1Pieseň na cestu hore do Jeruzalema. Keď viedol Hospodin zpät zajatých Siona, bolo nám to tak, ako keby sa nám bolo snívalo.
1When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
2Vtedy boly naše ústa naplnené smiechom a náš jazyk plesaním. Vtedy povedali medzi národami: Veliké veci učinil s nimi Hospodin!
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.”
3Áno, Hospodin učinil s nami veľké veci, a preto sme sa radovali.
3Yahweh has done great things for us, and we are glad.
4Navráť, Hospodine, našich zajatých ako potoky na juhu.
4Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh, like the streams in the Negev.
5Tí, ktorí sejú so slzami, budú žať s plesaním.
5Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
6Ta ide pomaly a plače ten, kto rozsieva semeno, ale potom istotne prijde s plesaním nesúc svoje snopy.
6He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
