Zabbuli 124

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By David.” If the LORD had not been for us, Now may Israel say,

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

If the LORD had not been for us, When men rose up against us,

3 banditusaanyizzaawo mu kaseera buseera, obusungu bwabwe bwe bwatubuubuukirako.

Then had they swallowed us up alive, When their wrath burned 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.

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 a prey to their teeth!

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

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; The snare is broken, and we have 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.
