¹We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us, what work you did in their days, in the days of old.

¹Pathian aw, nidang laia a damlai ua na thilhihte ka pipute un honhilh uh ka bil un ka ja ua.

²You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.

²Namte na khutin na hawlkhiaa, amau na phuta; miten a sugima, na paikhia.

³For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.

³Gam luah dinga amau namsaua a lak uh ahi kei a, amau bana kihumbit leng ahi kei uhi; a tung ua na kipah jiakin na khut taklam leh, na ban leh, na mel vakin ahi jaw.

⁴You are my King, God. Command victories for Jacob!

⁴Pathian aw, nang ka Kumpipa na hi: Jakob humbitna dingin thu pia in.

⁵Through you, will we push down our adversaries. Through your name, will we tread them under who rise up against us.

⁵Nangmah jiakin ka melmate uh ka si pai ding ua; na min jiakin honsualte ka chil ekek ding uhi.

⁶For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

⁶Ka thalpeu ka muang kei dinga, ka namsauin honhondam sam kei ding.

⁷But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.

⁷Hondoute lak ah nang non hondam zota hi, honhote na zaklaksak behlap hi.

⁸In God we have made our boast all day long, we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah.

⁸Nitumin Pathian ka suang ding ua, na min khantawn in ka phat ding uhi. Selah.

⁹But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don’t go out with our armies.

⁹Tun jaw nang non khah khia a, non hihzum a; ka sepaih honte u lakah lah na pawtkhe ngeikei hi.

¹⁰You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take spoil for themselves.

¹⁰Melmate lakah non taijak saka: honhoten sum a deihdeih uh a lauhi.

¹¹You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.

¹¹Nang nek ding a seh belam bang in non pia a; namchih lakah non hihdalh behlap hi.

¹²You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.

¹²Na mite bangmahlou in na khawngta a, a man uh lah a tam het kei hi.

¹³You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.

¹³Nang ka kim ua mite gensiatin non omsaka, ka kiangnai ua mite muhsit leh nuihsan in non omsak.

¹⁴You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

¹⁴Nang namchih lakah a selam gentehna in non omsaka, michih laka mite lu sinsanin non omsak hi.

¹⁵All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,

¹⁵Ka zumna nitum in ka maah a om gige a, ka zahlaknain hon tuam zouta hi.

¹⁶At the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.

¹⁶Genthangmi leh gense mi aw jiak leh, melma leh phulami jiakin.

¹⁷All this has come on us, yet have we not forgotten you, Neither have we been false to your covenant.

¹⁷Huai tengteng ka tunguah a tunga; himahleh kon mangngilh ngeikei ua, na thukhun ah juauin ka hih ngeikei uhi.

¹⁸Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,

¹⁸Ka lungtang uh a kihei nawn kei a, ka kalsuante un na lampi a paisan ngeisam kei hi.

¹⁹Though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.

¹⁹Nang sehalte omna ah non bawl ek a, sihna lima non tuamna ding in.

²⁰If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god;

²⁰I Pathian min i mangngilh hiam, gamdang Pathian lamah i khutte i jak hiam.

²¹won’t God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.

²¹Pathian in huai tuh a zong khe kei dia hia! Lungtang thugukte a thei gige ngala.

²²Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.

²²Ahi, nangmah jiakin nitumin thah in ka om gige ua; belam goh dingte banga seh ka hi uhi.

²³Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” Arise! Don’t reject us forever.

²³Toupa aw, halh tanla, bangachia ihmu! hak inla, khantawnin hon khah khe ken.

²⁴Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?

²⁴Bangjiakin ahia na mai na sela, ka haksatdan u leh nuaisiah ka thuakdan uh na mangngilh nak.

²⁵For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our body clings to the earth.

²⁵Ka hinna uh leivui siin a kun a; ka gilpi uh lah leiah a belh bikbek ngala.Honpanpih dingin thou inla, na chitna jiakin hon tan in.

²⁶Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness’ sake.

²⁶Honpanpih dingin thou inla, na chitna jiakin hon tan in.
