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.

«Ωιδή των Αναβαθμών.» Ότε ο Κύριος επανέφερε τους αιχμαλώτους της Σιών, ήμεθα ως οι ονειρευόμενοι.

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!”

Τότε ενεπλήσθη το στόμα ημών από γέλωτος και η γλώσσα ημών από αγαλλιάσεως· τότε έλεγον μεταξύ των εθνών, Μεγαλεία έκαμε δι' αυτούς ο Κύριος.

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

Μεγαλεία έκαμεν ο Κύριος δι' ημάς· ενεπλήσθημεν χαράς.

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.

Επίστρεψον, Κύριε, τους αιχμαλώτους ημών, ως τους χειμάρρους εν τω νότω.

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.

Οι σπείροντες μετά δακρύων εν αγαλλιάσει θέλουσι θερίσει.

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].

Όστις εξέρχεται και κλαίει, βαστάζων σπόρον πολύτιμον, ούτος βεβαίως θέλει επιστρέψει εν αγαλλιάσει, βαστάζων τα χειρόβολα αυτού.
