La Bu 124

1 Pakai hi eiho langa anapanglou hikhataleh? Israelte jousen velseikit hen.

IF it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2 Min eina delkhum pettah’un Pakai hi eiho langa anapanglou hikhataleh,

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

3 amahon alunghan u deojah pum in ahingin eina vallhum tauvinte.

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 Twi chun einachup uvintin, twikhanglen chun einalhohmang diu ahitai.

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5 Hitia chu ichunguva twipi kitoltol ding ahiuve.

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Igalmiteu einasuhmangsah louva Pakai chu thangvahna peuhite.

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Eiho thaang kampa a kon a vacha ahoidoh banga hoidoh ihiuve. Thangpou chu akivobong tan eiho ihoidoh tauve.

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8 Hitobanga kithopina chu van le lei sem ah Pakai a kon a imu’u ahi.

Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
