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.

Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Tango Yawe azongisaki bato ya Siona longwa na bowumbu, tozalaki lokola bato oyo bazali kolota ndoto.

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!”

Boye, tozalaki koganga mpe koyemba na esengo. Bongo, maloba oyo ekomaki kolobama kati na bikolo: « Yawe asaleli bango makambo minene! »

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

Solo, Yawe asaleli biso makambo minene, mpe tozali kosepela.

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.

Yawe, yaka kobongisa makambo na biso ndenge kaka otondisaka lisusu miluka ya Negevi.

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.

Bato oyo balonaka na mpinzoli babukaka na banzembo ya esengo.

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].

Moto oyo akendaka na kolela, tango amemi milona na ye, azongaka na esengo wana amemi maboke na ye.
