Psalms 129

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:

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

2 Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over 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 Plowers have plowed over my back, They have made their furrows long.

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

4 YHWH [is] righteous, He has cut apart cords of the wicked.

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

5 All hating Zion [are] confounded and turn backward.

Zion hnuma kaminawk boih azathaih hoiah amlaem o let nasoe.

6 They are as grass of the roofs, That withers before it was drawn out,

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

7 That has not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves.

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

8 And the passers by have not said, “The blessing of YHWH [is] on you, We blessed you in the Name of YHWH!”

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