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.

Пісня сходження. Коли повертав Господь полон Сіону, ми були ніби уві сні.

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!”

Тоді наповнилися вуста наші сміхом і язик наш – вигуками радості. Тоді говорили серед народів: «Великі діяння звершив Господь для них!»

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

«Великі діяння звершив Господь для нас!» – раділи ми.

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.

Поверни ж, Господи, наших бранців, як потоки в Неґеві.

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.

Ті, що зі сльозами сіють, з радісними піснями будуть жати.

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].

Хто ходить і плачучи несе торбину з насінням, неодмінно повернеться з радісним співом, несучи свої снопи.
