Zabbuli 87

1 Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Oluyimba. Atadde emisingi gye ku lusozi olutukuvu.

A Canticle Psalm to the sons of Korah. Its foundations are in the holy mountains:

2 Mukama ayagala emiryango gya Sayuuni okusinga ennyumba zonna eza Yakobo.

the Lord loves the gates of Zion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

3 Ebintu eby’ekitiibwa bikwogerwako, ggwe ekibuga kya Katonda.

Glorious things are being said of you, O City of God.

4 “Mu mawanga ge mmanyi mwe muli Lakabu, ne Babulooni; era ndyogera ku Bufirisuuti, ne ku Ttuulo ne ku Esiyopya nti, ‘Ono yazaalirwa mu Sayuuni.’”

I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold, the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: these have been there.

5 Bwe baliba boogera ku Sayuuni baligamba nti, “Ono n’oli baazaalirwa omwo,” n’oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo alikinyweza.

Will not Zion say that this man and that man were born in her? And the Most High himself has founded her.

6 Mukama aliwandiika mu kitabo bw’ati, omuli amannya g’abantu nti, “Ono yazaalibwa omwo.”

The Lord will explain, in the writings of peoples and of leaders, about those who have been in her.

7 Banaakubanga ebivuga nga bwe bayimba nti, “Ensulo zange zonna ziri mu ggwe.”

For so the dwelling place within you is with all rejoicing.
