Original text and translations

Latin text Qui séminant in láchrimis, in gáudio métent. Eúntes íbant, et flébant, mitténtes sémina súa. Veniéntes áutem vénient cum exultatióne, portántes manípulos súos.

English translation May those who sow in tears reap in joy! Going, they went forth and wept, casting their own seeds. But coming, they will come with shouts of joy, carrying their own sheaves.
