Psalms 126

1 A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Sion, we became as comforted ones.

Bwana alipowarejesha mateka wa Sayuni, tulikuwa kama waotao ndoto.

2 Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exultation: then would they say among the Gentiles,

Vinywa vyetu vilijawa na vicheko na ndimi zetu zilijawa na kuimba. Kisha wakasema kati ya mataifa, “Yahwe amewatendea mambo makuu.”

3 The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful.

Yahwe alitufanyia mambo makuu; ni furaha gani tuliyokuwa nayo!

4 Turn, O Lord, our captivity, as the steams in the south.

Ee Yahwe, uwarejeshe mateka wetu, kama vijito vya kusini.

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Wale wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa kelele za furaha.

6 They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exultation, bringing their sheaves [with them].

Yeye aendaye akilia, akibeba mbegu kwa ajili a kupanda, atarudi tena kwa kelele za furaha, akileta miganda yake.
