Masalimo 126

1 Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Yehova atabwezera akapolo ku Ziyoni, tinali ngati amene akulota.

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

2 Pakamwa pathu panadzaza ndi kuseka; malilime athu ndi nyimbo zachimwemwe. Pamenepo kunanenedwa pakati pa anthu kuti, “Yehova wawachitira zinthu zazikulu.”

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, Yhwh hath done great things for them.

3 Yehova watichitira zinthu zazikulu, ndipo tadzazidwa ndi chimwemwe.

Yhwh hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

4 Tibwezereni madalitso athu, Inu Yehova, monga mitsinje ya ku Negevi.

Turn again our captivity, O Yhwh, as the streams in the south.

5 Iwo amene amafesa akulira, adzakolola akuyimba nyimbo zachimwemwe.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 Iye amene amayendayenda nalira, atanyamula mbewu yokafesa, adzabwerera akuyimba nyimbo zachimwemwe, atanyamula mitolo yake.

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
