Halelu 126

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

A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. When ye Lord brought againe the captiuitie of Zion, we were like them that dreame.

2 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.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with ioye: then sayd they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.

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

The Lord hath done great things for vs, whereof we reioyce.

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

O Lord, bring againe our captiuitie, as the riuers in the South.

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

They that sowe in teares, shall reape in ioy.

6 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.

They went weeping and caried precious seede: but they shall returne with ioye and bring their sheaues.
