1Palveteekonna laul. Kui Issand tõi tagasi Siioni vangid, siis olime nagu unenägijad.
1When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
2Siis oli meie suu täis naeru ja meie keel täis hõiskamist, siis öeldi paganarahvaste seas: 'Issand on neile suuri asju teinud!'
2Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “Yahweh has done great things for them.”
3Issand on meile suuri asju teinud, me oleme rõõmsad.
3Yahweh has done great things for us, and we are glad.
4Issand, too tagasi meie vangid, nagu veeojad Lõunamaal!
4Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh, like the streams in the Negev.
5Kes silmaveega külvavad, lõikavad hõiskamisega.
5Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
6Kes minnes kõnnib nuttes, kui ta külviseemet kannab, see tuleb ja hõiskab, kandes oma vihke.
6He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
