Psalmi 126

1 Svētku dziesma. Kad Tas Kungs atkal atveda Ciānas cietumniekus, tad mēs bijām tā kā kas sapņus redz;

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

2 Tad mūsu mute bija pilna smiešanās un mūsu mēle pilna gavilēšanas; tad sacīja starp pagāniem: Tas Kungs lielas lietas pie šiem ir darījis.

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 Tas Kungs lielas lietas pie mums ir darījis, par to priecājamies.

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

4 Ak Kungs, atved atpakaļ mūsu cietumniekus, kā upes dienvidu zemē!

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

5 Kas ar asarām sēj, ar gavilēšanu pļaus;

They who sow in tears shall reap with glad shouts.

6 Tie aiziet un raud, dārgu sēklu nesdami, bet tiešām ar prieku tie atkal nāks un nesīs savus kūlīšus.

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.
