Zabbuli 124

1 Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Lwa Dawudi. Isirayiri agamba nti, singa Katonda teyali ku ludda lwaffe,

A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

2 singa Katonda teyali ku ludda lwaffe abalabe baffe bwe baatulumba,

If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

3 banditusaanyizzaawo mu kaseera buseera, obusungu bwabwe bwe bwatubuubuukirako.

They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

4 Amataba g’obusungu bwabwe ganditusaanyizzaawo, ne mukoka n’atukulukutirako;

Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

5 amazzi ag’obusungu bwabwe agayira ganditukuluggusizza.

Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

6 Mukama atenderezebwe atatugabuddeeyo ne tutaagulwataagulwa amannyo gaabwe.

Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.

7 Tuwonye ng’ekinyonyi bwe kiva ku mutego gw’abatezi; omutego gukutuse, naffe tuwonye!

Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

8 Okubeerwa kwaffe kuli mu linnya lya Mukama, eyakola eggulu n’ensi.

Our helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.
