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.

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.
