Zaburi 126

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

“A song of the degrees.” When the Lord bringeth back again the captivity of Zion, then shall we be like dreamers.

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

Then shall our mouth be filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then shall they say among the nations, Great things hath the Lord done for these.

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

Great things would the Lord have done for us, [whereat] we should be joyful.

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

Bring back again, O Lord, our captivity, like rivulets in arid land.

5 Wale wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa kelele za furaha.

Those that sow in tears shall reap with joyful song.

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

He goeth forth indeed and weepeth, that beareth the seed for sowing; but he will surely come with joyful song when he beareth [home] his sheaves.
