Zaburi 126

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

A Song of Ascents. When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

2 Vinywa vyetu vilijaa kicheko, ndimi zetu zilijaa nyimbo za shangwe. Ndipo iliposemwa miongoni mwa mataifa, “Bwana amewatendea mambo makuu.”

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said amongst the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

3 Bwana ametutendea mambo makuu, nasi tumejaa furaha.

The LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad.

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

Restore our fortunes again, LORD, like the streams in the Negev.

5 Wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa nyimbo za shangwe.

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

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

He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
