Zaburi 126

1 Bwana alipowarejesha mateka wa Sayuni, tulikuwa kama waotao ndoto.

When Jehovah brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

2 Vinywa vyetu vilijawa na vicheko na ndimi zetu zilijawa na kuimba. Kisha wakasema kati ya mataifa, “Yahwe amewatendea mambo makuu.”

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, Jehovah has done great things for them.

3 Yahwe alitufanyia mambo makuu; ni furaha gani tuliyokuwa nayo!

Jehovah has done great things for us. We are glad.

4 Ee Yahwe, uwarejeshe mateka wetu, kama vijito vya kusini.

Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the South.

5 Wale wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa kelele za furaha.

Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 Yeye aendaye akilia, akibeba mbegu kwa ajili a kupanda, atarudi tena kwa kelele za furaha, akileta miganda yake.

He who goes forth and weeps, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves.
