Psalms 126

1 A Song of degrees. When Jehovah turned the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

Hodočasnička pjesma. Kad Jahve vraćaše sužnjeve sionske, bilo nam je k'o da snivamo.

2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with rejoicing: then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.

Usta nam bjehu puna smijeha, a jezik klicanja. Među poganima tad se govorilo: “Velika im djela Jahve učini!”

3 Jehovah hath done great things for us; [and] we are joyful.

Velika nam djela učini Jahve: opet smo radosni!

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

Vrati, o Jahve, sužnjeve naše k'o potoke negepske!

5 They that sow in tears shall reap with rejoicing:

Oni koji siju u suzama, žanju u pjesmi.

6 He goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for scattering; he cometh again with rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.

Išli su plačući noseći sjeme sjetveno: vraćat će se s pjesmom, noseći snoplje svoje.
