Thaburi 126

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

A Song of Ascents. When Yahweh brought back the captives of Zion, we were like them who dream:

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, was our mouth, filled with laughter, and our tongue with a shout of triumph, —Then, said they among the nations, Yahweh, hath done great things, with these!

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

Yahweh, hath done great things with us, we are full of joy!

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

Bring thou back, O Yahweh, our captives, like channels in the South.

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

They who are sowing with tears, with shouting, shall reap:

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

He that, doth indeed go forth, and weep, bearing seed enough to trail along, doth, surely come in, with shouting, bringing his sheaves.
