Psalmi 126

1 Svētku dziesma. Kad Tas Kungs atkal atveda Ciānas cietumniekus, tad mēs bijām tā kā kas sapņus redz;

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. When the Lord brought his people back from captivity to Zion, it was as if we were dreaming!

2 Tad mūsu mute bija pilna smiešanās un mūsu mēle pilna gavilēšanas; tad sacīja starp pagāniem: Tas Kungs lielas lietas pie šiem ir darījis.

We laughed so much, we sang for joy. The other nations said, “The Lord has done wonderful things for these people.”

3 Tas Kungs lielas lietas pie mums ir darījis, par to priecājamies.

The Lord certainly has done wonderful things for us. How happy we were!

4 Ak Kungs, atved atpakaļ mūsu cietumniekus, kā upes dienvidu zemē!

Please return and help us again, Lord. Renew us like streams of water that renew the Negev desert.

5 Kas ar asarām sēj, ar gavilēšanu pļaus;

Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy!

6 Tie aiziet un raud, dārgu sēklu nesdami, bet tiešām ar prieku tie atkal nāks un nesīs savus kūlīšus.

Those who weep as they go out to sow their seed will be singing in celebration when they carry the harvest home.
