Tingtoeng 126

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

[A Song of Ascents.] When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who 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 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 Mamih ham aka saii BOEIPA he a khuet dongah kohoe la ng'om uh.

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

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

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

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

Those who sow in tears will reap in 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.

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