Sòm 126

1 Se yon chante pou yo chante lè y'ap moute lavil Jerizalèm. Lè Seyè a te fè moun Siyon yo te depòte yo tounen lakay yo, se tankou si nou te nan rèv: Nou pa t' vle kwè se te vre!

A Song of the going up. When the Lord made a change in Zion's fate, we were like men in a dream.

2 Ala ri nou te ri! Ala chante nou te chante tèlman nou te kontan! Lè sa a, lòt nasyon yo t'ap di: -Seyè a fè anpil bèl bagay pou yo!

Then our mouths were full of laughing, and our tongues gave a glad cry; they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them.

3 Wi, li tè fè anpil bèl bagay pou nou, sa te fè kè nou kontan anpil.

The Lord has done great things for us; because of which we are glad.

4 Seyè, tanpri, fè moun yo te fè prizonye yo tounen nan peyi yo, menm jan lapli ou fè larivyè ki te sèk la koule ankò.

Let our fate be changed, O Lord, like the streams in the South.

5 Moun ki simen ak dlo nan je ap rekòlte ak kè kontan.

Those who put in seed with weeping will get in the grain with cries of joy.

6 Moun ki t'ap kriye lè yo t'aprale avèk grenn pou yo simen nan jaden yo, y'ap tounen ak bèl chante nan bouch yo sitèlman yo kontan lè y'ap pote rekòt la lakay yo.

Though a man may go out weeping, taking his vessel of seed with him; he will come again in joy, with the corded stems of grain in his arms.
