Salamo 126

1 Fihirana fiakarana.

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

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

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

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 Izay mamafy am-pitomaniana Dia hijinja am-pifaliana.

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

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].
