Zaburi 126

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

A Canticle in steps. When the Lord turned back the captivity of Zion, we became like those who are consoled.

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 gladness and our tongue with exultation. Then they will say 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 have become joyful.

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

Convert our captivity, O Lord, like a torrent in the south.

5 Wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa nyimbo za shangwe.

Those who sow in tears shall reap in exultation.

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

When departing, they went forth and wept, sowing their seeds. But when returning, they will arrive with exultation, carrying their sheaves.
