Zabbuli 87

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

A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

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

The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings 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 as among them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this one was born there.

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

Yea, 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.”

The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the peoples, this one was born there. (Selah)

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

They that sing as well as they that dance [shall say], All my fountains are in thee.
