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!

Nkunga wunyimbudulu mu nzila yi kuendila ku nzo Yave. Mu thangu Yave kavutula batu bakangama ku Sioni, tuba banga batu banlota zindozi.

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

Miunu mieto miba miwala masevo; ludimi lueto minkunga mi khini. Buna batuba muidi makanda ti: “Yave wuba vangidi mambu manneni.”

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

Yave wutuvangidi mambu manneni; ayi khini yitufulukidi.

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

Vutula diaka kimvuama kieto, a Yave; banga bina bimila bi minlangu ku Nengevi.

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

Bobo beti kuna ayi matsuela mu meso, bela vedila mu minkunga mi khini.

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

Wuntotukanga ku nganda ayi matsuela mu meso; wunatanga mbongo mu kuna; weti vutuka ayi minkunga mi khini mu natanga mimvumba mi biti.
