Psalms 126

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

Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Bwana alipowarejeza mateka Sayuni, tulikuwa kama watu walioota ndoto.

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.

Vinywa vyetu vilijaa kicheko, ndimi zetu zilijaa nyimbo za shangwe. Ndipo iliposemwa miongoni mwa mataifa, “Bwana amewatendea mambo makuu.”

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

Bwana ametutendea mambo makuu, nasi tumejaa furaha.

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

Ee Bwana, turejeshee watu wetu waliotekwa, kama vijito katika Negebu.

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

Wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa nyimbo za shangwe.

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.

Yeye azichukuaye mbegu zake kwenda kupanda, huku akilia, atarudi kwa nyimbo za shangwe, akichukua miganda ya mavuno yake.
