Psalms 126

1 “A song of the degrees.” When the Lord bringeth back again the captivity of Zion, then shall we be like dreamers.

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

2 Then shall our mouth be filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then shall they say among the nations, Great things hath the Lord done for these.

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

3 Great things would the Lord have done for us, [whereat] we should be joyful.

Velika nam djela učini Jahve: opet smo radosni!

4 Bring back again, O Lord, our captivity, like rivulets in arid land.

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

5 Those that sow in tears shall reap with joyful song.

Oni koji siju u suzama, žanju u pjesmi.

6 He goeth forth indeed and weepeth, that beareth the seed for sowing; but he will surely come with joyful song when he beareth [home] his sheaves.

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