Psalmien 126

1 Veisu korkeimmassa Kuorissa. Koska Herra päästää Zionin vangit, niin me olemme niinkuin unta näkeväiset.

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.

2 Silloin meidän suumme naurulla täytetään, ja kielemme on täynnä riemua; silloin sanotaan pakanoissa: Herra on suuria heidän kohtaansa tehnyt.

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!”

3 Herra on suuria tehnyt meidän kohtaamme: siitä me olemme iloiset.

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

4 Herra! käännä meidän vankiutemme, niinkuin virrat etelässä.

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.

5 Jotka kyyneleillä kylvävät, ne ilolla niittävät.

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.

6 He menevät matkaan ja itkevät, ja vievät ulos kalliin siemenen, ja tulevat riemulla, ja tuovat lyhteensä.

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].
