Saam 126

1 Kasang laa. Angraeng mah Zion kaminawk hoih let naah, kaicae loe amang baktiah ni ka oh o.

A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

2 Kaicae ih pakhanawk loe pahnuihaih hoiah koi moe, palainawk doeh anghoe laasakhaih hoiah koi o; to naah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah, Angaeng mah nihcae hanah kalen parai hmuen sak pae boeh, tiah thuih o.

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

3 Angraeng mah aicae hanah kalen parai hmuennawk to sak boeh, to pongah aicae loe anghoehaih hoiah koi o.

The LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad.

4 Aw Angraeng, misong ah naeh ih kaicae hae, aloih bang ih vacongnawk baktiah, amlaemsak let ah.

Restore our fortunes again, LORD, like the streams in the Negev.

5 Mikkhraetui hoi tuh kaminawk loe, anghoehaih hoiah aat o tih.

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

6 Qahhaih hoi atho kaom, cangtii tuk hanah caeh kaminawk loe, cangqui to sin o ueloe, anghoehaih hoiah amlaem o let tih.

He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
