Psalms 16
1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for I trust in thee.
Ya Dawudi. Onkuume, Ayi Katonda, kubanga ggwe buddukiro bwange.
2 Thou [my soul] hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; —
Nagamba Mukama nti, “Ggwe Mukama wange, ebirungi byonna bye nnina biva gy’oli.”
3 To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent [thou hast said], In them is all my delight.
Abatukuvu abali mu nsi be njagala era mu bo mwe nsanyukira.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips.
Ennaku y’abo abagoberera bakatonda abalala yeeyongera. Siriwaayo ssaddaaka zaabwe ez’omusaayi, wadde okusinza bakatonda baabwe.
5 Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
Mukama, ggwe mugabo gwange, era ggw’oliisa obulamu bwange; era ggw’olabirira ebyange.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
Ensalo zange ziri mu bifo ebisanyusa, ddala ddala omugabo omulungi.
7 I will bless Jehovah, who giveth me counsel; even in the nights my reins instruct me.
Nnaatenderezanga Mukama kubanga annuŋŋamya ne mu kiro ayigiriza omutima gwange.
8 I have set Jehovah continually before me; because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Nkulembeza Mukama buli kiseera, era ali ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo, siinyeenyezebwenga.
9 Therefore my heart rejoiceth, and my glory exulteth; my flesh moreover shall dwell in hope.
Noolwekyo omutima gwange gusanyuka, n’akamwa kange ne kajaguza; era n’omubiri gwange gunaabeeranga mu mirembe.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Kubanga omwoyo gwange toliguleka magombe, wadde okukkiriza Omutukuvu wo okuvunda. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
Olindaga ekkubo ery’obulamu; w’oli we wanaabanga essanyu erijjuvu, era mu mukono gwo ogwa ddyo nga mwe muli ebisanyusa emirembe gyonna.
