Psalms 126

1 A Song of the going up. When the Lord made a change in Zion's fate, we were like men in a dream.

Ingoma yemiqanso. Kwathi lapho uThixo ebuyisa izithunjwa eZiyoni, sasinjengabantu abaphuphayo.

2 Then our mouths were full of laughing, and our tongues gave a glad cry; they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them.

Imilomo yethu yayigcwele ngohleko, lezindimi zethu zicula izingoma zentokozo. Basebesithi abezizwe, “UThixo ubenzele izinto ezimangalisayo.”

3 The Lord has done great things for us; because of which we are glad.

UThixo usenzele izinto ezimangalisayo, ngakho siyathokoza kakhulu.

4 Let our fate be changed, O Lord, like the streams in the South.

Buyisa ukuphumelela kwethu, Oh Thixo, njengemifula eseNegebi.

5 Those who put in seed with weeping will get in the grain with cries of joy.

Labo abahlanyela ngezinyembezi bazavuna ngezingoma zentokozo.

6 Though a man may go out weeping, taking his vessel of seed with him; he will come again in joy, with the corded stems of grain in his arms.

Lowo ophuma ekhala, ethwele inhlanyelo ukuba ayehlanyela uzabuya ngezingoma zentokozo, ethwele izinyanda.
