< Psalms 136 >
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good.
Mwebaze Mukama kubanga mulungi,
2 Give thanks to the God of gods.
Mwebaze Katonda wa bakatonda bonna,
3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords.
Mwebaze Mukama w’abafuzi,
4 He alone does great wonders.
Oyo yekka akola ebyamagero ebikulu,
5 By His insight He made the heavens.
Oyo eyakola eggulu mu kutegeera kwe,
6 He spread out the earth upon the waters.
Oyo eyabamba ensi ku mazzi,
7 He made the great lights—
Oyo eyakola ebyaka ebinene,
8 the sun to rule the day,
Enjuba yagikola okufuganga emisana,
9 the moon and stars to govern the night.
Omwezi n’emmunyeenye yabikola okufuganga ekiro,
10 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt
Oyo eyatta ababereberye b’Abamisiri,
11 and brought Israel out from among them
N’aggya Isirayiri mu Misiri,
12 with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.
Yabaggyamu n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi gwe yagolola;
13 He divided the Red Sea in two
Oyo eyayawulamu amazzi g’Ennyanja Emyufu,
14 and led Israel through the midst,
N’ayisa abaana ba Isirayiri wakati waayo,
15 but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea.
Naye n’asaanyaawo Falaawo n’eggye lye mu Nnyanja Emyufu;
16 He led His people through the wilderness.
Oyo eyakulembera abantu be mu ddungu,
17 He struck down great kings
Ye yafufuggaza bakabaka abaatiikirivu,
18 and slaughtered mighty kings—
N’atta bakabaka ab’amaanyi,
19 Sihon king of the Amorites
Ye yatta ne Sikoni, kabaka w’Abamoli,
20 and Og king of Bashan—
Era ye yatta ne Ogi kabaka wa Basani,
21 and He gave their land as an inheritance,
N’awaayo ensi yaabwe okuba obutaka,
22 a heritage to His servant Israel.
Okuba obutaka bwa Isirayiri omuddu we,
23 He remembered us in our low estate
Oyo eyatujjukira nga tuweddemu ensa,
24 and freed us from our enemies.
N’atuwonya abalabe baffe,
25 He gives food to every creature.
Oyo awa abantu n’ebiramu byonna ekyokulya,
26 Give thanks to the God of heaven!
Kale mwebaze Katonda w’eggulu,
