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!

Bwana alipowarejesha mateka wa Sayuni, tulikuwa kama waotao ndoto.

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

Vinywa vyetu vilijawa na vicheko na ndimi zetu zilijawa na kuimba. Kisha wakasema kati ya mataifa, “Yahwe amewatendea mambo makuu.”

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

Yahwe alitufanyia mambo makuu; ni furaha gani tuliyokuwa nayo!

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

Ee Yahwe, uwarejeshe mateka wetu, kama vijito vya kusini.

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

Wale wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa kelele za furaha.

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

Yeye aendaye akilia, akibeba mbegu kwa ajili a kupanda, atarudi tena kwa kelele za furaha, akileta miganda yake.
