Psalms 31
1 In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge. Let me never be put to shame. Deliver me in thy righteousness.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Mukama, ggwe kiddukiro kyange, leka nneme kuswazibwa. Ndokola mu butuukirivu bwo.
2 Bow down thine ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be thou to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.
Ontegere okutu kwo oyanguwe okunziruukirira. Beera ekiddukiro kyange eky’olwazi era ekigo eky’amaanyi eky’okumponya.
3 For thou are my rock and my fortress. Therefore for thy name's sake lead me and guide me.
Nga bw’oli olwazi lwange era ekigo kyange; olw’erinnya lyo onkulembebere era onnuŋŋamye.
4 Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for thou are my stronghold.
Omponye mu mutego gwe banteze; kubanga ggwe kiddukiro kyange.
5 Into thy hand I commend my spirit. Thou have redeemed me, O Jehovah, thou God of truth.
Nteeka omwoyo gwange mu mikono gyo; ondokole, Ayi Mukama, Katonda ow’amazima.
6 I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in Jehovah.
Nkyawa abo abeesiga bakatonda abalala; nze nneesiga Mukama.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving kindness, for thou have seen my affliction. Thou have known my soul in adversities,
Nnaajaguzanga ne nsanyukira mu kwagala kwo, kubanga olabye okubonaabona kwange era omanyi ennaku endi ku mwoyo.
8 and thou have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. Thou have set my feet in a large place.
Tompaddeeyo mu balabe bange, naye otadde ebigere byange mu kifo ekigazi.
9 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in distress. My eye wastes away with grief, yea, my soul and my body.
Onsaasire, Ayi Mukama, kubanga ndi mu nnaku nnyingi; amaaso gange gakooye olw’ennaku; omwoyo gwange n’omubiri gwange nabyo binafuye olw’obuyinike.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones are wasted away.
Obulamu bwange buweddewo olw’obunaku n’emyaka gyange ne giggwaawo olw’okusinda. Amaanyi gampweddemu olw’okwonoona kwange, n’amagumba ganafuye.
11 I have become a reproach because of all my adversaries, yea, to my neighbors exceedingly, and a fear to my acquaintances. Those who saw me outside fled from me.
Abalabe bange bonna bansekerera, banneetamiddwa. Nfuuse ekyenyinyalwa mu mikwano gyange, n’abandaba mu kkubo banziruka.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.
Nneerabiddwa ng’eyafa edda; nfuuse ng’ekibumbe ekyatifu.
13 For I have heard the slander of many. Fear was on every side, while they took counsel together against me. They devised to take away my life.
Buli ludda mpulirayo obwama nga bangeya; bye banteesaako nga basala olukwe okunzita.
14 But I trusted in thee, O Jehovah. I said, Thou are my God.
Naye nneesiga ggwe, Ayi Mukama; nga njogera nti, “Oli Katonda wange.”
15 My times are in thy hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
Entuuko zange ziri mu mikono gyo; ondokole mu mikono gy’abalabe bange n’abangigganya.
16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant. Save me in thy loving kindness.
Amaaso go ogatunuulize omuweereza wo; ondokole n’okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo.
17 Let me not be put to shame, O Jehovah, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be put to shame. Let them be silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Ayi Mukama tondeka kuswazibwa, kubanga nkukoowoola; leka abo ababi baswale, era bagalamire emagombe nga basirise. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the lying lips be dumb, which speak against the righteous man insolently, with pride and contempt.
Akamwa kaabwe akayogera eby’obulimba kasirisibwe, kubanga boogera ebitaliimu ku batuukirivu bo, nga babyogeza amalala n’okunyooma.
19 O how great is thy goodness, which thou have laid up for those who fear thee, which thou have wrought for those who take refuge in thee before the sons of men!
Obulungi bwo, bwe waterekera abo abakutya nga buyitirivu, n’obuwa mu lwatu abo abaddukira gy’oli.
20 In the covert of thy presence thou will hide them from the plotting of man. Thou will keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
Obalabirira n’obawonya enkwe z’abalabe baabwe, n’obakuuma bulungi mu nnyumba yo, n’ennyombo z’abantu ne zitabatuukako.
21 Blessed be Jehovah, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.
Mukama atenderezebwenga kubanga yandaga okwagala kwe okungi, bwe nnali mu kibuga kye baali bazingizza.
22 As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes. Nevertheless thou heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to thee.
Bwe natya ennyo ne njogera nti, “Ngobeddwa mu maaso go.” Kyokka wampulira nga nkukaabirira n’onsaasira.
23 O love Jehovah, all ye his sanctified. Jehovah preserves the faithful, and plentifully repays him who deals proudly.
Mwagalenga Mukama abatukuvu be mwenna! Mukama akuuma abo abamwesiga, naye ab’amalala ababonereza mu bujjuvu.
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all ye who hope in Jehovah.
Muddeemu amaanyi mugume omwoyo mmwe mwenna abalina essuubi mu Mukama.
