Psalms 64

1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice in my plaint; preserve my life from fear of the enemy:

Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Katonda, owulire eddoboozi lyange, ery’okwemulugunya kwange; okuume obulamu bwange eri okutiisibwatiisibwa omulabe.

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity,

Onkweke mpone enkwe z’abakola ebibi, onzigye mu kibinja ky’aboonoonyi, abaleekaana

3 Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;

abawagala ennimi zaabwe ng’ebitala, ne balasa ebigambo byabwe ng’obusaale obutta.

4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

Beekweka ne bateega oyo atalina musango bamulase; amangwago ne bamulasa nga tebatya.

5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them?

Bawagiragana mu kigendererwa kyabwe ekibi ne bateesa okutega emitego mu kyama; ne boogera nti, “Ani asobola okutulaba?”

6 They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward [thought] and heart is deep.

Beekobaana okukola ebitali bya bwenkanya, ne boogera nti, “Tukoze enteekateeka empitirivu.” Ddala ddala ebirowoozo by’omuntu n’omutima gwe byekusifu.

7 But God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;

Naye Katonda alibalasa n’obusaale bwe; alibafumita, mangwago ne bagwa ku ttaka.

8 By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.

Ebyo bye boogera biribaddira, ne bibazikiriza, ababalaba ne babanyeenyeza emitwe.

9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.

Olwo abantu bonna ne batya, ne bategeeza abalala omulimu gwa Katonda, ne bafumiitiriza ku ebyo by’akoze.

10 The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Omutuukirivu ajagulizenga mu Mukama, era yeekwekenga mu ye. Abo bonna abalina omutima omulongoofu bamutenderezenga!
