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.

Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Mukama bwe yakomyawo abawaŋŋanguse ba Sayuuni, twafaanana ng’abaloota.

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!”

Olwo akamwa kaffe ne kajjula enseko, ne nnimi zaffe ne ziyimba ennyimba ez’essanyu. Amawanga ne gagamba nti, “Mukama abakoledde ebikulu.”

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

Mukama atukoledde ebikulu, kyetuvudde tusanyuka.

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.

Otuzze obuggya, Ayi Mukama, tufaanane ng’emigga egikulukutira mu lusenyi.

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.

Abo abasiga nga bakaaba amaziga, baliyimba ennyimba ez’essanyu nga bakungula.

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].

Oyo agenda ng’akaaba ng’atwala ensigo okusiga; alikomawo ng’ayimba ennyimba ez’essanyu ng’aleeta ebinywa bye.
