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.

سرود زائران به هنگام بالا رفتن به اورشلیم. هنگامی که خداوند ما را از اسارت به اورشلیم باز آورد، فکر کردیم که خواب می‌بینیم!

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!”

سپس دهان ما از خنده پر شد و سرود شادی سر دادیم! آنگاه قومهای دیگر دربارهٔ ما گفتند: «خداوند برای بنی‌اسرائیل کارهای شگفت‌انگیز کرده است!»

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

آری خداوندا، تو برای ما کارهای شگفت‌انگیز کرده‌ای و ما شادمانیم!

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.

ای خداوند، آنچه را از دست داده‌ایم به ما بازگردان؛ چنانکه باران، آب را به زمین خشک باز می‌گرداند.

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.

بگذار آنانی که با اشک می‌کارند، با شادی درو کنند!

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].

کسانی که با گریه بیرون رفته بذر می‌افشانند، با شادی محصول خود را باز خواهند آورد.
