiah thui o mak ai.
