Tingtoeng 126

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

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. When the Lord brought his people back from captivity to Zion, it was as if we were dreaming!

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.

We laughed so much, we sang for joy. The other nations said, “The Lord has done wonderful things for these people.”

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

The Lord certainly has done wonderful things for us. How happy we were!

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

Please return and help us again, Lord. Renew us like streams of water that renew the Negev desert.

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

Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts 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.

Those who weep as they go out to sow their seed will be singing in celebration when they carry the harvest home.
