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.

Cantique des degrés.

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!”

Alors notre bouche fut remplie de chants de joie, et notre langue de cris d’exultation. Alors on dira parmi les nations: Le Seigneur a magnifiquement agi avec eux.

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

Le Seigneur a magnifiquement agi avec nous: nous sommes devenus pleins de joie.

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.

Faites revenir, Seigneur, notre captivité, comme le torrent au midi.

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 moissonneront dans l’exultation.

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].

Allant, ils allaient et pleuraient, jetant leurs semences: Mais, venant, ils venaient avec exultation, portant leurs gerbes.
