¹In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation doth he appoint for walls and bulwarks.

¹Huai ni chiangin Judate gamah hiai la a sa ding uh. Khopi kip tak i nei ua: aman lah hotdamna kulh bangte le kulhpite adingin a sep ding hi.

²Open ye the gates, and the righteous nation which keepeth faithfulness shall enter in.

²Nam diktat thutakjui nam a lut theihna dingin kulh kongkhakte hong un.

³Thou wilt keep in perfect peace the mind stayed [on thee], for he confideth in thee.

³Na tunga lungsim ngami, nangmah a hon muan jiakin, khamuang mahmaha om dingin na veng ding.

⁴Confide ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jah, Jehovah, is the rock of ages.

⁴TOUPA khantawnin muang un: TOUPA Jehova ah lah khantawn suangpi a om ngala.

⁵For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low, he layeth it low to the ground, he bringeth it even to the dust.

⁵Aman lah sangpi-a omte a hihniamta ngala, khopi sangpi mah: huai tuh a koih niama, lei phain a koih niama, leivui pha hialin a puksak hi.

⁶The foot shall tread it down, -- the feet of the afflicted, the steps of the poor.

⁶Khein a sikden ding; gentheite khe leh tagahte kalsuan mahmahin.

⁷The way of the just is uprightness: thou, the Upright, dost make the path of the just even.

⁷Mi diktat lampi lah dikna ahi a; nang lungtang diktat puin mi diktat lampi na hihmam sek.

⁸Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; the desire of [our] soul is to thy name, and to thy memorial.

⁸A hi, TOUPA aw, na vaihawmna lampi ah kon ngak nilouh uh: kou hinna deihlam jaw na min loh leh nangmah theihgigena ahi.

⁹With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

⁹Jan chiangin ka hinnain nangmah a honngaia; ahi, jingkhangin ka sunga ka kha omin ka honzong ding hi: na vaihawmnate leia a hongom chiangin khovela omten diktatna lah a sin jel ngal ua.

¹⁰If favour be shewn to the wicked, he doth not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness he dealeth unjustly, and beholdeth not the majesty of Jehovah.

¹⁰Mi thulimlou jaw deihsakin om mahleh, diktatna a sin tuan sam kei ding: dikna gamah diklou tak in a hih dinga, TOUPA thupina a mu tuan kei ding.

¹¹Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, but they do not see: [yet] they shall see [thy] jealousy [for] the people, and be ashamed; yea, the fire which is for thine adversaries shall devour them.

¹¹TOUPA, na khut lah jakin a oma, himahleh amau lah a mu tuan kei ua: ahihhangin mite adia na phatuamngaihna a mu ding ua, a zum ta ding uh; ahi, nang hondoute meiin a kang mang ding.

¹²Jehovah, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou also hast wrought all our works for us.

¹²TOUPA nang lemna non sehsak ding: nang lah ka nasep tengteng uh non sep sak ngala.

¹³Jehovah our God, other lords than thee have had dominion over us; by thee only will we make mention of thy name.

¹³TOUPA ka Pathian uh aw, nang kia hilouin kumpipa dangten leng ka tunguah thu a neikhin ta ngal ua, himahleh nang mahmah panpihin na min ka lou ta ding uh.

¹⁴[They are] dead, they shall not live; deceased, they shall not rise: for thou hast visited and destroyed them, and made all memory of them to perish.

¹⁴Amau lah a sita uha, ahing nawn kei ding uh; a mangta ua, a thou nawn kei ding uh; huaijiakin nang amau na gawtin na hihsiaa, a theihgigena tengteng u leng na hihmangta hi.

¹⁵Thou hast increased the nation, Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified. Thou hadst removed [it] far [unto] all the ends of the earth.

¹⁵Hiai nam lah na pungsaktaa. TOUPA aw, hiai nam lah na pungsakta: nang lah pahtawiin na omta: hiai gam lah a gamgi tengteng na liansakta hi.

¹⁶Jehovah, in trouble they sought thee; they poured out [their] whispered prayer when thy chastening was upon them.

¹⁶TOUPA, a dah lai un a honzong ua, na gawtna a tung ua a kiak laiin a thum zihzeh uh.

¹⁷As a woman with child, that draweth near her delivery, is in travail, [and] crieth out in her pangs; so have we been before thee, Jehovah.

¹⁷Numei nau pai, neih hun naita bangin; TOUPA aw, kou leng na maah ka om sek uh.

¹⁸We have been with child, we have been in travail, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought the deliverance of the land, neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

¹⁸Nau ka pai ua, ka na ua, huih bang lel ka nei uh; leiah lah tatkhiakna lam himhim ka hihko kei ua; khovela omte lah a puk sam kei uh.

¹⁹Thy dead shall live, my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing in triumph, ye that dwell in dust; for thy dew is the dew of the morning, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.

¹⁹Na misite a hing nawn ding ua; ka mi luangte a thou nawn ding uh. Leivuia omte aw, halh unla, nuamtakin lasa un: na daitui lah khovak daitui bang ahi a, leiin lah misite a paikhe sin ngala, chih.

²⁰Come, my people, enter into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself just for a little moment, until the indignation be past.

²⁰Kisa un, ka mite aw, na dantan sung uahte lut unla, na kongkhakte uh kikhak khum un: lunghihlouhna a ven masiah mitphiatkal phet bu un.Ngai un, TOUPA, a gitlouhna jiak ua leia omte gawt dingin a omnaa kipan a hong pawtkhe sin hi: lei mahin a sisan a hihlang dinga, a mi a thah te uh a khuhta kei ding hi.

²¹For behold, Jehovah cometh out of his place to visit the iniquity of the inhabitants of the earth upon them; and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

²¹Ngai un, TOUPA, a gitlouhna jiak ua leia omte gawt dingin a omnaa kipan a hong pawtkhe sin hi: lei mahin a sisan a hihlang dinga, a mi a thah te uh a khuhta kei ding hi.
