Zabbuli 122

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

A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of the LORD.

2 Ebigere byaffe biyimiridde mu miryango gyo, Ayi Yerusaalemi.

Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

3 Yerusaalemi yazimbibwa okuba ekibuga ekinywevu ekiyimiridde awamu.

Jerusalem, that art builded 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.

Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD [for] a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks into 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 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 that 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 brethren 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 the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
