Psalms 48
1 A Canticle Psalm. To the sons of Korah, on the second Sabbath. The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy, in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.
Oluyimba. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Mukama mukulu, asaanira okutenderezebwa ennyo mu kibuga kya Katonda waffe, ku lusozi lwe olutukuvu.
2 Mount Zion is being founded with the exultation of the whole earth, on the north side, the city of the great king.
Sayuuni lwe lusozi lwe olulungi olugulumivu, olusanyusa ensi yonna. Ku ntikko Zafoni kwe kuli ekibuga kya Kabaka Omukulu;
3 In her houses, God will be known, since he will support her.
Katonda mw’abeera; yeeraze okuba ekigo kye.
4 For behold, the kings of the earth have been gathered together; they have convened as one.
Kale laba, bakabaka b’ensi baakuŋŋaana ne bakyolekera bakirumbe;
5 Such did they see, and they were astonished: they were disturbed, they were moved.
bwe baakituukako ne bakyewuunya, ne batya nnyo ne badduka;
6 Trembling took hold of them. In that place, their pains were that of a woman in labor.
nga bakankana, ne bajjula obulumi ng’omukazi alumwa okuzaala.
7 With a vehement spirit, you will crush the ships of Tarshish.
Wabazikiriza ng’omuyaga ogw’ebuvanjuba bwe guzikiriza ebyombo by’e Talusiisi.
8 As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God. God has founded it in eternity.
Ebyo bye twawuliranga obuwulizi, kaakano tubirabye mu kibuga kya Mukama ow’Eggye, mu kibuga kya Katonda waffe, kyalinywereza ddala emirembe gyonna.
9 We have received your mercy, O God, in the midst of your temple.
Ayi Katonda, tufumiitiriza ku kwagala kwo okutaggwaawo nga tuli mu Yeekaalu yo.
10 According to your name, O God, so does your praise reach to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of justice.
Erinnya lyo nga bwe liri ekkulu, Ayi Katonda, bw’otyo bw’otenderezebwa mu nsi yonna. Omukono gwo ogwa ddyo gujjudde obuwanguzi.
11 Let mount Zion rejoice, and let the daughters of Judah exult, because of your judgments, O Lord.
Sanyuka gwe Sayuuni, musanyuke mmwe ebibuga bya Yuda; kubanga Katonda alamula bya nsonga.
12 Encircle Zion and embrace her. Discourse in her towers.
Mutambule mu Sayuuni, mukibune; mubale n’ebigo byakyo.
13 Set your hearts on her virtue. And distribute her houses, so that you may discourse of it in another generation.
Mwekalirize nnyo munda wa bbugwe waakyo n’olusiisira lw’amaggye lwamu lwonna; mulyoke mutegeeze ab’emirembe egiriddawo.
14 For this is God, our God, in eternity and forever and ever. He will rule us forever.
Kubanga Katonda ono, ye Katonda waffe emirembe gyonna; y’anaatuluŋŋamyanga ennaku zonna okutuusa okufa.
