(A song for worship.)
Celebrating the Harvest
1 It seemed like a dream
when the Lord brought us back
to the city of Zion.
2 We celebrated with laughter
and joyful songs.
In foreign nations it was said,
“The Lord has worked miracles
for his people.”
3 And so we celebrated
because the Lord had indeed
worked miracles for us.
4 Our Lord, we ask you to bless
our people again,
and let us be like streams
in the Southern Desert.
5 We cried as we went out
to plant our seeds.
Now let us celebrate
as we bring in the crops.
6 We cried on the way
to plant our seeds,
but we will celebrate and shout
as we bring in the crops.
Apa tapa kunwa nomahodi, otapa teywa nenyakuko
Eimbilo lomolweendo lokuya kouyapuki.
1 Omwene eshi kwa li a pikulula Sion moukwatwa washo,
opo fye otwa li twa fa hatu tu ondjodi.
2 Omakanya etu okwa li e yadi oindjola,
nomalaka etu e neenghuwilili;
nomokati kovapaani kwa li taku popiwa taku ti:
“Omwene okwe va longela oilonga inene.”
3 Heeno, Omwene okwa li e tu ningila oinima inene.
Otwa kala twa hafa.
4 Omwene, shitukifa oshitukulilwa shetu,
ngaashi ho alula omatondokelo omeva odula
medu lokoumbuwanhu.
5 Ava hava kunu nomahodi,
ohava teya va nyakukwa.
6 Heeno, moku ka kuna ombuto,
otava ende nokulila;
ndele mokwaaluka otava kuwilile,
notava humbata oilya yavo.
