Psalms 126

1 [A Song of Ascents.] When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

Ingoma yemiqanso. Kwathi lapho uThixo ebuyisa izithunjwa eZiyoni, sasinjengabantu abaphuphayo.

2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."

Imilomo yethu yayigcwele ngohleko, lezindimi zethu zicula izingoma zentokozo. Basebesithi abezizwe, “UThixo ubenzele izinto ezimangalisayo.”

3 The LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad.

UThixo usenzele izinto ezimangalisayo, ngakho siyathokoza kakhulu.

4 Restore our fortunes again, LORD, like the streams in the Negev.

Buyisa ukuphumelela kwethu, Oh Thixo, njengemifula eseNegebi.

5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

Labo abahlanyela ngezinyembezi bazavuna ngezingoma zentokozo.

6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

Lowo ophuma ekhala, ethwele inhlanyelo ukuba ayehlanyela uzabuya ngezingoma zentokozo, ethwele izinyanda.
