La Bu 126

1 Pakai in sohchang hochu Jerusalem a ahinlepuilut kitphatchun, hichu mangtoh abang jengin ahi!

A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

2 Keiho lungnachim tah’a nuinan kadimset jingun, kipahtah’in la kasauve. Hichun chidang namdang hon asei un, “Pakai in thilloupi kidangtah chu aboldohpeh tauve” atiuve.

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said amongst the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

3 Adih’e, Pakai in thilloupi kidangtah chu eiboldoh pehtauve! Iti kipa uma hitam!

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

4 Neldi gam a twilonglut hon athah semkit bangin O Pakai kanei kagouhou hinkiledoh sah kittan.

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

5 Mitlhi long pum pum a muchituten, kipah thanomtah’a aga akilodiu ahi.

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

6 Kapjing pum a atuding muchi kipoh’a vaikonten, aga hinkipoh pum pum in kipahle thanomtah’in hung kileuhen.

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