Psalms 126

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. When the Lord brought his people back from captivity to Zion, it was as if we were dreaming!

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

2 We laughed so much, we sang for joy. The other nations said, “The Lord has done wonderful things for these people.”

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

3 The Lord certainly has done wonderful things for us. How happy we were!

Velika nam djela učini Jahve: opet smo radosni!

4 Please return and help us again, Lord. Renew us like streams of water that renew the Negev desert.

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

5 Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy!

Oni koji siju u suzama, žanju u pjesmi.

6 Those who weep as they go out to sow their seed will be singing in celebration when they carry the harvest home.

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