Tingtoeng 121

1 Tangtlaeng laa Kai bomkung me lamkah nim ha pawk ve? tila tlang taengah ka mik ka huel.

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I look to the hills—but is that where my help comes from?

2 Kai aka bomkung tah vaan neh diklai aka saii BOEIPA taeng lamkah ni.

My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 Na kho te paloe ham khueh pawt vetih nang aka dawn te a mikku mahpawh.

He will not let you fall; he who watches over you won't fall asleep.

4 Israel aka dawn loh tarha a mikku pawt vetih ip mahpawh.

In fact he who watches over you doesn't take naps or fall asleep.

5 BOEIPA loh nang n'ngaithuen tih BOEIPA tah na bantang kut ah na hlipkhup la om.

The Lord keeps watch over you; the Lord protects you; he stands right beside you.

6 Khothaih ah khomik loh, khoyin kah hla long khaw nang n'ngawn mahpawh.

The sun won't hurt you during the day, nor the moon at night.

7 BOEIPA loh nang te yoethae cungkuem lamloh n'khoembael vetih na hinglu te a ngaithuen ni.

The Lord will protect you from all kinds of evil; he will keep you safe and sound.

8 Na cet tih na pawk due, tahae lamloh kumhal duela BOEIPA loh n'ngaithuen ni.

The Lord will look after you when you leave, and when you return, now and forever.
