La Bu 120

1 Lungkhamna leh lunggimna kato tengleh Pakai kom kalhutjin ahileh Aman kataona asangjin ahi.

In my distress, I cried to Adonai. He answered me.

2 O Pakai mijouhoa konleh milepchehoa kon in neihuhdoh’in.

Deliver my soul, Adonai, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

3 Oh lepchena leigui manchaho, Pathen in nangho ipi nalouvintem? Aman nachunga engbolna ichan gei in apunsahbe dem?

What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

4 Nangma thalchang hemtah a nakisunding chuleh meihol sapehpoh nakidesahding ahi.

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

5 Gamlatah Meshach lah’a kachenchu kadanave, gamlatah Kedar ponbuh a kachenchu kathohlel ngeije,

Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 Keima chamna deilah’a kachenhi kakhoplheh jengtai,

My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

7 Keiman chamna kahol in, ahinlah keiman chamna thu kaseipou pouleh amahon gal bou adeijiu ve.

I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
