1When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
1Jehovha panguva yaakadzosa vatapwa veZiyoni, Isu takanga takafanana navanorota hope.
2Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “Yahweh has done great things for them.”
2Panguva iyo muromo wedu wakange uzere nokuseka, Norurimi rwedu nokuimba; Ipapo pakati pavahedheni vakati, Jehovha akavaitira zvinhu zvikuru;
3Yahweh has done great things for us, and we are glad.
3Jehovha wakatiitira zvinhu zvikuru; Isu tinofara.
4Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh, like the streams in the Negev.
4Dzosai vatapwa vedu, Jehovha, sehove panyika yeNyasi.
5Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
5Vanodzvara nemisodzi vachakohwa nomufaro.
6He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.
6Anofamba-famba, achichema, akatakura tsama yembeu, achadzoka nomufaro akatakura zvisote zvake.
