Psalms 126

1 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

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

2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, 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; whereof we are glad.

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

4 Return our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

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

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

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

6 He that goes forth and weeps, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves 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.
