Psalmi 126

1 Hodočasnička pjesma. Kad Jahve vraćaše sužnjeve sionske, bilo nam je k'o da snivamo.

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. In YHWH’s turning back [to] the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.

2 Usta nam bjehu puna smijeha, a jezik klicanja. Među poganima tad se govorilo: “Velika im djela Jahve učini!”

Then our mouth is filled [with] laughter, And our tongue [with] singing, Then they say among nations, “YHWH did great things with these.”

3 Velika nam djela učini Jahve: opet smo radosni!

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

4 Vrati, o Jahve, sužnjeve naše k'o potoke negepske!

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

5 Oni koji siju u suzama, žanju u pjesmi.

Those sowing in tears, reap with singing,

6 Išli su plačući noseći sjeme sjetveno: vraćat će se s pjesmom, noseći snoplje svoje.

Whoever goes on and weeps, Carrying the basket of seed, Surely comes in with singing, carrying his sheaves!
