Psalms 77
1 To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm. I was crying to God with my voice; even to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Asafu. Nnaakaabirira Katonda ambeere, ddala nnaakaabirira Katonda nga musaba ampulire.
2 In the day of my trouble, my heart was turned to the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night without resting; my soul would not be comforted.
Bwe nnali mu nnaku, nanoonya Mukama, ekiro kyonna ne ngolola emikono gyange obutakoowa; emmeeme yange neegaana okusanyusibwa.
3 I will keep God in memory, with sounds of grief; my thoughts are troubled, and my spirit is overcome. (Selah)
Nakujjukiranga, Ayi Katonda ne nsinda, ne nfumiitiriza emmeeme yange n’ezirika.
4 You keep my eyes from sleep; I am so troubled that no words come.
Tewaŋŋanya kwebaka; natawaanyizibwa nnyo ne sisobola kwogera.
5 My thoughts go back to the days of the past, to the years which are gone.
Ne ndowooza ku biseera eby’edda, ne nzijukira emyaka egyayita.
6 The memory of my song comes back to me in the night; my thoughts are moving in my heart; my spirit is searching with care.
Najjukiranga ennyimba zange ekiro, ne nfumiitiriza nga bwe neebuuza mu mutima gwange nti:
7 Will the Lord put me away for ever? will he be kind no longer?
“Mukama anaatusuuliranga ddala ennaku zonna naataddayo kutulaga kisa kye?
8 Is his mercy quite gone for ever? has his word come to nothing?
Okwagala kwe okutaggwaawo kukomedde ddala? Kye yasuubiza kibulidde ddala emirembe n’emirembe?
9 Has God put away the memory of his pity? are his mercies shut up by his wrath? (Selah)
Katonda yeerabidde ekisa kye? Asunguwalidde ddala ne yeggyako n’okusaasira kwe?”
10 And I said, It is a weight on my spirit; but I will keep in mind the years of the right hand of the Most High.
Awo ne ndowooza nti, “Ebyo bye mmanyi eby’emyaka emingi eby’omukono ogwa ddyo ogw’oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo.”
11 I will keep in mind the works of Jah: I will keep the memory of your wonders in the past.
Nnajjukiranga ebikolwa bya Mukama, weewaawo, nnajjukiranga ebyamagero byo eby’edda.
12 I will give thought to all your work, while my mind goes over your acts of power.
Nnaafumiitirizanga ku bikolwa byo byonna eby’amaanyi; nnaalowoozanga ku byamagero byo byonna.
13 Your way, O God, is holy: what god is so great as our God?
Ekkubo lyo, Ayi Katonda, liri mu watukuvu. Tewali katonda yenkana Katonda waffe.
14 You are the God who does works of power: you have made your strength clear to the nations.
Ggwe Katonda akola eby’amagero; era amaanyi go ogalaga mu mawanga.
15 With your arm you have made your people free, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
Wanunula abantu bo n’omukono gwo, abazzukulu ba Yakobo ne Yusufu.
16 The waters saw you, O God; the waters saw you, they were in fear: even the deep was troubled.
Amazzi gaakulaba, Ayi Katonda; amazzi bwe gaakulaba ne gatya, n’obuziba ne bukankanira ddala.
17 The clouds sent out water; the skies gave out a sound; truly, your arrows went far and wide.
Ebire byayiwa amazzi ne bivaamu n’okubwatuka, era n’obusaale bwo ne bubuna.
18 The voice of your thunder went rolling on; the world was flaming with the light of the storm; the earth was shaking.
Eddoboozi lyo ery’okubwatuka lyawulirwa mu kikuŋŋunta okumyansa kwo ne kumulisa ensi. Ensi n’ekankana n’enyeenyezebwa.
19 Your way was in the sea, and your road in the great waters; there was no knowledge of your footsteps.
Ekkubo lyo lyali mu nnyanja; wayita mu mazzi amangi, naye ebigere mwe walinnya tebyalabika.
20 You were guiding your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Wakulembera abantu bo ng’ekisibo, nga bali mu mikono gya Musa ne Alooni.
