Psalms 126

1 A song of ascents. When the LORD restored the captives of Zion, we were like dreamers.

1 Bwana alipowarejeza mateka Sayuni, tulikuwa kama watu walioota ndoto.

2 Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

2 Vinywa vyetu vilijaa kicheko, ndimi zetu zilijaa nyimbo za shangwe. Ndipo iliposemwa miongoni mwa mataifa, “Bwana amewatendea mambo makuu.”

3 The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.

3 Bwana ametutendea mambo makuu, nasi tumejaa furaha.

4 Restore our captives, O LORD, like streams in the Negev.

4 Ee Bwana, turejeshee watu wetu waliotekwa, kama vijito katika Negebu.

5 Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.

5 Wapandao kwa machozi watavuna kwa nyimbo za shangwe.

6 He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.

6 Yeye azichukuaye mbegu zake kwenda kupanda, huku akilia, atarudi kwa nyimbo za shangwe, akichukua miganda ya mavuno yake.
