Zabbuli 122

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

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

2 Ebigere byaffe biyimiridde mu miryango gyo, Ayi Yerusaalemi.

Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Yerusaalemi yazimbibwa okuba ekibuga ekinywevu ekiyimiridde awamu.

Jerusalem 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, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

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

For there are set thrones of 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 that love you.

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

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

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

For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within 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 seek your good.
