Tingtoeng 126

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

A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again 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 heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.

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

The LORD hath done great things for us; [whereof] we are glad.

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

Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

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

They that 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.

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves [with him].
