Zaburi 126

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

A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. When ye Lord brought againe the captiuitie of Zion, we were like them that dreame.

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 ioye: then sayd they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.

3 Bwana ametutendea mambo makuu, nasi tumejaa furaha.

The Lord hath done great things for vs, whereof we reioyce.

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

O Lord, bring againe our captiuitie, as the riuers in the South.

5 Wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa nyimbo za shangwe.

They that sowe in teares, shall reape in ioy.

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

They went weeping and caried precious seede: but they shall returne with ioye and bring their sheaues.
