Mapisarema 126

1 Rwiyo rworwendo. Jehovha paakadzosa vatapwa kuZioni, takanga tava savanhu vairota.

A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. When ye Lord brought againe the captiuitie of Zion, we were like them that dreame.

2 Miromo yedu yakanga izere nokuseka, ndimi dzedu dzizere nenziyo dzomufaro. Ipapo zvakanzi pakati pendudzi, “Jehovha akavaitira zvinhu zvikuru.”

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with ioye: then sayd they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.

3 Jehovha atiitira zvinhu zvikuru, uye tazara nomufaro.

The Lord hath done great things for vs, whereof we reioyce.

4 Tidzorereizve nhaka yedu, imi Jehovha, sehova dzeNegevhi.

O Lord, bring againe our captiuitie, as the riuers in the South.

5 Avo vanodyara nemisodzi vachakohwa nenziyo dzomufaro.

They that sowe in teares, shall reape in ioy.

6 Uyo anobuda achichema, akatakura mbeu yokudyara, achadzoka nenziyo dzomufaro, akatakura zvisote.

They went weeping and caried precious seede: but they shall returne with ioye and bring their sheaues.
