Zabbuli 121

1 Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Nnyimusa amaaso gange eri ensozi, okubeerwa kwange kuva wa?

A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?

2 Okubeerwa kwange kuva eri Mukama, eyakola eggulu n’ensi.

My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 Taliganya kigere kyo kusagaasagana; oyo akukuuma taabongootenga.

He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.

4 Laba, oyo akuuma Isirayiri taabongootenga so teyeebakenga.

Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 Mukama ye mukuumi wo; Mukama y’akusiikiriza ku mukono gwo ogwa ddyo;

The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.

6 emisana enjuba teekwokyenga, wadde omwezi ekiro.

The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.

7 Mukama anaakukuumanga mu buli kabi; anaalabiriranga obulamu bwo.

The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.

8 Mukama anaakukumanga amagenda go n’amadda, okuva leero n’okutuusa emirembe gyonna.

The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
