Psalms 129

1 A Song of the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:

Ka naasen awhkawng cekkhqi ing ni husit hawh uhy, tina – Israelkhqi ing amik kqawnnaak taw –

2 Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me.

cekkhqi ing ka naasen awhkawng ni husit hlai uhy, amni noeng khawi uhy.

3 Over my back have ploughers ploughed, They have made long their furrows.

Lai ak nawkkhqi ing kam tingkawng awh lai nawk unawh, a qytnaak a ngaw sim hqa hy.

4 Jehovah [is] righteous, He hath cut asunder cords of the wicked.

Cehlai Bawipa taw dyng hy; anih ing thlakchekhqi a qui ce boet law nawh ni loet sak hy.

5 Confounded and turn backward do all hating Zion.

Zion ak sawhnaak thlangkhqi boeih taw chah doena hlat u seh.

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

Iptih na sai ak cawt, a tai hlan awh ak zai nawn amyihna awm u seh;

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

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 And the passers by have not said, 'The blessing of Jehovah [is] on you, We blessed you in the Name of Jehovah!'

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.
