Sam 126

1 kathutkung: panuekhoeh A man awh teh a hrawi awh e Zioncanaw hah BAWIPA ni bout a ban sak toteh, kai teh mang ka mang e patetlah ka o.

“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 Hat toteh, kaimae pahni teh panuinae hoi thoseh, kaimae lai teh, la saknae hoi thoseh a kawi han. Ayânaw niteh, BAWIPA ni ahnimouh hanelah hno kalen a sak pouh toe, telah miphunnaw rahak vah a dei awh.

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 BAWIPA ni kaimouh hanlah hno kalen a sak toe. Kaimouh teh ka lunghawi awh.

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

4 Oe BAWIPA, a man awh teh, a hrawi awh e kaimanaw hah, Negeb e palangtui patetlah bout tho sak haw.

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

5 Mitphi tui hoi cati katunaw ni lunghawi la sak laihoi a a awh han.

They who sow in tears Shall reap in joy.

6 Cati ka phawt niteh, tha thout laipalah, khuika laihoi ka tâcawt e tami teh, cabongnaw hrawm vaiteh, lunghawi la sak laihoi bout a ban katang han.

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