Psalms 126

1 When Yahweh brought [us Israeli people] back to Jerusalem (OR, enabled us Israelis to prosper again), [it was wonderful]; it seemed as though [SIM] we were dreaming.

Yon chan pou monte vè tanp lan Lè SENYÈ a te fè mennen tounen kaptif Sion yo, nou te tankou (sila) ki fè rèv yo.

2 We were extremely happy, and we [SYN] continued shouting joyfully. Then the [other] people-groups said about us, “Yahweh has done great things for them!”

Nan lè sa a, bouch nou te plen ak ri lajwa e lang nou avèk kri lajwa. Konsa, yo te di pami nasyon yo: “SENYÈ a te fè gwo bagay pou yo.”

3 [And we say, “Yes], Yahweh [truly] has done great things for us, and we are [very] happy.”

SENYÈ a te fè gwo bagay yo pou nou. Nou kontan.

4 Yahweh, when it rains, water flows in the streams again [after they were dry] [SIM]. Similarly, enable our nation to become great again like it was before.

Fè retounen kaptif nou yo, O SENYÈ, kon rivyè nan dezè a.

5 We cried when we planted [seeds because it was hard work preparing the soil that had not been plowed for many years]; [now we want to] shout joyfully because we are gathering a [big] harvest.

(Sila) ki simen ak dlo nan zye yo Va rekòlte avèk gwo kri lajwa.

6 Those who cried as they carried the [bags of] seeds [to the fields] will shout joyfully when they bring the crops [to their houses at harvest time].

(Sila) ki soti ap kriye akoz chàj makout semans lan. Men l ap retounen ankò ak kri lajwa, akoz chàj pakèt rekòlt l ap pote a.
