Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala.

129 (A)Isirayiri ayogere nti,
    “Bambonyaabonyezza nnyo okuva mu buvubuka bwange.”
(B)Ddala bambonyaabonyezza nnyo okuva mu buvubuka bwange;
    naye tebampangudde.
Newaakubadde ng’omugongo gwange gujjudde enkovu olw’embooko ze bankubye
    era ne gulabika nga kwe bayisizza ekyuma ekirima,
(C)kyokka Mukama mutuukirivu;
    amenyeemenye enjegere z’abakola ebibi.

(D)Abo bonna abakyawa Sayuuni bagobebwe
    era bazzibweyo emabega nga baswadde.
(E)Babeere ng’omuddo ogumera waggulu ku nnyumba[a],
    oguwotoka nga tegunnakula.
Omukunguzi tagufaako, n’oyo asiba ebinywa agunyooma.
(F)Wadde abayitawo baleme kwogera nti,
    “Omukisa gwa Mukama gube ku mmwe.
    Tubasabidde omukisa mu linnya lya Mukama.”

Psalm 129

A song of ascents.

“They have greatly oppressed(A) me from my youth,”(B)
    let Israel say;(C)
“they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,
    but they have not gained the victory(D) over me.
Plowmen have plowed my back
    and made their furrows long.
But the Lord is righteous;(E)
    he has cut me free(F) from the cords of the wicked.”(G)

May all who hate Zion(H)
    be turned back in shame.(I)
May they be like grass on the roof,(J)
    which withers(K) before it can grow;
a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,(L)
    nor one who gathers fill his arms.
May those who pass by not say to them,
    “The blessing of the Lord be on you;
    we bless you(M) in the name of the Lord.”

129 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.
