La Bu 146

1 Pakai vahchoijun! O kalhagao Pakai vahchoi jin!

PRAISE ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul.

2 Kahin laisea Pakai kavahchoi ding, hinna hu kanei laisen ka Pathen vahchoi la sange.

While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3 Leng chapate chunga natahsan koi hih’in, hichu panpi bei ahibouve.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 Mihem chate hu abeiteng leisetna akilekit-un leivui akisoh jin, hiche nikho lechun athilgon chengseu toh thitha ding ahitauve.

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Hinlah apanpi dinga Israel Pathen neiho, chule Pakai, Pathen a kinepna neiho anunnom ahi.

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6 Aman van le leiset twikhanglen leh asunga umjouse anasem in, Aman imatih chan’a akitepna achepi jing ahi.

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

7 Aman suhgentheija umho thudih’in achungthu atanpeh in, chule agikel te an apen ahi. Pakaiyin songkul tangho alhadoh’in, achamsah jin ahi.

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners:

8 Pakaiyin mitchoho kho amusah’in, alhu ho aphong ding in, michonpha Pakaiyin angailun ahi.

The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous:

9 Pakaiyin gamdang miho ahuhdoh in, Aman meithaiho leh chaga ho akhoton, amavang miphalou ho thilgon asuhbei peh’in ahi.

The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 Pakaiyin tonsotna vai ahomding ahi. O Jerusalem, Amahi akhang akhanga na Pathen hiding ahi. Pakai vahchoijun!

The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.
