Zabbuli 121

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

A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?

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

My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

3 Taliganya kigere kyo kusagaasagana; oyo akukuuma taabongootenga.

He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.

4 Laba, oyo akuuma Isirayiri taabongootenga so teyeebakenga.

Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.

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

Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,

6 emisana enjuba teekwokyenga, wadde omwezi ekiro.

By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.

7 Mukama anaakukuumanga mu buli kabi; anaalabiriranga obulamu bwo.

Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.

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

Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
