Psalms 126

1 A Song of Degrees. When the Lord turned the captivity of Sion, we became as comforted ones.

Nkunga wunyimbudulu mu nzila yi kuendila ku nzo Yave. Mu thangu Yave kavutula batu bakangama ku Sioni, tuba banga batu banlota zindozi.

2 Then was our mouth filled with joy, and our tongue with exultation: then would they say among the Gentiles,

Miunu mieto miba miwala masevo; ludimi lueto minkunga mi khini. Buna batuba muidi makanda ti: “Yave wuba vangidi mambu manneni.”

3 The Lord has done great things among them. The Lord has done great things for us, we became joyful.

Yave wutuvangidi mambu manneni; ayi khini yitufulukidi.

4 Turn, O Lord, our captivity, as the steams in the south.

Vutula diaka kimvuama kieto, a Yave; banga bina bimila bi minlangu ku Nengevi.

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Bobo beti kuna ayi matsuela mu meso, bela vedila mu minkunga mi khini.

6 They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exultation, bringing their sheaves [with them].

Wuntotukanga ku nganda ayi matsuela mu meso; wunatanga mbongo mu kuna; weti vutuka ayi minkunga mi khini mu natanga mimvumba mi biti.
