Zabbuli 124

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

A Song of Ascents; of David. 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us', let Israel now say;

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

'If it had not been the LORD who was for us, when men rose up against us,

3 banditusaanyizzaawo mu kaseera buseera, obusungu bwabwe bwe bwatubuubuukirako.

Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

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

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul;

5 amazzi ag’obusungu bwabwe agayira ganditukuluggusizza.

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.'

6 Mukama atenderezebwe atatugabuddeeyo ne tutaagulwataagulwa amannyo gaabwe.

Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

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

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
