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.

京まうでの歌 ヱホバ、シオンの俘囚をかへしたまひし時 われらは夢みるもののごとくなりき

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!”

そのとき笑はわれらの口にみち歌はわれらの舌にみてり ヱホバかれらのために大なることを作たまへりといへる者もろもろの國のなかにありき

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

ヱホバわれらのために大なることをなしたまひたれば我儕はたのしめり

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.

ヱホバよ願くはわれらの俘囚をみなみの川のごとくに歸したまへ

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.

涙とともに播くものは歡喜とともに穫らん

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].

その人は種をたづさへ涙をながしていでゆけど禾束をたづさへ喜びてかへりきたらん
