Zabbuli 128

1 Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Balina omukisa abatya Katonda; era abatambulira mu makubo ge.

A Song of Ascents. How happy is every one that revereth Yahweh, who walketh in his ways!

2 Olirya ebibala ebiriva mu kutegana kwo; oliweebwa emikisa era olifuna ebirungi.

The labour of thine own hands, surely thou shalt eat. How happy thou, and well for thine!

3 Mu nnyumba yo, mukyala wo aliba ng’omuzabbibu ogubala ennyo; abaana bo aboobulenzi baliba ng’amatabi g’emizeeyituuni nga beetoolodde emmeeza yo.

Thy wife, like a fruitful vine, within the recesses of thy house, —Thy children, like plantings of olive-trees, round about thy table.

4 Bw’atyo bw’aweebwa emikisa omuntu atya Mukama.

Lo! thus, shall be blessed the man who revereth Yahweh.

5 Mukama akuwenga omukisa ng’asinziira mu Sayuuni, era olabe Yerusaalemi nga kijjudde ebirungi ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwo.

Yahweh will bless thee, out of Zion, —and behold thou the welfare of Jerusalem, all the days of thy life!

6 Owangaale olabe abaana b’abaana bo! Emirembe gibeere mu Isirayiri.

And behold thou thy children’s children, —Prosperity on Israel!
