Zaburi 126

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” When the LORD brought back 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 singing. Then said they among the nations, “The LORD hath done great things for them!”

3 Bwana ametutendea mambo makuu, nasi tumejaa furaha.

Yea, the LORD hath done great things for us, For which we are glad.

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

Bring back, O LORD! our captivity, Like streams in the South!

5 Wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa nyimbo za shangwe.

They who 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.

Yea, he goeth forth weeping, bearing his seed; He shall surely come back rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.
