Zaburi 126

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. In YHWH’s turning back [to] the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.

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

Then our mouth is filled [with] laughter, And our tongue [with] singing, Then they say among nations, “YHWH did great things with these.”

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

YHWH did great things with us, We have been joyful.

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

Turn again, O YHWH, [to] our captivity, As streams in the south.

5 Wale wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa kelele za furaha.

Those sowing in tears, reap with singing,

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

Whoever goes on and weeps, Carrying the basket of seed, Surely comes in with singing, carrying his sheaves!
