Zaburi 126

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

A song of ascents. When the Lord turned the fortunes of Zion, we were like dreamers.

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, our tongue with glad shouts; then among the nations they said, “The Lord has dealt greatly with them.”

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

The Lord had dealt greatly with us, and we were rejoicing.

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

Turn our fortunes, O Lord, as the streams in the Negreb.

5 Wale wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa kelele za furaha.

They who sow in tears shall reap with glad shouts.

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

Forth they fare, with their burden of seed, and they weep as they go. But home, home, with glad shouts they shall come with their arms full of sheaves.
