Thaburi 126

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. In YHWH’s turning back [to] the captivity of Zion, We have been as 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 our mouth is filled [with] laughter, And our tongue [with] singing, Then they say among nations, “YHWH did great things with these.”

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

YHWH did great things with us, We have been joyful.

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

Turn again, O YHWH, [to] our captivity, As streams in the south.

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

Those sowing in tears, reap with singing,

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

Whoever goes on and weeps, Carrying the basket of seed, Surely comes in with singing, carrying his sheaves!
