¹Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

¹Ka naupan chik akipan min tamveipi honmangbangsak ua. Israelten chi uhen:

²Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

²Ka naupan chik akipan min tamveipi honmangbangsak ua: himahleh hon zou tuan kei ua.

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

³Leiletten ka nungjang ah lei a let ua; a leileh kuangte uh a sausak ngial uhi.

⁴The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

⁴Toupa a diktat ahi: mi gilou- saloute khauhualte tuh a at tatta a: chiin.

⁵Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

⁵Amau zahlak leh taijak sakin om uhen, Zion hote tengteng mah.

⁶Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

⁶A khansang maa vuai maimah jel, in tunga loupa bangin om uhen:

⁷Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

⁷Huai loupain buh atmin a khut a hihdim ngei keia, buhphal tel khawm-min leng a angsung a hihdim ngei sam kei hi.Toupa vualjawlna na tunguah om hen: Toupa minin vual hon jawl uhi, a paikhenmiten a chi ngal sam kei uhi.

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

⁸Toupa vualjawlna na tunguah om hen: Toupa minin vual hon jawl uhi, a paikhenmiten a chi ngal sam kei uhi.
