Psalms 126

1 When Jehovah brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

I A Iehova i hoihoi mai ai i ka pio ana o Ziona, Like no kakou me ka poe moe uhane.

2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, Jehovah has done great things for them.

Alaila, piha no ko kakou waha i ka akaaka, A me ko kakou alelo i ka hauoli; Alaila, olelo no lakou iwaena o ko na aina e, Nani na mea a Iehova i hana mai ai no lakou la.

3 Jehovah has done great things for us. We are glad.

Ua nani no na mea a Iehova i hana mai ai no kakou; A ua lealea kakou malaila.

4 Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the South.

E Iehova, e hoihoi oe i ko makou pio ana, E like me na kahawai, ma ke kukuluhema.

5 Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.

O ka poe lulu me na waimaka, E hoiliili lakou me ka hauoli.

6 He who goes forth and weeps, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves.

He oiaio, o ka mea hele, a uwe, I kona lawe ana i ka hua e lulu ai, He oiaio no, e hoi mai oia me ka hauoli, E amo pu ana i kona mau pua.
