Tingtoeng 115

1 BOEIPA aw kaimih ham moenih. Kaimih ham pawt dae namah ming ham mah na sitlohnah, na uepomnah rhang neh thangpomnah te pae lah.

Not unto us, O LORD! not unto us, But unto thy name, give glory, For thy mercy and thy truth's sake!

2 Ba dongah lae namtom rhoek loh, “A Pathen khaw melae me?,” a ti uh.

Why should the nations say, “Where is now their God?”

3 Tedae kaimih kah Pathen tah vaan ah om tih, amah loh a ngaih te boeih a saii.

Our God is in the heavens; He doeth whatever he pleaseth.

4 Amih kah muei rhoek ngawntah cak neh sui neh hlang kut long ni a bi.

Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men's hands:

5 Amih te a ka om dae cal uh thai pawh. A mik te om dae hmuh uh thai pawh.

They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;

6 A hna te om dae ya uh pawh. A hnarhong te om dae him uh thai pawh.

They have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not;

7 A kut om dae yam thai pawh. A kho om dae cet uh thai pawh. A olrhong neh cai uh thai pawh.

They have hands, but they handle not; They have feet, but they walk not; Nor do they speak with their throats.

8 Amih aka saii tih amih dongah aka pangtung rhoek boeih khaw amih bangla pawtlawt om uh.

They who make them are like unto them; And so is every one that trusteth in them.

9 Israel na BOEIPA dongah pangtung lah. Amah te amih kah bomkung neh photling ni.

O Israel! trust thou in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

10 Aaron imkhui nang BOEIPA dongah pangtung uh lah. Amah te amih kah bomkung neh photling ni.

O house of Aaron! trust ye in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

11 BOEIPA aka rhih rhoek, BOEIPA dongah pangtung uh lah. Amah te amih kah bomkung neh photling ni.

Ye that fear the LORD trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

12 BOEIPA loh mamih he n'ngaidam. Israel imkhui he yoethen a paek a paek vetih Aron imkhui khaw yoethen a paek ni.

The LORD hath been mindful of us; he will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.

13 BOEIPA aka rhih tanoe kangham taengah yoethen a paek ni.

He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

14 BOEIPA loh nang neh na ca rhoek taengah hang koei saeh.

The LORD will increase you more and more, You and your children.

15 Vaan neh diklai aka saii BOEIPA loh nangmih yoethen m'paek coeng.

Blessed are ye of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

16 Vaan vaan rhoek BOEIPA hut dae diklai he hlanghing koca taengah a paek.

The heaven is the LORD'S heaven; But the earth he hath given to the sons of men.

17 Aka duek rhoek neh tuihoeng la aka suntla boeih BOEIPA a thangthen uh moenih.

The dead praise not the LORD, —No one who goeth down into silence.

18 Tedae mamih loh tahae lamkah kumhal due khaw BOEIPA uem uh sih. BOEIPA thangthen uh.

But we will bless the LORD, From this time forth even for ever! Praise ye the LORD!
