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 Yahweh brought back the captives of Zion, we were like them who dream:

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, and our tongue with a shout of triumph, —Then, said they among the nations, Yahweh, hath done great things, with these!

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

Yahweh, hath done great things with us, we are full of joy!

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

Bring thou back, O Yahweh, our captives, like channels in the South.

5 涙とともに播くものは歡喜とともに穫らん

They who are sowing with tears, with shouting, shall reap:

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

He that, doth indeed go forth, and weep, bearing seed enough to trail along, doth, surely come in, with shouting, bringing his sheaves.
