Psalms 126

1 A Song of the Ascents. In Jehovah's turning back [to] the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.

Lapho iNkosi ibuyisa abathunjiweyo beZiyoni, saba njengabaphuphayo.

2 Then filled [with] laughter is our mouth, And our tongue [with] singing, Then do they say among nations, 'Jehovah did great things with these.'

Umlomo wethu wasugcwala uhleko, lolimi lwethu ukuhlabelela. Basebesithi phakathi kwezizwe: INkosi ibenzele izinto ezinkulu.

3 Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful.

INkosi isenzele izinto ezinkulu; siyathokoza.

4 Turn again, O Jehovah, [to] our captivity, As streams in the south.

Buyisa, Nkosi, ukuthunjwa kwethu, njengezifula zeningizimu.

5 Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap,

Abahlanyela ngezinyembezi bazavuna ngentokozo.

6 Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!

Yena ohamba ahambe ekhala inyembezi, ephethe inhlanyelo yokuhlanyela, isibili uzabuya ethokoza, ethwele inyanda zakhe.
