Zabbuli 125

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

[A Song of Ascents.] Those who trust in YHWH are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but remains forever.

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

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so YHWH surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore.

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

For the scepter of wickedness won't remain over the allotment of the righteous; so that the righteous won't use their hands to do evil.

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

Do good, YHWH, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.

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 their crooked ways, YHWH will lead them away with evildoers. Peace be on Israel.
