Zsoltárok 126

1 Grádicsok éneke. Mikor visszahozta az Úr Sionnak foglyait, olyanok voltunk, mint az álmodók.

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

2 Akkor megtelt a szánk nevetéssel, nyelvünk pedig vígadozással. Akkor így szóltak a pogányok: Hatalmasan cselekedett ezekkel az Úr!

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 Hatalmasan cselekedett velünk az Úr, azért örvendezünk.

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

4 Hozd vissza, Uram, a mi foglyainkat, mint patakokat a déli földön!

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

5 A kik könyhullatással vetnek, vígadozással aratnak majd.

They who sow in tears shall reap with glad shouts.

6 A ki vetőmagját sírva emelve megy tova, vígadozással jő elő, kévéit emelve.

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.
