Zabbuli 130

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

A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

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

Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

4 Naye osonyiwa; noolwekyo ossibwamu ekitiibwa.

But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

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

I hoped [for] Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

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

My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

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

Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.

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

And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
