Zaburi 126

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

A song of ascents. When Yahweh restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.

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 and our tongues with singing. Then they said among the nations, “Yahweh has done great things for them.”

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

Yahweh did great things for us; how glad we were!

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

Restore our fortunes, Yahweh, like the 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, carrying seed for sowing, will return again with shouts of joy, bringing his bundles of grain with him.
