Zaburi 126

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

A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.

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

Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

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

The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.

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

Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.

5 Wale wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa kelele za furaha.

Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.

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

He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.
