詩篇 126

1 ヱホバ、シオンの俘囚をかへしたまひし時 われらは夢みるもののごとくなりき

[A Song of Ascents.] When YHWH brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

2 そのとき笑はわれらの口にみち歌はわれらの舌にみてり ヱホバかれらのために大なることを作たまへりといへる者もろもろの國のなかにありき

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, "YHWH has done great things for them."

3 ヱホバわれらのために大なることをなしたまひたれば我儕はたのしめり

YHWH has done great things for us, and we are glad.

4 ヱホバよ願くはわれらの俘囚をみなみの川のごとくに歸したまへ

Restore our fortunes again, YHWH, like the streams in the Negev.

5 涙とともに播くものは歡喜とともに穫らん

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

6 その人は種をたづさへ涙をながしていでゆけど禾束をたづさへ喜びてかへりきたらん

He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
