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.

Une chanson d'ascension. Lorsque Yahvé ramena ceux qui étaient revenus à Sion, nous étions comme ceux qui rêvent.

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!”

Et notre bouche s'est remplie de rires, et notre langue avec des chants. Alors on dit parmi les nations, « Yahvé a fait de grandes choses pour eux. »

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

Yahvé a fait de grandes choses pour nous, et nous sommes heureux.

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.

Rétablis notre fortune, Yahvé, comme les ruisseaux du Néguev.

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.

Ceux qui sèment dans les larmes récolteront dans la joie.

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].

Celui qui s'en va en pleurant, portant de la semence pour semer, reviendra certainement avec joie, portant ses gerbes.
