Zaburi 126

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

WHEN the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

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 laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.

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

The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

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

Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams 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.

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