Psalms 126

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. When the Lord brought his people back from captivity to Zion, it was as if we were dreaming!

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

2 We laughed so much, we sang for joy. The other nations said, “The Lord has done wonderful things for these people.”

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

3 The Lord certainly has done wonderful things for us. How happy we were!

Mukama atukoledde ebikulu, kyetuvudde tusanyuka.

4 Please return and help us again, Lord. Renew us like streams of water that renew the Negev desert.

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

5 Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy!

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

6 Those who weep as they go out to sow their seed will be singing in celebration when they carry the harvest home.

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