Psalms 129

1 Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.

Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Isirayiri ayogere nti, “Bambonyaabonyezza nnyo okuva mu buvubuka bwange.”

2 Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.

Ddala bambonyaabonyezza nnyo okuva mu buvubuka bwange; naye tebampangudde.

3 The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.

Newaakubadde ng’omugongo gwange gujjudde enkovu olw’embooko ze bankubye era ne gulabika nga kwe bayisizza ekyuma ekirima,

4 The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:

kyokka Mukama mutuukirivu; amenyeemenye enjegere z’abakola ebibi.

5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.

Abo bonna abakyawa Sayuuni bagobebwe era bazzibweyo emabega nga baswadde.

6 Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:

Babeere ng’omuddo ogumera waggulu ku nnyumba, oguwotoka nga tegunnakula.

7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.

Omukunguzi tagufaako, n’oyo asiba ebinywa agunyooma.

8 And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.

Wadde abayitawo baleme kwogera nti, “Omukisa gwa Mukama gube ku mmwe. Tubasabidde omukisa mu linnya lya Mukama.”
