Psalms 126

1 A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those that returned to Zion, we were like unto them that dream.

Hodočasnička pjesma. Kad Jahve vraćaše sužnjeve sionske, bilo nam je k'o da snivamo.

2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing; then said they among the nations: 'The LORD hath done great things with these.'

Usta nam bjehu puna smijeha, a jezik klicanja. Među poganima tad se govorilo: “Velika im djela Jahve učini!”

3 The LORD hath done great things with us; we are rejoiced.

Velika nam djela učini Jahve: opet smo radosni!

4 Turn our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the dry land.

Vrati, o Jahve, sužnjeve naše k'o potoke negepske!

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Oni koji siju u suzama, žanju u pjesmi.

6 Though he goeth on his way weeping that beareth the measure of seed, he shall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves.

Išli su plačući noseći sjeme sjetveno: vraćat će se s pjesmom, noseći snoplje svoje.
