Psalms 126

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

Orin fún ìgòkè. Nígbà tí Olúwa mú ìkólọ Sioni padà, àwa dàbí ẹni tí ó ń lá àlá.

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.’

Nígbà náà ni ẹnu wa kún fún ẹ̀rín, àti ahọ́n wa kọ orin; nígbà náà ni wọ́n wí nínú àwọn kèfèrí pé, Olúwa ṣe ohun ńlá fún wọn.

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

Olúwa ṣe ohun ńlá fún wa; nítorí náà àwa ń yọ̀.

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

Olúwa mú ìkólọ wa padà, bí ìṣàn omi ní gúúsù.

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

Àwọn tí ń fi omijé fún irúgbìn yóò fi ayọ̀ ka.

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.

Ẹni tí ń fi ẹkún rìn lọ, tí ó sì gbé irúgbìn lọ́wọ́, lóòtítọ́, yóò fi ayọ̀ padà wá, yóò sì ru ìtí rẹ̀.
