Zaburi 126

1 Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Bwana alipowarejeza mateka Sayuni, tulikuwa kama watu walioota ndoto.

When Jehovah brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

2 Vinywa vyetu vilijaa kicheko, ndimi zetu zilijaa nyimbo za shangwe. Ndipo iliposemwa miongoni mwa mataifa, “Bwana amewatendea mambo makuu.”

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, Jehovah has done great things for them.

3 Bwana ametutendea mambo makuu, nasi tumejaa furaha.

Jehovah has done great things for us. We are glad.

4 Ee Bwana, turejeshee watu wetu waliotekwa, kama vijito katika Negebu.

Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the South.

5 Wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa nyimbo za shangwe.

Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 Yeye azichukuaye mbegu zake kwenda kupanda, huku akilia, atarudi kwa nyimbo za shangwe, akichukua miganda ya mavuno yake.

He who goes forth and weeps, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves.
