Zaburi 126

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

A Song of degrees. When Jehovah turned the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

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

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with rejoicing: then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.

3 Bwana ametutendea mambo makuu, nasi tumejaa furaha.

Jehovah hath done great things for us; [and] we are joyful.

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

Turn our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the south.

5 Wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa nyimbo za shangwe.

They that sow in tears shall reap with rejoicing:

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

He goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for scattering; he cometh again with rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.
