Zabbuli 130

1 Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Ayi Mukama, nkukaabira nga nsobeddwa nnyo.

A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths, have I cried unto thee, O Yahweh.

2 Ayi Mukama, wulira eddoboozi lyange; otege amatu go eri eddoboozi ly’okwegayirira kwange.

O My Lord! hearken thou unto my voice, —Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications,

3 Ayi Mukama, singa otubalira obutali butuukirivu bwaffe, ani eyandiyimiridde mu maaso go?

If, iniquities, thou shouldest mark, O Yah, O My Lord, who could stand?

4 Naye osonyiwa; noolwekyo ossibwamu ekitiibwa.

But, with thee, is forgiveness, that thou mayest be revered.

5 Nnindirira Mukama, emmeeme yange erindirira era essuubi lyange liri mu kigambo kye.

I have waited for Yahweh, My soul hath waited for his word;

6 Emmeeme yange erindirira Mukama; mmulindirira okusinga ng’abakuumi bwe balindirira obudde okukya; okusingira ddala ng’abakuumi bwe balindirira obudde okukya.

I have hoped, O my soul, for My Lord, more than they who watch for the morning, who watch for the morning.

7 Ayi Isirayiri, weesigenga Mukama, kubanga Mukama y’alina okwagala okutaggwaawo; era y’alina okununula okutuukiridde.

Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh, —for, with Yahweh, is lovingkindness, and there aboundeth with him—redemption.

8 Mukama y’alinunula Isirayiri n’amuggya mu byonoono bye byonna.

He, therefore, will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
