Psalms 121

1 [When we travel toward Jerusalem], I look up toward the hills [and I ask myself], “Who will help me?”

[Tangtlaeng laa] Kai bomkung me lamkah nim ha pawk ve? tila tlang taengah ka mik ka huel.

2 [And my answer is] that Yahweh is the one who helps me; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.

Kai aka bomkung tah vaan neh diklai aka saii BOEIPA taeng lamkah ni.

3 He will not allow us to fall/stumble; God, who protects us, will not fall asleep.

Na kho te paloe ham khueh pawt vetih nang aka dawn te a mikku mahpawh.

4 The one who protects us Israeli people never gets sleepy, nor does he sleep [LIT].

Israel aka dawn loh tarha a mikku pawt vetih ip mahpawh.

5 Yahweh watches over us; he is like the shade [MET] [that protects us from the sun].

BOEIPA loh nang n'ngaithuen tih BOEIPA tah na bantang kut ah na hlipkhup la om.

6 [He will not allow] the sun to harm us during the day, and [he will not allow] the moon to harm us during the night.

Khothaih ah khomik loh, khoyin kah hla long khaw nang n'ngawn mahpawh.

7 Yahweh will protect us from being harmed in any manner; he will keep us safe.

BOEIPA loh nang te yoethae cungkuem lamloh n'khoembael vetih na hinglu te a ngaithuen ni.

8 He will protect us from the time that we leave [our houses in the morning] until we return [in the evening]; he will protect us now, and he will protect us forever.

Na cet tih na pawk due, tahae lamloh kumhal duela BOEIPA loh n'ngaithuen ni.
