Psalms 126

1 A Song of Ascents. When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

Ko e Hiva ʻae ʻalu hake. ‌ʻI he toe liliu ʻe Sihova ʻae pōpula ʻo Saione, naʻa tau tatau mo kinautolu ʻoku misi.

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

Pea naʻe toki fakapito ʻaki hotau ngutu ʻae kata, mo hotau ʻelelo ʻi he hiva: pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe he hiteni, “Kuo fai ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi maʻanautolu.”

3 Yahweh has done great things for us, and we are glad.

Kuo fai ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi maʻatautolu; pea ʻoku tau fiefia ai.

4 Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh, like the streams in the Negev.

‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke toe liliu ʻemau pōpula, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi vaitafe ʻi he feituʻu tonga.

5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

Ko kinautolu ʻoku tūtuuʻi ʻi he loʻimata te nau tuʻusi ʻi he fiefia.

6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

Ko ia ʻoku ne ʻalu atu ʻo tangi, pea ʻave ʻae tenga mahuʻinga, te ne toe haʻu ʻi he fiefia, mo ʻomi ʻene ngaahi ū uite fakataha mo ia.
