< Psalms 126 >
1 A Song of Ascents. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like unto them that dream.
Hodočasnička pjesma. Kad Jahve vraćaše sužnjeve sionske, bilo nam je k'o da snivamo.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the nations, The LORD hath done great things for them.
Usta nam bjehu puna smijeha, a jezik klicanja. Među poganima tad se govorilo: “Velika im djela Jahve učini!”
3 The LORD hath done great things for us; [whereof] we are glad.
Velika nam djela učini Jahve: opet smo radosni!
4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the South.
Vrati, o Jahve, sužnjeve naše k'o potoke negepske!
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Oni koji siju u suzama, žanju u pjesmi.
6 Though he goeth on his way weeping, bearing forth the seed; he shall come again with joy, bringing his sheaves [with him].
Išli su plačući noseći sjeme sjetveno: vraćat će se s pjesmom, noseći snoplje svoje.
