Zaburi 126

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

A Song of Ascents. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like unto 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.

The LORD hath done great things for us; [whereof] we are glad.

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

Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams 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.

Though he goeth on his way weeping, bearing forth the seed; he shall come again with joy, bringing his sheaves [with him].
