Psalms 126

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

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

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.

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

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

UThixo usenzele izinto ezimangalisayo, ngakho siyathokoza kakhulu.

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

Buyisa ukuphumelela kwethu, Oh Thixo, njengemifula eseNegebi.

5 They that sow in tears shall reap with rejoicing:

Labo abahlanyela ngezinyembezi bazavuna ngezingoma zentokozo.

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

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