Psalms 126

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. When ye Lord brought againe the captiuitie of Zion, we were like them that dreame.

Lapho iNkosi ibuyisa abathunjiweyo beZiyoni, saba njengabaphuphayo.

2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with ioye: then sayd they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.

Umlomo wethu wasugcwala uhleko, lolimi lwethu ukuhlabelela. Basebesithi phakathi kwezizwe: INkosi ibenzele izinto ezinkulu.

3 The Lord hath done great things for vs, whereof we reioyce.

INkosi isenzele izinto ezinkulu; siyathokoza.

4 O Lord, bring againe our captiuitie, as the riuers in the South.

Buyisa, Nkosi, ukuthunjwa kwethu, njengezifula zeningizimu.

5 They that sowe in teares, shall reape in ioy.

Abahlanyela ngezinyembezi bazavuna ngentokozo.

6 They went weeping and caried precious seede: but they shall returne with ioye and bring their sheaues.

Yena ohamba ahambe ekhala inyembezi, ephethe inhlanyelo yokuhlanyela, isibili uzabuya ethokoza, ethwele inyanda zakhe.
