< 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.
Matkalaulu. Kun Herra käänsi Siionin kohtalon, niin me olimme kuin unta näkeväiset.
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!”
Silloin oli meidän suumme naurua täynnä, ja kielemme riemua täynnä; silloin sanottiin pakanain keskuudessa: "Herra on tehnyt suuria heitä kohtaan".
3 [And we say, “Yes], Yahweh [truly] has done great things for us, and we are [very] happy.”
Niin, Herra on tehnyt suuria meitä kohtaan; siitä me iloitsemme.
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.
Herra, käännä meidän kohtalomme, niinkuin sadepurot Etelämaassa.
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.
Jotka kyynelin kylvävät, ne riemuiten leikkaavat.
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].
He menevät itkien, kun kylvösiemenen vievät; he palajavat riemuiten, kun lyhteensä tuovat.
