Zaburi 126

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

When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.

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

Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them.

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

The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.

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

Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.

5 Wale wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa kelele za furaha.

They that 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.

Going they went and wept, casting their seeds. But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.
