< Psalms 52 >

1 To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of David. When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul saying, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day?
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi Dowegi Omwedomu bwe yagenda n’abuulira Sawulo nti, “Dawudi alaze mu nnyumba ya Akimereki.” Lwaki weenyumiririza mu kibi ggwe omusajja ow’amaanyi? Endagaano ya Katonda ey’obwesigwa ebeerera emirembe n’emirembe.
2 Purposing destruction, using deceit; your tongue is like a sharp blade.
Oteekateeka enkwe ez’okuzikiriza. Olulimi lwo lwogi nga kkirita era buli kiseera lwogera bya bulimba.
3 You have more love for evil than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah)
Oyagala okukola ebibi okusinga okukola ebirungi, n’okulimba okusinga okwogera amazima.
4 Destruction is in all your words, O false tongue.
Osanyukira nnyo okwogera ebirumya. Ggwe olulimi kalimbira!
5 But God will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting you from the land of the living. (Selah)
Kyokka Katonda alikuzikiriza emirembe gyonna; alikusikula, akuggye mu maka go; alikugoba mu nsi y’abalamu.
6 The upright will see it with fear, and will say, laughing at you:
Bino abatuukirivu balibiraba, ne babitunuulira nga batidde. Naye balikusekerera, nga bwe bagamba nti,
7 See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself strong in his wealth.
“Mumulabe omusajja ateesiga Katonda okuba ekiddukiro kye, naye ne yeesiganga obugagga bwe obungi, ne yeeyongera n’amaanyi ng’azikiriza abalala.”
8 But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever.
Naye nze nfaanana ng’omuti omuzeyituuni ogukulira mu nnyumba ya Katonda. Neesiga okwagala kwa Katonda okutaggwaawo emirembe n’emirembe.
9 I will give you praise without end for what you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it is good.
Nnaakwebazanga emirembe gyonna olw’ekyo ky’okoze. Nneesiganga erinnya lyo kubanga erinnya lyo ddungi; era nnaakutendererezanga awali abatuukirivu bo.
