Psalms 126

1 When Yahweh brought [us Israeli people] back to Jerusalem (OR, enabled us Israelis to prosper again), [it was wonderful]; it seemed as though [SIM] we were dreaming.

上主帶領俘虜回到熙雍，我們覺得仿佛是在夢中；

2 We were extremely happy, and we [SYN] continued shouting joyfully. Then the [other] people-groups said about us, “Yahweh has done great things for them!”

那時我們滿口喜氣盈盈，我們雙脣其樂融融。那時外邦異民讚歎不已：上主向他們行了何等奇事！

3 [And we say, “Yes], Yahweh [truly] has done great things for us, and we are [very] happy.”

上主向我們行偉大奇蹟，我們的確覺得滿心歡喜。

4 Yahweh, when it rains, water flows in the streams again [after they were dry] [SIM]. Similarly, enable our nation to become great again like it was before.

上主，求您轉變我們的命運！就像乃革布有流水的澆淋。

5 We cried when we planted [seeds because it was hard work preparing the soil that had not been plowed for many years]; [now we want to] shout joyfully because we are gathering a [big] harvest.

含淚播種的人，必含笑的收成；

6 Those who cried as they carried the [bags of] seeds [to the fields] will shout joyfully when they bring the crops [to their houses at harvest time].

他們邊行邊哭，出去播種耕耘，他們載欣載奔，回來背著禾捆。
