Zabbuli 121

1 Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Nnyimusa amaaso gange eri ensozi, okubeerwa kwange kuva wa?

A song of ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where will my help come?

2 Okubeerwa kwange kuva eri Mukama, eyakola eggulu n’ensi.

My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

3 Taliganya kigere kyo kusagaasagana; oyo akukuuma taabongootenga.

He will not allow your foot to slip; he who protects you will not slumber.

4 Laba, oyo akuuma Isirayiri taabongootenga so teyeebakenga.

See, the guardian of Israel never slumbers or sleeps.

5 Mukama ye mukuumi wo; Mukama y’akusiikiriza ku mukono gwo ogwa ddyo;

Yahweh is your guardian; Yahweh is the shade at your right hand.

6 emisana enjuba teekwokyenga, wadde omwezi ekiro.

The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

7 Mukama anaakukuumanga mu buli kabi; anaalabiriranga obulamu bwo.

Yahweh will protect you from all harm, and he will protect your life.

8 Mukama anaakukumanga amagenda go n’amadda, okuva leero n’okutuusa emirembe gyonna.

Yahweh will protect you in all you do now and forevermore.
