Psalms 16
1 A writing of David. Keep me, O Lord; for I have hoped in you.
Ya Dawudi. Onkuume, Ayi Katonda, kubanga ggwe buddukiro bwange.
2 I said to the Lord, You are my Lord; for you has no need of my goodness.
Nagamba Mukama nti, “Ggwe Mukama wange, ebirungi byonna bye nnina biva gy’oli.”
3 On behalf of the saints that are in his land, he has magnified all his pleasure in them.
Abatukuvu abali mu nsi be njagala era mu bo mwe nsanyukira.
4 Their weaknesses have been multiplied; afterward they hasted. I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, neither will I make mention of their names with my lips.
Ennaku y’abo abagoberera bakatonda abalala yeeyongera. Siriwaayo ssaddaaka zaabwe ez’omusaayi, wadde okusinza bakatonda baabwe.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you are he that restores my inheritance to me.
Mukama, ggwe mugabo gwange, era ggw’oliisa obulamu bwange; era ggw’olabirira ebyange.
6 The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yes, I have a most excellent heritage.
Ensalo zange ziri mu bifo ebisanyusa, ddala ddala omugabo omulungi.
7 I will bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even till night.
Nnaatenderezanga Mukama kubanga annuŋŋamya ne mu kiro ayigiriza omutima gwange.
8 I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
Nkulembeza Mukama buli kiseera, era ali ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo, siinyeenyezebwenga.
9 Therefore my heart rejoiced an my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
Noolwekyo omutima gwange gusanyuka, n’akamwa kange ne kajaguza; era n’omubiri gwange gunaabeeranga mu mirembe.
10 because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Kubanga omwoyo gwange toliguleka magombe, wadde okukkiriza Omutukuvu wo okuvunda. (Sheol h7585)
11 You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy with your countenance: at your right hand [there are] delights for ever.
Olindaga ekkubo ery’obulamu; w’oli we wanaabanga essanyu erijjuvu, era mu mukono gwo ogwa ddyo nga mwe muli ebisanyusa emirembe gyonna.
