< Zabbuli 87 >

1 Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Oluyimba. Atadde emisingi gye ku lusozi olutukuvu.
A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korah. The Lord founded the city on his holy mountain.
2 Mukama ayagala emiryango gya Sayuuni okusinga ennyumba zonna eza Yakobo.
Jerusalem is the city that the Lord loves more than any other city in Israel.
3 Ebintu eby’ekitiibwa bikwogerwako, ggwe ekibuga kya Katonda.
Many wonderful things are said of you, 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 mention Egypt and Babylon as those who know me, and in addition Philistia, Tyre, and 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.
It will be said concerning Jerusalem, “Everyone was born there,” and the Most High will make it secure.
6 Mukama aliwandiika mu kitabo bw’ati, omuli amannya g’abantu nti, “Ono yazaalibwa omwo.”
When the Lord registers the nations, he will write, “They were born there.” (Selah)
7 Banaakubanga ebivuga nga bwe bayimba nti, “Ensulo zange zonna ziri mu ggwe.”
Singers and dancers alike say, “Living here I am at home.”
