Psalms 126

1 A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.

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

2 Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD 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 The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.

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

4 Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.

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

5 Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.

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

6 He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.

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.
