Answer 2

This is a particular English/Anglo cultural expression. there isn't an precise translation.

You might say: hózhǫ́ náhásdlį́į́ʼ

It means:

"hózhǫ́ has been restored or comes back into being."

It is often said four times at the end of prayers or ceremonies or chants.

Hózhǫ́ is a word that does not have an exact English equivalent. It means all these English ideas rolled into one concept:

"Peace, beauty, harmony, balance, goodness, happiness, wholeness, contentment."

The marks above some vowels make them high tone, not stress or accent. Navajo is tonal and it changes meaning.

The marks under some vowels make them nasalized like as if there was an N or as in French "bon"

Zh is as in the middle of "pleasure"
