詩篇 126

1 ヱホバ、シオンの俘囚をかへしたまひし時 われらは夢みるもののごとくなりき

A song of ascents. When the Lord turned the fortunes of Zion, we were like dreamers.

2 そのとき笑はわれらの口にみち歌はわれらの舌にみてり ヱホバかれらのために大なることを作たまへりといへる者もろもろの國のなかにありき

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, our tongue with glad shouts; then among the nations they said, “The Lord has dealt greatly with them.”

3 ヱホバわれらのために大なることをなしたまひたれば我儕はたのしめり

The Lord had dealt greatly with us, and we were rejoicing.

4 ヱホバよ願くはわれらの俘囚をみなみの川のごとくに歸したまへ

Turn our fortunes, O Lord, as the streams in the Negreb.

5 涙とともに播くものは歡喜とともに穫らん

They who sow in tears shall reap with glad shouts.

6 その人は種をたづさへ涙をながしていでゆけど禾束をたづさへ喜びてかへりきたらん

Forth they fare, with their burden of seed, and they weep as they go. But home, home, with glad shouts they shall come with their arms full of sheaves.
