Zabbuli 122

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

A Song of the going up. Of David. I was glad because they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord.

2 Ebigere byaffe biyimiridde mu miryango gyo, Ayi Yerusaalemi.

At last our feet were inside your doors, O Jerusalem.

3 Yerusaalemi yazimbibwa okuba ekibuga ekinywevu ekiyimiridde awamu.

O Jerusalem, you are like a town which is well joined together;

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

To which the tribes went up, even the tribes of the Lord, for a witness to Israel, to give praise to the name of the Lord.

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

For there seats for the judges were placed, even the rulers' seats of the line of David.

6 Musabirenga Yerusaalemi emirembe: “Abo abakwagala bafune ebirungi.

O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well.

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

May peace be inside your walls, and wealth in your noble houses.

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

Because of my brothers and friends, I will now say, Let peace be with you.

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

Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will be working for your good.
