Salamo 126

1 Fihirana fiakarana.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

They who sow in tears shall reap with glad shouts.

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

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.
