Zabbuli 121

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

A Song of degrees. I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my help.

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

My help [cometh] from the LORD, who made heaven and 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 shall neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [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.

The LORD will preserve thee from all evil: he will preserve thy soul.

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

The LORD will preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for ever.
