Psalms 143
1 A Psalm. Of David. Let my prayer come to you, O Lord; give ear to my requests for your grace; keep faith with me, and give me an answer in your righteousness;
Zabbuli Ya Dawudi. Wulira okusaba kwange, Ayi Mukama, wulira okwegayirira kwange! Ggwe omwesigwa era omutuukirivu jjangu ombeere.
2 Let not your servant come before you to be judged; for no man living is upright in your eyes.
Tonsalira musango, kubanga mu maaso go tewali n’omu atuukiridde.
3 The evil man has gone after my soul; my life is crushed down to the earth: he has put me in the dark, like those who have long been dead.
Omulabe wange angoba n’ankwata n’ansuula wansi; anteeka mu kizikiza ne nfaanana ng’abaafa edda.
4 Because of this my spirit is overcome; and my heart is full of fear.
Noolwekyo omwoyo gwange guweddemu endasi, n’omutima gwange gwennyise.
5 I keep in mind the early days of the past, giving thought to all your acts, even to the work of your hands.
Nzijukira ennaku ez’edda, ne nfumiitiriza ku ebyo bye wakola byonna, ne ndowooza ku mirimu gy’emikono gyo.
6 My hands are stretched out to you: my soul is turned to you, like a land in need of water. (Selah)
Ngolola emikono gyange gy’oli, ne nkuyaayaanira ng’ettaka ekkalu bwe liyaayaanira enkuba.
7 Be quick in answering me, O Lord, for the strength of my spirit is gone: let me see your face, so that I may not be like those who go down into the underworld.
Yanguwa okunziramu, Ayi Mukama, kubanga omwoyo gwange guggwaamu amaanyi. Tonkisa maaso go, nneme okufaanana ng’abafu.
8 Let the story of your mercy come to me in the morning, for my hope is in you: give me knowledge of the way in which I am to go; for my soul is lifted up to you.
Obudde nga bukedde, nsaba ondage okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo; kubanga ggwe gwe neesiga. Njigiriza ekkubo lye nsaana okutambuliramu, kubanga omwoyo gwange gwonna guli gy’oli.
9 O Lord, take me out of the hands of my haters; my soul is waiting for you.
Mponya, Ayi Mukama, abalabe bange, kubanga ggwe kiddukiro kyange.
10 Give me teaching so that I may do your pleasure; for you are my God: let your good Spirit be my guide into the land of righteousness.
Njigiriza okukola by’oyagala, kubanga ggwe Katonda wange! Omwoyo wo omulungi ankulembere, antambulize mu kkubo eddungi ery’omuseetwe.
11 Give me life, O Lord, because of your name; in your righteousness take my soul out of trouble.
Olw’erinnya lyo, Ayi Mukama, onkuume, mu butuukirivu bwo onzigye mu kabi.
12 And in your mercy put an end to my haters, and send destruction on all those who are against my soul; for I am your servant.
Omalewo abalabe bange olw’okwagala kwo, ozikirize n’abanjigganya bonna, kubanga nze ndi muddu wo.
