< Mga Awit 126 >
1 Nang dalhin muli ng Panginoon yaong nangagbalik sa Sion, tayo ay gaya niyaong nangananaginip.
A song of ascents. When the Lord turned the fortunes of Zion, we were like dreamers.
2 Nang magkagayo'y napuno ang bibig natin ng pagtawa, at ang dila natin ng awit: nang magkagayo'y sinabi nila sa gitna ng mga bansa, Ginawan (sila) ng Panginoon ng mga dakilang bagay.
Then was our mouth filled with laughter, our tongue with glad shouts; then among the nations they said, “The Lord has dealt greatly with them.”
3 Ginawan tayo ng Panginoon ng mga dakilang bagay; na siyang ating ikinatutuwa.
The Lord had dealt greatly with us, and we were rejoicing.
4 Papanumbalikin mo uli ang aming nangabihag, Oh Panginoon, na gaya ng mga batis sa Timugan.
Turn our fortunes, O Lord, as the streams in the Negreb.
5 (Sila) na nagsisipaghasik na may luha ay magsisiani na may kagalakan.
They who sow in tears shall reap with glad shouts.
6 Siyang lumalabas at umiiyak, na nagdadala ng binhing itatanim; siya'y di sasalang babalik na may kagalakan, na dala ang kaniyang mga tangkas.
Forth they fare, with their burden of seed, and they weep as they go. But home, home, with glad shouts they shall come with their arms full of sheaves.
