Salamo 126

1 Fihirana fiakarana.

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 Fahizay dia feno hehy ny vavantsika Sy fihobiana ny lelantsika; Dia natao tany amin’ ny Jentilisa hoe: Zava-dehibe no nataon’ i Jehovah ho an’ ireny.

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

3 Eny, zava-dehibe no nataon’ i Jehovah ho antsika, Ka dia faly isika.

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

4 Tanteraho, Jehovah ô, ny ham-podiana anay avy amin’ ny fahababoana, Tahaka ny fiverenan’ ny riaka any amin’ ny tany atsimo.

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

5 Izay mamafy am-pitomaniana Dia hijinja am-pifaliana.

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

6 Mandeha mitomany mitondra ny voa afafiny izy, Fa hiverina mitondra ny amboarany amin’ ny fihobiana kosa.

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