Psalmi 126

1 Hodočasnička pjesma. Kad Jahve vraćaše sužnjeve sionske, bilo nam je k'o da snivamo.

When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.

2 Usta nam bjehu puna smijeha, a jezik klicanja. Među poganima tad se govorilo: “Velika im djela Jahve učini!”

Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them.

3 Velika nam djela učini Jahve: opet smo radosni!

The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.

4 Vrati, o Jahve, sužnjeve naše k'o potoke negepske!

Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.

5 Oni koji siju u suzama, žanju u pjesmi.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 Išli su plačući noseći sjeme sjetveno: vraćat će se s pjesmom, noseći snoplje svoje.

Going they went and wept, casting their seeds. But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.
