< Amahubo 126 >

1 Ingoma yemiqanso. Kwathi lapho uThixo ebuyisa izithunjwa eZiyoni, sasinjengabantu abaphuphayo.
A song of ascents. When Yahweh restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.
2 Imilomo yethu yayigcwele ngohleko, lezindimi zethu zicula izingoma zentokozo. Basebesithi abezizwe, “UThixo ubenzele izinto ezimangalisayo.”
Then our mouths were filled with laughter and our tongues with singing. Then they said among the nations, “Yahweh has done great things for them.”
3 UThixo usenzele izinto ezimangalisayo, ngakho siyathokoza kakhulu.
Yahweh did great things for us; how glad we were!
4 Buyisa ukuphumelela kwethu, Oh Thixo, njengemifula eseNegebi.
Restore our fortunes, Yahweh, like the streams in the Negev.
5 Labo abahlanyela ngezinyembezi bazavuna ngezingoma zentokozo.
Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
6 Lowo ophuma ekhala, ethwele inhlanyelo ukuba ayehlanyela uzabuya ngezingoma zentokozo, ethwele izinyanda.
He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will return again with shouts of joy, bringing his bundles of grain with him.
