Okugalikanena emanguluko
1 Omuwa sho a galulile kegumbo
oonkwatwa dhaSion,
otwa li twa fa oonakuyaguma.
2 Otwa yolo e tatu ligola pombanda.
Ihe iigwana yilwe oye tu popi ya ti:
“Omuwa okwe ya ningile iinima iinene.”
3 Eeno, Omuwa okwe tu ningile iinima iinene,
otse notwe shi nyanyukilwa.
4 Omuwa, tu galulila kegumbo,
tu hepuluke twa fa esilu ekukutu mombuga tali lokwa.
5 Oomboka taa kunu nokulila omahodhi,
otaa ka teya nokunyanyukwa.
6 Otaa ende taa lili, sho taa humbata oombuto;
otaa galuka ko nokuligola, sho taa humbata oondudhi.

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.
