Zabbuli 128

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

A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.

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

The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to thee.

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 [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.

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

Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.

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

Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

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

And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!
