Psalms 126

1 A song of ascents. When Yahweh restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.

Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Bwana alipowarejeza mateka Sayuni, tulikuwa kama watu walioota ndoto.

2 Then our mouths were filled with laughter and our tongues with singing. Then they said among the nations, “Yahweh has done great things for them.”

Vinywa vyetu vilijaa kicheko, ndimi zetu zilijaa nyimbo za shangwe. Ndipo iliposemwa miongoni mwa mataifa, “Bwana amewatendea mambo makuu.”

3 Yahweh did great things for us; how glad we were!

Bwana ametutendea mambo makuu, nasi tumejaa furaha.

4 Restore our fortunes, Yahweh, like the streams in the Negev.

Ee Bwana, turejeshee watu wetu waliotekwa, kama vijito katika Negebu.

5 Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.

Wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa nyimbo za shangwe.

6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will return again with shouts of joy, bringing his bundles of grain with him.

Yeye azichukuaye mbegu zake kwenda kupanda, huku akilia, atarudi kwa nyimbo za shangwe, akichukua miganda ya mavuno yake.
