Psalms 126

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

Bwana alipowarejesha mateka wa Sayuni, tulikuwa kama waotao 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 vilijawa na vicheko na ndimi zetu zilijawa na kuimba. Kisha wakasema kati ya mataifa, “Yahwe amewatendea mambo makuu.”

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

Yahwe alitufanyia mambo makuu; ni furaha gani tuliyokuwa nayo!

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

Ee Yahwe, uwarejeshe mateka wetu, kama vijito vya kusini.

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

Wale wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa kelele za furaha.

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 aendaye akilia, akibeba mbegu kwa ajili a kupanda, atarudi tena kwa kelele za furaha, akileta miganda yake.
