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.
A Prayer for Deliverance
1 When the Lord brought us back to Jerusalem,
it was like a dream!
2 How we laughed, how we sang for joy!
Then the other nations said about us,
“The Lord did great things for them.”
3 Indeed he did great things for us;
how happy we were!
4 Lord, make us prosperous again,
just as the rain brings water back to dry riverbeds.
5 Let those who wept as they planted their crops,
gather the harvest with joy!
6 Those who wept as they went out carrying the seed
will come back singing for joy,
as they bring in the harvest.
