Psalms 126

1 When Jehovah brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

Lapho iNkosi ibuyisa abathunjiweyo beZiyoni, saba njengabaphuphayo.

2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, Jehovah has done great things for them.

Umlomo wethu wasugcwala uhleko, lolimi lwethu ukuhlabelela. Basebesithi phakathi kwezizwe: INkosi ibenzele izinto ezinkulu.

3 Jehovah has done great things for us. We are glad.

INkosi isenzele izinto ezinkulu; siyathokoza.

4 Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the South.

Buyisa, Nkosi, ukuthunjwa kwethu, njengezifula zeningizimu.

5 Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Abahlanyela ngezinyembezi bazavuna ngentokozo.

6 He who goes forth and weeps, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves.

Yena ohamba ahambe ekhala inyembezi, ephethe inhlanyelo yokuhlanyela, isibili uzabuya ethokoza, ethwele inyanda zakhe.
