Zaburi 126

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

A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Sion, we became as comforted ones.

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 joy, and our tongue with exultation: then would they say among the Gentiles,

3 Bwana ametutendea mambo makuu, nasi tumejaa furaha.

The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful.

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

Turn, O Lord, our captivity, as the steams 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.

They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exultation, bringing their sheaves [with them].
