Psalms 31
1 For the end, a Psalm of David, [an utterance] of extreme fear. O Lord, I have hoped in thee; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness and rescue me.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Mukama, ggwe kiddukiro kyange, leka nneme kuswazibwa. Ndokola mu butuukirivu bwo.
2 Incline thine ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be thou to me for a protecting God, and for a house of refuge to save me.
Ontegere okutu kwo oyanguwe okunziruukirira. Beera ekiddukiro kyange eky’olwazi era ekigo eky’amaanyi eky’okumponya.
3 For thou art my strength and my refuge; and thou shalt guide me for thy name's sake, and maintain me.
Nga bw’oli olwazi lwange era ekigo kyange; olw’erinnya lyo onkulembebere era onnuŋŋamye.
4 Thou shalt bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for thou, O Lord, art my defender.
Omponye mu mutego gwe banteze; kubanga ggwe kiddukiro kyange.
5 Into thine hands I will commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
Nteeka omwoyo gwange mu mikono gyo; ondokole, Ayi Mukama, Katonda ow’amazima.
6 Thou has hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.
Nkyawa abo abeesiga bakatonda abalala; nze nneesiga Mukama.
7 I will exult and be glad in thy mercy: for thou hast looked upon mine affliction; thou hast saved my soul from distresses.
Nnaajaguzanga ne nsanyukira mu kwagala kwo, kubanga olabye okubonaabona kwange era omanyi ennaku endi ku mwoyo.
8 And thou hast not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a wide place.
Tompaddeeyo mu balabe bange, naye otadde ebigere byange mu kifo ekigazi.
9 Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and by belly.
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 grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled.
Obulamu bwange buweddewo olw’obunaku n’emyaka gyange ne giggwaawo olw’okusinda. Amaanyi gampweddemu olw’okwonoona kwange, n’amagumba ganafuye.
11 I became a reproach among all mine enemies, but exceedingly so to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.
Abalabe bange bonna bansekerera, banneetamiddwa. Nfuuse ekyenyinyalwa mu mikwano gyange, n’abandaba mu kkubo banziruka.
12 I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am become as a broken vessel.
Nneerabiddwa ng’eyafa edda; nfuuse ng’ekibumbe ekyatifu.
13 For I heard the slander of many that dwelt round about: when they were gathered together against me, they took counsel to take my life.
Buli ludda mpulirayo obwama nga bangeya; bye banteesaako nga basala olukwe okunzita.
14 But I hoped in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
Naye nneesiga ggwe, Ayi Mukama; nga njogera nti, “Oli Katonda wange.”
15 My lots are in thy hands: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,
Entuuko zange ziri mu mikono gyo; ondokole mu mikono gy’abalabe bange n’abangigganya.
16 and from them that persecute me. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me in thy mercy.
Amaaso go ogatunuulize omuweereza wo; ondokole n’okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo.
17 O Lord, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon thee: let the ungodly be ashamed, and brought down to Hades. (Sheol h7585)
Ayi Mukama tondeka kuswazibwa, kubanga nkukoowoola; leka abo ababi baswale, era bagalamire emagombe nga basirise. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the deceitful lips become dumb, which speak iniquity against the righteous with pride and scorn.
Akamwa kaabwe akayogera eby’obulimba kasirisibwe, kubanga boogera ebitaliimu ku batuukirivu bo, nga babyogeza amalala n’okunyooma.
19 How abundant is the multitude of thy goodness, O Lord, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee! thou hast wrought [it] out for them that hope on thee, in the presence of the sons of men.
Obulungi bwo, bwe waterekera abo abakutya nga buyitirivu, n’obuwa mu lwatu abo abaddukira gy’oli.
20 Thou wilt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the vexation of man: thou wilt screen them in a tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.
Obalabirira n’obawonya enkwe z’abalabe baabwe, n’obakuuma bulungi mu nnyumba yo, n’ennyombo z’abantu ne zitabatuukako.
21 Blessed be the Lord: for he has magnified his mercy in a fortified city.
Mukama atenderezebwenga kubanga yandaga okwagala kwe okungi, bwe nnali mu kibuga kye baali bazingizza.
22 But I said in my extreme fear, I am cast out from the sight of thine eyes: therefore thou didst hearken, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication when I cried to thee.
Bwe natya ennyo ne njogera nti, “Ngobeddwa mu maaso go.” Kyokka wampulira nga nkukaabirira n’onsaasira.
23 Love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord seeks for truth, and renders [a reward] to them that deal very proudly.
Mwagalenga Mukama abatukuvu be mwenna! Mukama akuuma abo abamwesiga, naye ab’amalala ababonereza mu bujjuvu.
24 Be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.
Muddeemu amaanyi mugume omwoyo mmwe mwenna abalina essuubi mu Mukama.
