Zaburi 126

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

A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.

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

Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

3 Bwana ametutendea mambo makuu, nasi tumejaa furaha.

The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.

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

Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.

5 Wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa nyimbo za shangwe.

Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.

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

He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
