Zabbuli 122

1 Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Lwa Dawudi. Nasanyuka bwe baŋŋamba nti, “Tugende mu nnyumba ya Mukama!”

I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of Jehovah.

2 Ebigere byaffe biyimiridde mu miryango gyo, Ayi Yerusaalemi.

Our feet are standing inside thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Yerusaalemi yazimbibwa okuba ekibuga ekinywevu ekiyimiridde awamu.

Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together,

4 Eyo ebika byonna gye biraga, ebika bya Mukama, okutendereza erinnya lya Mukama ng’ebiragiro ebyaweebwa Isirayiri bwe biri.

where the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, for an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

5 Eyo entebe ez’okusalirako emisango gye zaateekebwa; z’entebe ez’obwakabaka ez’ennyumba ya Dawudi.

For there thrones are set for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Musabirenga Yerusaalemi emirembe: “Abo abakwagala bafune ebirungi.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper who love thee.

7 Emirembe gibeerenga munda w’ebisenge byo; n’amayumba go amanene gabeerenga n’omukisa era nga manywevu.”

Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

8 Olwa baganda bange ne mikwano gyange nnaayogeranga nti, “Emirembe gibeerenga mu ggwe.”

For my brothers and companions' sakes I will now say, Peace be within thee.

9 Olw’obulungi bw’ennyumba ya Mukama Katonda waffe, nnaanoonyanga okukulaakulana kwa Yerusaalemi.

For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
