Thaburi 126

1 Thaburi ya Agendi Rĩrĩa Jehova aacookirie andũ a Zayuni arĩa maatahĩtwo akĩmainũkia-rĩ, twahaanire ta andũ mekũroota.

“A song of the degrees.” When the Lord bringeth back again the captivity of Zion, then shall we be like dreamers.

2 Tũnua twitũ twaiyũrire mĩtheko, nacio nĩmĩ ciitũ ikĩina nyĩmbo cia gĩkeno. Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ gũkĩĩranwo atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩekĩire andũ aya maũndũ manene.”

Then shall our mouth be filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then shall they say among the nations, Great things hath the Lord done for these.

3 Jehova nĩatwĩkĩire maũndũ manene, na ithuĩ tũkaiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno.

Great things would the Lord have done for us, [whereat] we should be joyful.

4 Tũma tũgaacĩre rĩngĩ, Wee Jehova, ta ũrĩa njũũĩ cia Negevu icookaga kũiyũra.

Bring back again, O Lord, our captivity, like rivulets in arid land.

5 Andũ arĩa mahaandaga na maithori, nĩmakagetha makĩinaga nyĩmbo cia gĩkeno.

Those that sow in tears shall reap with joyful song.

6 Mũndũ o na angiumagara akĩrĩraga, akuuĩte mbeũ cia kũhaanda, agaacooka akĩinaga nyĩmbo cia gĩkeno, akuuĩte itĩĩa ciake cia ngano.

He goeth forth indeed and weepeth, that beareth the seed for sowing; but he will surely come with joyful song when he beareth [home] his sheaves.
