Psalms 31
1 For the end, a Psalm of David, [an utterance] of extreme fear. O Lord, I have hoped in you; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in your 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 your ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be you 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 you are my strength and my refuge; and you shall guide me for your name's sake, and maintain me.
Nga bw’oli olwazi lwange era ekigo kyange; olw’erinnya lyo onkulembebere era onnuŋŋamye.
4 You shall bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for you, O Lord, are my defender.
Omponye mu mutego gwe banteze; kubanga ggwe kiddukiro kyange.
5 Into your hands I will commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
Nteeka omwoyo gwange mu mikono gyo; ondokole, Ayi Mukama, Katonda ow’amazima.
6 You 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 your mercy: for you have looked upon mine affliction; you have saved my soul from distresses.
Nnaajaguzanga ne nsanyukira mu kwagala kwo, kubanga olabye okubonaabona kwange era omanyi ennaku endi ku mwoyo.
8 And you have not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: you have 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 amongst 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 lived 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 you, O Lord: I said, You are my God.
Naye nneesiga ggwe, Ayi Mukama; nga njogera nti, “Oli Katonda wange.”
15 My lots are in your 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 your face to shine upon your servant: save me in your mercy.
Amaaso go ogatunuulize omuweereza wo; ondokole n’okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo.
17 O Lord, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon you: 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 your goodness, O Lord, which you have laid up for them that fear you! you have wrought [it] out for them that hope on you, 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 You will hide them in the secret of your presence from the vexation of man: you will 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 your eyes: therefore you did listen, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication when I cried to you.
Bwe natya ennyo ne njogera nti, “Ngobeddwa mu maaso go.” Kyokka wampulira nga nkukaabirira n’onsaasira.
23 Love the Lord, all you 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 you that hope in the Lord.
Muddeemu amaanyi mugume omwoyo mmwe mwenna abalina essuubi mu Mukama.
