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!

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

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

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

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

Jehovha atiitira zvinhu zvikuru, uye tazara nomufaro.

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

Tidzorereizve nhaka yedu, imi Jehovha, sehova dzeNegevhi.

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

Avo vanodyara nemisodzi vachakohwa nenziyo dzomufaro.

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

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