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 restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.

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 filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was 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; we are filled with joy.

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

Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.

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.

He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
