Zabbuli 87

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

By sons of Korah. — A Psalm, a song. His foundation [is] in holy mountains.

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

Jehovah is loving the gates of Zion Above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

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

Honourable things are spoken in 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 mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Lo, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This [one] 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 is said: Each one was born in her, And He, the Most High, doth establish her.

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

Jehovah doth recount in the describing of the peoples, 'This [one] was born there.' (Selah)

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

Singers also as players on instruments, All my fountains [are] in Thee!
