< Psalms 129 >
1 A Song of Ascents. Many a time, have they harassed me from my youth, well may Israel say:
Ka naasen awhkawng cekkhqi ing ni husit hawh uhy, tina – Israelkhqi ing amik kqawnnaak taw –
2 Many a time, have they harassed me from youth, yet have they not prevailed against me.
cekkhqi ing ka naasen awhkawng ni husit hlai uhy, amni noeng khawi uhy.
3 Upon my back, have ploughmen ploughed, They have lengthened their furrow!
Lai ak nawkkhqi ing kam tingkawng awh lai nawk unawh, a qytnaak a ngaw sim hqa hy.
4 Yahweh, is righteous, He hath cut asunder the cords of the lawless.
Cehlai Bawipa taw dyng hy; anih ing thlakchekhqi a qui ce boet law nawh ni loet sak hy.
5 Let all who hate Zion, be ashamed and shrink back:
Zion ak sawhnaak thlangkhqi boeih taw chah doena hlat u seh.
6 Let them become like the grass of housetops, which, before it is pulled up, hath withered;
Iptih na sai ak cawt, a tai hlan awh ak zai nawn amyihna awm u seh;
7 Wherewith no reaper, hath filled his hand, nor binder, his bosom:
cemyih cetaw ak aatkung ing a kut awh ap pawm nawh, ak cawikung ingawm a ban awh ak be na ap tawm bai hy.
8 Neither have the passers-by ever said, The blessing of Yahweh, be unto you, —We have blessed you in the Name of Yahweh.
Ce a hun awh ak cet saqui ing, “Bawipa a zoseennaak nak khan awh awm seh; Bawipang ming ing zoseennaak ni pe nyng,” am tina kawn.
