Psalms 126

1 A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

Ingoma yemiqanso. Kwathi lapho uThixo ebuyisa izithunjwa eZiyoni, sasinjengabantu abaphuphayo.

2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.

Imilomo yethu yayigcwele ngohleko, lezindimi zethu zicula izingoma zentokozo. Basebesithi abezizwe, “UThixo ubenzele izinto ezimangalisayo.”

3 The LORD hath done great things for us; for which we are glad.

UThixo usenzele izinto ezimangalisayo, ngakho siyathokoza kakhulu.

4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

Buyisa ukuphumelela kwethu, Oh Thixo, njengemifula eseNegebi.

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Labo abahlanyela ngezinyembezi bazavuna ngezingoma zentokozo.

6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless return with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

Lowo ophuma ekhala, ethwele inhlanyelo ukuba ayehlanyela uzabuya ngezingoma zentokozo, ethwele izinyanda.
