< Psalms 125 >
1 Those/We who trust in Yahweh are [as secure/steadfast] [SIM] as Zion Hill, which cannot be shaken and can never be moved.
Tangtlaeng Laa BOEIPA dongah aka pangtung rhoek tah Zion tlang bangla, kumhal ah tuen pawt tih ngol.
2 Like the hills that surround Jerusalem [protect the city], Yahweh protects [us], his people, and he will protect us forever.
Jerusalem kaepvai kah tlang rhoek tah amah ham coeng ni. Te dongah BOEIPA tah a pilnam a kaepvai ah, tahae lamkah neh kumhal duela om.
3 Wicked people [MTY] should not [be allowed to] rule over the land where righteous [people] live. If they did that, those righteous [people] might [(be encouraged to imitate them and]) do things that are wrong.
Halangnah mancai loh aka dueng rhoek kah hmulung te naan boel saeh. Te daengah ni aka dueng loh a kut te dumlai la a hlah pawt eh.
4 Yahweh, do good things to those who do good things to others and to those who sincerely obey your commands [IDM].
BOEIPA aw aka then taeng neh, a lungbuei ah aka thuem taengah tah hlampan pah.
5 But when you punish the wicked people [who are not Israelis], also punish those [Israelis] who turn away from walking on the good roads [MET] that you have shown them! I wish that things will go well for [people in] Israel!
Tedae BOEIPA aw, amih a kael la aka mael rhoek neh boethae aka saii te a tueih ni. Israel soah rhoepnah om saeh.
