< Psalms 126 >
1 A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Sion, we became as comforted ones.
Svētku dziesma. Kad Tas Kungs atkal atveda Ciānas cietumniekus, tad mēs bijām tā kā kas sapņus redz;
2 Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exultation: then would they say among the Gentiles,
Tad mūsu mute bija pilna smiešanās un mūsu mēle pilna gavilēšanas; tad sacīja starp pagāniem: Tas Kungs lielas lietas pie šiem ir darījis.
3 The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful.
Tas Kungs lielas lietas pie mums ir darījis, par to priecājamies.
4 Turn, O Lord, our captivity, as the steams in the south.
Ak Kungs, atved atpakaļ mūsu cietumniekus, kā upes dienvidu zemē!
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Kas ar asarām sēj, ar gavilēšanu pļaus;
6 They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exultation, bringing their sheaves [with them].
Tie aiziet un raud, dārgu sēklu nesdami, bet tiešām ar prieku tie atkal nāks un nesīs savus kūlīšus.
