Psalms 129

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

Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh, tami tangawn ni Hezekiah a ti awh Ka nawca hoiyah ahnimouh ni na rektap awh, telah Isarelnaw ni tet awh naseh.

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

Ka nawca hoiyah ahnimouh ni kai teh, na rektap awh. Hatei, na tâ awh hoeh.

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

Ka hnukthun vah talai thawn e patetlah a thawn awh teh, laikong kasawlah a sak awh.

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

Hatei, BAWIPA teh a lan. Ahni ni tamikaponaw e tangronnaw teh, thouk thouk a bouk pouh.

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

Zion kahmuhmanaw pueng teh, kayak awh naseh, hnuklah ban awh naseh.

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

Ahnimouh teh, a kung a len hoehnahlan remke e lemphu e phokung patetlah awm awh naseh.

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

Hote pho teh, kaanaw hanelah, kut kasum khuem hai phat hoeh. Ka tangoungnaw hanelah, tapam khuem hai phat hoeh.

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.'

Ka cet kaawm pueng nihai, BAWIPA e yawhawi teh nangmouh koe awm lawiseh. Kaimouh ni BAWIPA min lahoi nangmouh yawhawi na poe awh telah a dei awh mahoeh.
