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 turned the fortunes 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 was our mouth filled with laughter, our tongue with glad shouts; then among the nations they said, ‘The Lord has dealt greatly with them.’

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

The Lord had dealt greatly with us, and we were rejoicing.

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

Turn our fortunes, O Lord, as the streams in the Negreb.

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

They who sow in tears shall reap with glad shouts.

6 Cet rhoe cet tih rhah doeah cangtii rhovoep aka phuei tah a cangpa pawn doela tamlung neh ha mael rhoe ha mael ni.

Forth they fare, with their burden of seed, and they weep as they go. But home, home, with glad shouts they shall come with their arms full of sheaves.
