Masalimo 126

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

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

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

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

3 Yehova watichitira zinthu zazikulu, ndipo tadzazidwa ndi chimwemwe.

The LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad.

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

Restore our fortunes again, LORD, like the streams in the Negev.

5 Iwo amene amafesa akulira, adzakolola akuyimba nyimbo zachimwemwe.

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

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

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