Zaburi 126

1 Bwana alipowarejesha mateka wa Sayuni, tulikuwa kama waotao ndoto.

A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Sion, we became as comforted ones.

2 Vinywa vyetu vilijawa na vicheko na ndimi zetu zilijawa na kuimba. Kisha wakasema kati ya mataifa, “Yahwe amewatendea mambo makuu.”

Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exultation: then would they say among the Gentiles,

3 Yahwe alitufanyia mambo makuu; ni furaha gani tuliyokuwa nayo!

The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful.

4 Ee Yahwe, uwarejeshe mateka wetu, kama vijito vya kusini.

Turn, O Lord, our captivity, as the steams in the south.

5 Wale wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa kelele za furaha.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 Yeye aendaye akilia, akibeba mbegu kwa ajili a kupanda, atarudi tena kwa kelele za furaha, akileta miganda yake.

They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exultation, bringing their sheaves [with them].
