¹God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.

¹Pathian aw, nam chih na gouluah dingah a lut ua; na biakin siangthou hihnin ua; Jerusalem suang chim a vum uhi.

²They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth.

²Na sikhate luang tuh tungleng vasate an dingin a pia ua, na mi siangthoute sa tuh gamsate kiangah a pia ua.

³Their blood they have shed like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.

³A sisan uh Jerusalem kimah tui bangin a sung bua ua; amau vui ding lah kuamah a om ngal kei ua.

⁴We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.

⁴I kim ua mite gensiatin I na om ua, I kiangnai khawnga mite muhsit leh nuihsatin I naom ta uhi.

⁵How long, Yahweh? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?

⁵TOUPA aw, bangtan ahia na heh nilouhlouh ding? Na mullitna tuh mei bangin a kuang ding ahia?

⁶Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you; on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name;

⁶Nangmah theilou nam chih tungah na hehna sung buain, na min kou gam tungahte khawng leng.

⁷For they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.

⁷Jakobte tuh a ne khin ua; a omna uh a hihgamta ngal ua.

⁸Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.

⁸Ka pipute uh thulimlouhnate ka lak uah theigige ken: na lainatnain honnadon pah hen. Nakpitaka hihniamin ka omta ngal ua.

⁹Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake.

⁹Honhondampa Pathian aw, na min thupina dingin honpanpih inla; na min jiakin honbumbit inla, ka khelhnate uh sil siangin.

¹⁰Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants’ blood is being poured out.

¹⁰Bangachia nam chihin, A Pathian uh koia om ahia leh? Na sikhate sisan pawt phulakna ka mitmuh un nam chih lakah theih hi hen.

¹¹Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death.

¹¹Henta thumna na maah tung hen: na thilhihtheihna thupidan bang jelin si dinga sehte tuh humbit inla:

¹²Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.

¹²TOUPA aw, nang a hon gensiatna uh, ka kiangnai uate tungah aleh sagih veiin thuk in.Huchiin, kou na mite, na gan tatna muna belamten, khantawnin kipahthu ka honhilh ding uhi: suan tengteng tanin nangmah phatna tuh ka theisak jel ding uhi.

¹³So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.

¹³Huchiin, kou na mite, na gan tatna muna belamten, khantawnin kipahthu ka honhilh ding uhi: suan tengteng tanin nangmah phatna tuh ka theisak jel ding uhi.
