Psalms 126

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

Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Mukama bwe yakomyawo abawaŋŋanguse ba Sayuuni, twafaanana ng’abaloota.

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

Olwo akamwa kaffe ne kajjula enseko, ne nnimi zaffe ne ziyimba ennyimba ez’essanyu. Amawanga ne gagamba nti, “Mukama abakoledde ebikulu.”

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

Mukama atukoledde ebikulu, kyetuvudde tusanyuka.

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

Otuzze obuggya, Ayi Mukama, tufaanane ng’emigga egikulukutira mu lusenyi.

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Abo abasiga nga bakaaba amaziga, baliyimba ennyimba ez’essanyu nga bakungula.

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

Oyo agenda ng’akaaba ng’atwala ensigo okusiga; alikomawo ng’ayimba ennyimba ez’essanyu ng’aleeta ebinywa bye.
