Zabbuli 125

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

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, for it is unshakeable and endures forever.

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

In the same way that the mountains surround Jerusalem, the Lord surrounds his people, now and forever.

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

The wicked will not always rule over the land of the faithful, otherwise the faithful might also end up doing wrong.

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

Lord, please do good to those who do good, those who sincerely do what is right.

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

But as for those who turn aside to follow their own crooked ways—those the Lord will lead them away together with those who do evil. May Israel be at peace!
