Rau txem rua cov Yixayee

¹Yixayee 'e, tsw xob xyiv faab,
tsw xob zoo sab xyiv faab le ib tsoom tuabneeg,
tsua qhov koj moog deev luas
es tso koj tug Vaajtswv tseg.
Mej suavdawg nyam cov nam ndav tej nqe ndav

²Tej tshaav ntaus qoob
hab tej qhov tsuam kua txwv maab
yuav tsw txaus yug puab,
hab tej cawv txwv maab tshab
yuav tu ncua.
³Puab yuav tsw tau nyob

Efa‑i yuav rov moog rua Iyi tebchaws,
hab puab yuav noj tej kws qas tsw huv
rua huv Axilia tebchaws.
⁴Puab yuav tsw laub cawv txwv maab xyeem rua Yawmsaub,
Puab yuav tsw tua tsaj xyeem
ua rua Yawmsaub txaus sab.
Puab tej mov noj yuav zoo le tej mov paam tuag,
leejtwg noj lawm yuav qas tsw huv.
Puab tej mov noj tsuas yog daws puab kev tshaib xwb,
yuav coj moog tsw txug Yawmsaub lub tuam tsev.

⁵Mej yuav ua le caag

hab nub kws ua kevcai noj haus rua Yawmsaub?
⁶Txawm yog puab tswv dim kev puam tsuaj,
los Iyi yuav sau zog puab ca,

Zaub kis yuav tuaj laum puab tej
hov txhua chaw tswm txaj kws xuas nyaj ua,
hab xuav paug yuav tuaj laum nkaus

⁷Nub kws teem txem lug txug lawm,

Tug xwbfwb cev lug mas ruag kawg
hab tug kws muaj Vaaj Ntsuj Plig kuj vwm lawm,

⁸Tug xwbfwb cev lug ua tug faaj xwm

⁹Puab ua phem ua qas kawg

Vaajtswv yuav ncu ntsoov puab tej kev txhum,
nwg yuav rau txem rua puab.

¹⁰“Thaus kuv ntswb Yixayee mas zoo yaam le

Thaus kuv pum mej tej laug mas zoo yaam le

Tassws puab tuaj cuag Npa‑aa ntawm Pe‑au,

¹¹Efa‑i lub koob meej yuav yaa plawg yaam le noog yaa,

¹²Txawm yog puab tu mivnyuas hlub lawm

Puab yuav raug txom nyem

¹³Lawv le kuv pum, Efa‑i tej tub ki

¹⁴Au Yawmsaub thov pub rua puab.
Koj yuav pub daabtsw rua puab?
Thov pub lub plaab pob mivnyuas
hab pub lub txwv mig kws qhuav rua puab.

¹⁵“Puab txhua yaam kev phem nyob huv lub moos Kilakaa.
Kuv chiv ntxub puab lub chaw ntawd.
Kuv yuav ntab puab tawm huv kuv lub tsev
vem yog tim tej kev limham kws puab ua.
Kuv yuav tsw hlub puab dua le lawm,

¹⁶Efa‑i raug muab ua puam tsuaj lawm,

Txawm yog puab yug tau tub ki,
los kuv yuav muab tej tub ki
kws puab hlub hov tua pov tseg.”
¹⁷Kuv tug Vaajtswv yuav muab puab laim pov tseg,
tsua qhov puab tsw noog nwg lug.
Puab yuav ua tuabneeg loj leeb
rua huv ib tsoom tebchaws.
