Abụ Ọma 126

1 Abụ nrigo. Mgbe Onyenwe anyị kpọghachitere ndị e mere ka ha lọta na Zayọn, anyị dị ka ndị na-arọ nrọ.

A Canticle in steps. When the Lord turned back the captivity of Zion, we became like those who are consoled.

2 Ọchị juru anyị ọnụ, abụ ọṅụ jukwara anyị ire. Mgbe ahụ, e kwukwara ya na mba niile sị, “Onyenwe anyị emeerela ha ọtụtụ ihe dị ukwuu.”

Then our mouth was filled with gladness and our tongue with exultation. Then they will say among the nations: “The Lord has done great things for them.”

3 Onyenwe anyị emeerala anyị ọtụtụ ihe dị ukwuu, obi anyị jupụtakwara nʼọṅụ.

The Lord has done great things for us. We have become joyful.

4 Nyeghachi anyị akụnụba anyị, o Onyenwe anyị, dịka mmiri iyi na-asọ nʼala Negev.

Convert our captivity, O Lord, like a torrent in the south.

5 Ndị niile na-eji anya mmiri na-arụ ọrụ ịkụ mkpụrụ ga-emesịa jiri abụ ọṅụ wee ihe ubi ahụ.

Those who sow in tears shall reap in exultation.

6 Onye ji ịkwa akwa buru mkpụrụ ubi ọ ga-agha na-aga, ga-emesịa jiri abụ ọṅụ na-alọghachi azụ, mgbe ha bu ukwu ọka ha.

When departing, they went forth and wept, sowing their seeds. But when returning, they will arrive with exultation, carrying their sheaves.
