Zabbuli 87

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

For the sons of Core, a psalm of a canticle. The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains:

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

The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

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

Glorious things are said of thee, 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 were there.

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

Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.

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

The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.

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

The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.
