< Zabbuli 124 >
1 Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Lwa Dawudi. Isirayiri agamba nti, singa Katonda teyali ku ludda lwaffe,
A song of ascents. Of David. ‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us’ let Israel say
2 singa Katonda teyali ku ludda lwaffe abalabe baffe bwe baatulumba,
‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us when enemies rose against us,
3 banditusaanyizzaawo mu kaseera buseera, obusungu bwabwe bwe bwatubuubuukirako.
then alive they’d have swallowed us up, when their anger was kindled against us.
4 Amataba g’obusungu bwabwe ganditusaanyizzaawo, ne mukoka n’atukulukutirako;
Then the waters would’ve swept us away, and the torrent passed over us clean:
5 amazzi ag’obusungu bwabwe agayira ganditukuluggusizza.
then most sure would’ve passed over us clean the wild seething waters.’
6 Mukama atenderezebwe atatugabuddeeyo ne tutaagulwataagulwa amannyo gaabwe.
Blest be the Lord who has given us not to be torn by their teeth.
7 Tuwonye ng’ekinyonyi bwe kiva ku mutego gw’abatezi; omutego gukutuse, naffe tuwonye!
We are like a bird just escaped from the snare of the fowler. The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 Okubeerwa kwaffe kuli mu linnya lya Mukama, eyakola eggulu n’ensi.
Our help is the name of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.
