1 When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion,

we were like those who dream.

2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,

and our tongue with singing.

Then they said among the nations,

"Yahweh has done great things for them."

3 Yahweh has done great things for us,

and we are glad.

4 Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh,

like the streams in the Negev.

5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing,

will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

1 Grádicsok éneke.

2 Akkor megtelt a szánk nevetéssel, nyelvünk pedig vígadozással. Akkor így szóltak a pogányok: Hatalmasan cselekedett ezekkel az Úr!

3 Hatalmasan cselekedett velünk az Úr, azért örvendezünk.

4 Hozd vissza, Uram, a mi foglyainkat, mint patakokat a déli földön!

5 A kik könyhullatással vetnek, vígadozással aratnak majd.

6 A ki vetõmagját sírva emelve megy tova, vígadozással jõ elõ, kévéit emelve.
