Psalms 126

1 A song of ascents. When the Lord turned the fortunes of Zion, we were like dreamers.

Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Tango Yawe azongisaki bato ya Siona longwa na bowumbu, tozalaki lokola bato oyo bazali kolota ndoto.

2 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.’

Boye, tozalaki koganga mpe koyemba na esengo. Bongo, maloba oyo ekomaki kolobama kati na bikolo: « Yawe asaleli bango makambo minene! »

3 The Lord had dealt greatly with us, and we were rejoicing.

Solo, Yawe asaleli biso makambo minene, mpe tozali kosepela.

4 Turn our fortunes, O Lord, as the streams in the Negreb.

Yawe, yaka kobongisa makambo na biso ndenge kaka otondisaka lisusu miluka ya Negevi.

5 They who sow in tears shall reap with glad shouts.

Bato oyo balonaka na mpinzoli babukaka na banzembo ya esengo.

6 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.

Moto oyo akendaka na kolela, tango amemi milona na ye, azongaka na esengo wana amemi maboke na ye.
