Zaburi 126

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

When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.

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 gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them.

3 Bwana ametutendea mambo makuu, nasi tumejaa furaha.

The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.

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

Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.

5 Wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa nyimbo za shangwe.

They that 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.

Going they went and wept, casting their seeds. But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.
