Psalms 126

1 When Yahweh brought [us Israeli people] back to Jerusalem (OR, enabled us Israelis to prosper again), [it was wonderful]; it seemed as though [SIM] we were dreaming.

۱ سرود درجات چون خداوند اسیران صهیون را بازآورد، مثل خواب بینندگان شدیم.

2 We were extremely happy, and we [SYN] continued shouting joyfully. Then the [other] people-groups said about us, “Yahweh has done great things for them!”

۲ آنگاه دهان ما از خنده پر شد و زبان ما از ترنم. آنگاه در میان امتها گفتند که «خداوند با ایشان کارهای عظیم کرده است.»

3 [And we say, “Yes], Yahweh [truly] has done great things for us, and we are [very] happy.”

۳ خداوند برای ما کارهای عظیم کرده است که از آنها شادمان هستیم.

4 Yahweh, when it rains, water flows in the streams again [after they were dry] [SIM]. Similarly, enable our nation to become great again like it was before.

۴ ‌ای خداوند اسیران ما راباز آور، مثل نهرها در جنوب.

5 We cried when we planted [seeds because it was hard work preparing the soil that had not been plowed for many years]; [now we want to] shout joyfully because we are gathering a [big] harvest.

۵ آنانی که با اشکهامی کارند، با ترنم درو خواهند نمود.

6 Those who cried as they carried the [bags of] seeds [to the fields] will shout joyfully when they bring the crops [to their houses at harvest time].

۶ آنکه باگریه بیرون می‌رود و تخم برای زراعت می‌برد، هر آینه با ترنم خواهد برگشت و بافه های خویش را خواهد آورد.
