Zaburi 126

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

A Song of the Ascents. In Jehovah'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 filled [with] laughter is our mouth, And our tongue [with] singing, Then do they say among nations, 'Jehovah did great things with these.'

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

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

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

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

5 Wale wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa kelele za furaha.

Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap,

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

Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!
