1{Pesem stopinj.} Ko je GOSPOD nazaj peljal jetnike sionske, nam je bilo kakor v sanjah.
1When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
2Tedaj so se smeha napolnila usta naša in jezik naš z radostnim petjem. Tedaj so rekli med pogani: Veličastne reči je ž njimi storil GOSPOD!
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.”
3Veličastne reči je storil z nami GOSPOD, veseli smo bili!
3Yahweh has done great things for us, and we are glad.
4Pripelji nazaj, o GOSPOD, jetnike naše kakor potoke v suho deželo!
4Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh, like the streams in the Negev.
5Kateri sejejo s solzami, z radostnim bodo želi petjem.Kdorkoli hodi semtertja z jokom, noseč seme za setev, vrne se domov z glasnim petjem, noseč snope svoje.
5Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
6Kdorkoli hodi semtertja z jokom, noseč seme za setev, vrne se domov z glasnim petjem, noseč snope svoje.
6He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
