Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Lwa Sulemaani.

127 (A)Mukama bw’atazimba nnyumba,
    abo abagizimba bazimbira bwereere.
Mukama bw’atakuuma kibuga,
    abakuumi bateganira bwereere.
(B)Oteganira bwereere bw’okeera mu makya n’okola,
    ate n’olwawo n’okwebaka
ng’okolerera ekyokulya;
    kubanga Mukama abaagalwa be abawa otulo.

(C)Abaana aboobulenzi kya bugagga okuva eri Mukama;
    era abaana mpeera gy’agaba okuva gy’ali.
Ng’obusaale bwe bubeera mu mukono gw’omulwanyi,
    n’abaana abazaalibwa mu buvubuka bw’omuntu bwe bali bwe batyo.
(D)Alina omukisa omuntu oyo
    ajjuzza ensawo ye n’obusaale,
kubanga tebaliswazibwa;
    balyolekera abalabe baabwe mu mulyango omunene.

Psalm 127

A song of ascents. Of Solomon.

Unless the Lord builds(A) the house,
    the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches(B) over the city,
    the guards stand watch in vain.
In vain you rise early
    and stay up late,
toiling for food(C) to eat—
    for he grants sleep(D) to[a] those he loves.(E)

Children are a heritage from the Lord,
    offspring a reward(F) from him.
Like arrows(G) in the hands of a warrior
    are children born in one’s youth.
Blessed is the man
    whose quiver is full of them.(H)
They will not be put to shame
    when they contend with their opponents(I) in court.(J)
