Bilingual reading

When the LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

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

Restore our fortunes again, LORD, like the streams in the Negev.

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

نَشيدُ المَراقي. حينَ رَدَّ الرَّبُّ أَسْرى صِهْيون كُنَّا كالحالِمين

حينَئِذٍ ٱمتَلأَت أَفْواهُنا ضَحِكًا وأَلسِنَتُنا تَهْليلًا. حينَئِذٍ قيلَ في الأُمَم: «إِنَّ الرَّبَّ عَظَّمَ الصَّنيعَ إِلَيهم»

إِنَّ الرَّبَّ عَظَّمَ الصَّنيعَ إِلَينا فَصِرْنا فَرِحين

أُردُدْ يا رَبُّ أَسْرانا مِثلَ السُّيولِ في النَّقَب

الَّذينَ بِالدُّموعِ يَزرَعون بِالتَّهْليلِ يَحصُدونَ

يَنطَلِقُ فيَسيرُ باكِيًا وهو يَحمِلُ البَذْرَ. يَعودُ فيَأتي مُهَلِّلًا وهو يَحمِلُ حُزَمَه
