Zaburi 126

1 Wer ma ji wero kadhi e hekalu. Kane Jehova Nyasaye odwogo joma otwe Sayun, to ne ochalonwa mana lek.

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 Ne wathungʼ gi nyiero kendo dhowa nopongʼ gi wende mor. Eka nowachore e dier ogendini niya, “Jehova Nyasaye osetimonegi gik madongo.”

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 Adier, Jehova Nyasaye osetimonwa gik madongo, omiyo wamor mokalo.

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

4 Duognwa gigewa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, mondo wachal gi aore man Negev.

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 Joma komo kodhi kaywak biro keyo ka wero wende mor.

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 Ngʼat madhi oko kaywak, kotingʼo kodhi mikomo, biro duogo ka wero wende mor, kotingʼo cham mosechiek.

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].
