詩篇 126

1 都もうでの歌 主がシオンの繁栄を回復されたとき、われらは夢みる者のようであった。

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 その時われらの口は笑いで満たされ、われらの舌は喜びの声で満たされた。その時「主は彼らのために大いなる事をなされた」と言った者が、もろもろの国民の中にあった。

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 主はわれらのために大いなる事をなされたので、われらは喜んだ。

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

4 主よ、どうか、われらの繁栄を、ネゲブの川のように回復してください。

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 涙をもって種まく者は、喜びの声をもって刈り取る。

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 種を携え、涙を流して出て行く者は、束を携え、喜びの声をあげて帰ってくるであろう。

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].
