Tingtoeng 126

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like them that 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 was our mouth filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing. Then said they among the nations, “The LORD hath done great things for them!”

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

Yea, the LORD hath done great things for us, For which we are glad.

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

Bring back, O LORD! our captivity, Like streams in the South!

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

They who sow in tears Shall 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.

Yea, he goeth forth weeping, bearing his seed; He shall surely come back rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.
