Psalms 129

1 A Song of Ascents. 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up', let Israel now say;

Kasang laa. Ka nawkta nathuem hoi boeh ni nihcae mah kai ang pacaekthlaek o, Israel mah vaihi,

2 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up; but they have not prevailed against me.

ka nawkta nathuem hoi boeh ni nihcae mah kai ang pacaekthlaek o boeh; toe nihcae mah na pazawk o vai ai, tiah thuih.

3 The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

Laikok atok kaminawk mah long atok naah kaom ahmaa baktiah ka kaengah ahmaa kathuk to oh.

4 The LORD is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.'

Toe Angraeng loe toeng; poeksae kaminawk ih qui to anih mah aah pae pat.

5 Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.

Zion hnuma kaminawk boih azathaih hoiah amlaem o let nasoe.

6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it springeth up;

Qoeng tahang ai ah kazaem, imphu nui ih phroh baktiah om o nasoe;

7 Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

to phroh aatkung loe ban tamsum maeto mataeng doeh hak ai, cang taoeng kami aput han kakhawt ah doeh hak thai ai.

8 Neither do they that go by say: 'The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.'

To ahmuen ah caeh kaminawk loe, Angraeng tahamhoihaih na nuiah om nasoe; Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah tahamhoihaih kang paek, tiah thui o mak ai.
