La Bu 129
1 Kakhangdonlai a pat in kagalmiten eihin bolseuvin ahi. Israel pumpin hichehi velse uhen.
A Song of Degrees. Many a time have they warred against me from my youth, let Israel now say:
2 Kakhangdonlai a pat in kagalmiten eihin bolseuvin ahi, ahinla amahon khatveicha eijoukha pouvin ahi.
Many a time have they warred against me from my youth: and yet they prevailed not against me.
3 Katungtun hi maha adiptauvin, loukhoipan lou akhoi chehlah lahtoh abahsah jengun ahi.
The sinners wrought upon my back: they prolonged their iniquity.
4 Ahinla Pakai chu aphatjeh’in miphalouhon khaova eikannao eisutlhappeh tan ahi.
The righteous Lord has cut asunder the necks of sinners.
5 Koi hileh Jerusalem hot leh deimoa bolho jouse chu jumthet in kinunglekit’u henlang lhuhpiuhen.
Let all that hate Sion be put to shame and turned back.
6 Amahohi pannabei inchung vum'a hampa kehtobang, akhan kilhit masanga goplha tobang hiuhen.
Let them be as the grass of the housetops, which withers before it is plucked up.
7 Chang-at hon anotthap’u, chuleh chang kanhon adeimou hihen, chuleh hichelang hopa jousen, “Nachunguva Pakai phattheiboh umhen keihon Pakai mi in phatthei kahinboh uve” tin seihihbeh’u hen.
Wherewith the reaper fills not his hand, nor he that makes up the sheaves, his bosom.
Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
