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.

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

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

²Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.

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

³Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

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

⁴Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

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.

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

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

⁶The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.

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

⁷The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.

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

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

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.

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

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.

¹⁰Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.

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.

¹¹LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.

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

¹²LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.

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.

¹³O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.

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.

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

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.

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

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

¹⁶LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.

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

¹⁷Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.

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.

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

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.

¹⁹Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

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.

²⁰Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

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.

²¹For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
