Psalms 126

1 A song of ascents. When Yahweh restored the fortunes of 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 mouths were filled with laughter and our tongues with singing. Then they said among the nations, “Yahweh 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 Yahweh did great things for us; how glad we were!

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

4 Restore our fortunes, Yahweh, like the 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, carrying seed for sowing, will return again with shouts of joy, bringing his bundles of grain with him.

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.
