Zabbuli 125

1 Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Abeesiga Mukama bali ng’olusozi Sayuuni olutayinza kusiguukululwa, naye olubeerawo emirembe gyonna.

A Song of the going up. Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.

2 Ensozi nga bwe zeetooloola Yerusaalemi, ne Mukama bw’atyo bwe yeetooloola abantu be, okuva kaakano n’okutuusa emirembe gyonna.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people, from this time and for ever.

3 Kubanga abafuzi abakola ebibi tebalifugira mu nsi y’abatuukirivu, baleme okuwaliriza abatuukirivu okukola ebibi.

For the rod of sinners will not be resting on the heritage of the upright; so that the upright may not put out their hands to evil.

4 Ayi Mukama, abalungi n’abo abalina omutima omulongoofu bakolere ebirungi.

Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in heart.

5 Naye abo abalaga mu makubo gaabwe amakyamu, Mukama alibawaŋŋangusa wamu n’abakola ebitali bya butuukirivu. Emirembe gibe ku Isirayiri.

But as for such as are turned out of the straight way, the Lord will take them away with the workers of evil. Let peace be on Israel.
