< Psalms 126 >
1 A Song of Ascents. When Yahweh brought back the captives of Zion, we were like them who dream:
Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Tango Yawe azongisaki bato ya Siona longwa na bowumbu, tozalaki lokola bato oyo bazali kolota ndoto.
2 Then, was our mouth, filled with laughter, and our tongue with a shout of triumph, —Then, said they among the nations, Yahweh, hath done great things, with these!
Boye, tozalaki koganga mpe koyemba na esengo. Bongo, maloba oyo ekomaki kolobama kati na bikolo: « Yawe asaleli bango makambo minene! »
3 Yahweh, hath done great things with us, we are full of joy!
Solo, Yawe asaleli biso makambo minene, mpe tozali kosepela.
4 Bring thou back, O Yahweh, our captives, like channels in the South.
Yawe, yaka kobongisa makambo na biso ndenge kaka otondisaka lisusu miluka ya Negevi.
5 They who are sowing with tears, with shouting, shall reap:
Bato oyo balonaka na mpinzoli babukaka na banzembo ya esengo.
6 He that, doth indeed go forth, and weep, bearing seed enough to trail along, doth, surely come in, with shouting, bringing his sheaves.
Moto oyo akendaka na kolela, tango amemi milona na ye, azongaka na esengo wana amemi maboke na ye.
