< Zabbuli 121 >
1 Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Nnyimusa amaaso gange eri ensozi, okubeerwa kwange kuva wa?
A song of ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. O whence shall help for me come?
2 Okubeerwa kwange kuva eri Mukama, eyakola eggulu n’ensi.
From the Lord comes help to me the creator of heaven and earth.
3 Taliganya kigere kyo kusagaasagana; oyo akukuuma taabongootenga.
Your foot he will not let totter: he who guards you will not sleep.
4 Laba, oyo akuuma Isirayiri taabongootenga so teyeebakenga.
The guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 Mukama ye mukuumi wo; Mukama y’akusiikiriza ku mukono gwo ogwa ddyo;
The Lord is he who guards you your shelter upon your right hand.
6 emisana enjuba teekwokyenga, wadde omwezi ekiro.
The sun by day shall not strike you, nor the moon by night.
7 Mukama anaakukuumanga mu buli kabi; anaalabiriranga obulamu bwo.
From all evil the Lord will guard you, he will guard your life.
8 Mukama anaakukumanga amagenda go n’amadda, okuva leero n’okutuusa emirembe gyonna.
The Lord will guard your going and coming from now and for evermore.
