1Pieseň na cestu hore do Jeruzalema. Keď viedol Hospodin zpät zajatých Siona, bolo nám to tak, ako keby sa nám bolo snívalo.
1A Song of the Ascents. In Jehovah`s turning back [to] the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.
2Vtedy boly naše ústa naplnené smiechom a náš jazyk plesaním. Vtedy povedali medzi národami: Veliké veci učinil s nimi Hospodin!
2Then filled [with] laughter is our mouth, And our tongue [with] singing, Then do they say among nations, `Jehovah did great things with these.`
3Áno, Hospodin učinil s nami veľké veci, a preto sme sa radovali.
3Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful.
4Navráť, Hospodine, našich zajatých ako potoky na juhu.
4Turn again, O Jehovah, [to] our captivity, As streams in the south.
5Tí, ktorí sejú so slzami, budú žať s plesaním.
5Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap,
6Ta ide pomaly a plače ten, kto rozsieva semeno, ale potom istotne prijde s plesaním nesúc svoje snopy.
6Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!
