Psalms 126

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. When the Lord brought his people back from captivity to Zion, it was as if we were dreaming!

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

2 We laughed so much, we sang for joy. The other nations said, “The Lord has done wonderful things for these people.”

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 certainly has done wonderful things for us. How happy we were!

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

4 Please return and help us again, Lord. Renew us like streams of water that renew the Negev desert.

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 Those who weep as they go out to sow their seed will be singing in celebration when they carry the harvest home.

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.
