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

A Song of the Ascents. In Jehovah's turning back the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.

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

Then filled laughter is our mouth, And our tongue singing, Then do they say among nations, `Jehovah did great things with these.'

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

Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful.

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

Turn again, O Jehovah, our captivity, As streams in the south.

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

Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap,

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

Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!
