Zaburi 126

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

A Song of Ascents. When Yahweh brought back the captives of Zion, we were like them who 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 a shout of triumph, —Then, said they among the nations, Yahweh, hath done great things, with these!

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

Yahweh, hath done great things with us, we are full of joy!

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

Bring thou back, O Yahweh, our captives, like channels in the South.

5 Wale wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa kelele za furaha.

They who are sowing with tears, with shouting, shall reap:

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

He that, doth indeed go forth, and weep, bearing seed enough to trail along, doth, surely come in, with shouting, bringing his sheaves.
