Žalmy 126

1 Píseň stupňů. Když zase vedl Hospodin zajaté Sionské, zdálo se nám to jako ve snách.

When Yahweh brought [us Israeli people] back to Jerusalem (OR, enabled us Israelis to prosper again), [it was wonderful]; it seemed as though [SIM] we were dreaming.

2 Tehdážť byla plná radosti ústa naše, a jazyk náš plésání; tehdáž pravili mezi národy: Veliké věci s nimi učinil Hospodin.

We were extremely happy, and we [SYN] continued shouting joyfully. Then the [other] people-groups said about us, “Yahweh has done great things for them!”

3 Učinilť jest s námi veliké věci Hospodin, a protož veselili jsme se.

[And we say, “Yes], Yahweh [truly] has done great things for us, and we are [very] happy.”

4 Uvediž zase, ó Hospodine, zajaté naše, tak jako potoky na vyprahlou krajinu.

Yahweh, when it rains, water flows in the streams again [after they were dry] [SIM]. Similarly, enable our nation to become great again like it was before.

5 Ti, kteříž se slzami rozsívali, s prozpěvováním žíti budou.

We cried when we planted [seeds because it was hard work preparing the soil that had not been plowed for many years]; [now we want to] shout joyfully because we are gathering a [big] harvest.

6 Sem i tam chodící lid s pláčem rozsívá drahé símě, ale potom přijda, s plésáním snášeti bude snopy své.

Those who cried as they carried the [bags of] seeds [to the fields] will shout joyfully when they bring the crops [to their houses at harvest time].
