Zaburi 126

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like them that dream.

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 laughter, And our tongue with singing. Then said they among the nations, “The LORD hath done great things for them!”

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

Yea, the LORD hath done great things for us, For which we are glad.

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

Bring back, O LORD! our captivity, Like streams in the South!

5 Wale wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa kelele za furaha.

They 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.

Yea, he goeth forth weeping, bearing his seed; He shall surely come back rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.
