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.

Quando il Signore ricondusse i prigionieri di Sion, ci sembrava di sognare. Canto delle ascensioni.

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!”

Allora la nostra bocca si aprì al sorriso, la nostra lingua si sciolse in canti di gioia. Allora si diceva tra i popoli: «Il Signore ha fatto grandi cose per loro».

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

Grandi cose ha fatto il Signore per noi, ci ha colmati di gioia.

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.

Riconduci, Signore, i nostri prigionieri, come i torrenti del Negheb.

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.

Chi semina nelle lacrime mieterà con giubilo.

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].

Nell'andare, se ne va e piange, portando la semente da gettare, ma nel tornare, viene con giubilo, portando i suoi covoni.
