Psalmi 126

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

“A song of the degrees.” When the Lord bringeth back again the captivity of Zion, then shall we be like dreamers.

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

Then shall our mouth be filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then shall they say among the nations, Great things hath the Lord done for these.

3 Velika nam djela učini Jahve: opet smo radosni!

Great things would the Lord have done for us, [whereat] we should be joyful.

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

Bring back again, O Lord, our captivity, like rivulets in arid land.

5 Oni koji siju u suzama, žanju u pjesmi.

Those that sow in tears shall reap with joyful song.

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

He goeth forth indeed and weepeth, that beareth the seed for sowing; but he will surely come with joyful song when he beareth [home] his sheaves.
