Tingtoeng 126

1 Tangtlaeng laa BOEIPA loh Zion hlangsol te ham mael puei vaengah mang man bangla ka om uh.

A Song of the going up. When the Lord made a change in Zion's fate, we were like men in a dream.

2 Te vaengah mamih ka ah nueihbu neh mamih lai ah tamlung khaw bae. Te dongah namtom taengah, “He he aka saii ham khaw BOEIPA tah khuet pai,” a ti uh.

Then our mouths were full of laughing, and our tongues gave a glad cry; they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them.

3 Mamih ham aka saii BOEIPA he a khuet dongah kohoe la ng'om uh.

The Lord has done great things for us; because of which we are glad.

4 BOEIPA aw kaimih thongtla thongla te tuithim kah sokca bangla mael sak lah.

Let our fate be changed, O Lord, like the streams in the South.

5 Mikphi neh aka tawn rhoek loh tamlung neh a ah uh ni.

Those who put in seed with weeping will get in the grain with cries of joy.

6 Cet rhoe cet tih rhah doeah cangtii rhovoep aka phuei tah a cangpa pawn doela tamlung neh ha mael rhoe ha mael ni.

Though a man may go out weeping, taking his vessel of seed with him; he will come again in joy, with the corded stems of grain in his arms.
