Zabbuli 87

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

Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song. His foundation is in the mountains of holiness.

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

Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion more than all the habitations of Jacob.

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

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

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 make mention of Rahab and Babylon among them that know me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: this [man] was born there.

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

And of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High himself shall establish her.

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

Jehovah will count, when he inscribeth the peoples, This [man] was born there. (Selah)

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

As well the singers as the dancers [shall say], All my springs are in thee.
