Zabbuli 124

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

A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

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

Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

3 banditusaanyizzaawo mu kaseera buseera, obusungu bwabwe bwe bwatubuubuukirako.

Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

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

Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

5 amazzi ag’obusungu bwabwe agayira ganditukuluggusizza.

Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

6 Mukama atenderezebwe atatugabuddeeyo ne tutaagulwataagulwa amannyo gaabwe.

Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

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

Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

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

Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!
