Psalms 126

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

Rwiyo rworwendo. Jehovha paakadzosa vatapwa kuZioni, takanga tava savanhu vairota.

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

Miromo yedu yakanga izere nokuseka, ndimi dzedu dzizere nenziyo dzomufaro. Ipapo zvakanzi pakati pendudzi, “Jehovha akavaitira zvinhu zvikuru.”

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

Jehovha atiitira zvinhu zvikuru, uye tazara nomufaro.

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

Tidzorereizve nhaka yedu, imi Jehovha, sehova dzeNegevhi.

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Avo vanodyara nemisodzi vachakohwa nenziyo dzomufaro.

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

Uyo anobuda achichema, akatakura mbeu yokudyara, achadzoka nenziyo dzomufaro, akatakura zvisote.
