1 M arkii Rabbigu soo celiyey maxaabiistii Siyoon, Waxaynu noqonnay sida kuwa riyooda.

It was like a dream when the Lord brought back to Zion those who had been held in another land.

2 M arkaasaa afkeenna waxaa ka buuxsamay qosol, Carrabkeennana gabay, Kolkaasaa quruumaha waxaa laga dhex yidhi, Rabbigu waxyaalo waaweyn ayuu iyaga u sameeyey.

Then we laughed with our mouths, and we sang with our tongues. Then it was said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”

3 R abbigu wuxuu inoo sameeyey waxyaalo waaweyn, Oo aynu ku faraxsan nahay.

The Lord has done great things for us and we are glad.

4 R abbiyow, maxaabiisnimada mar kale nooga soo celi Sida durdurrada koonfureed.

Bring back our people, O Lord, like the rivers in the South.

5 K uwa ilmada wax ku abuurtaa, farxad bay ku goosan doonaan.

Those who plant with tears will gather fruit with songs of joy.

6 K ii iska taga isagoo ooyaya oo abuurkiisa sita, Wuxuu soo noqon doonaa isagoo faraxsan oo xidhmooyinkiisa sita.

He who goes out crying as he carries his bag of seed will return with songs of joy as he brings much grain with him.
