Zabbuli 121

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

A Song of degrees. I lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: whence shall my help come?

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

My help [cometh] from Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.

3 Taliganya kigere kyo kusagaasagana; oyo akukuuma taabongootenga.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4 Laba, oyo akuuma Isirayiri taabongootenga so teyeebakenga.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

Jehovah is thy keeper, Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand;

6 emisana enjuba teekwokyenga, wadde omwezi ekiro.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7 Mukama anaakukuumanga mu buli kabi; anaalabiriranga obulamu bwo.

Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; he will keep thy soul.

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

Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth and for evermore.
