Psalms 71
1 In thee, Jehovah, do I trust: let me never be ashamed.
Mu ggwe, Ayi Mukama, mwe neekweka, tondeka kuswazibwa.
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
Mu butuukirivu bwo ondokole, omponye; ontegere okutu ondokole.
3 Be to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
Onfuukire olwazi obuddukiro bwange, ekifo eky’amaanyi; ondokole kubanga oli lwazi lwange era ekiddukiro kyange.
4 My God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
Ayi Katonda wange omponye mu mukono gw’ababi, omponye abantu abatali batuukirivu era abakambwe.
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah, my confidence from my youth.
Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, ggwe ssuubi lyange; ggwe, ggwe neesiga, okuviira ddala mu buvubuka bwange.
6 On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee.
Neesiga ggwe kasookedde nzalibwa; ggwe wanziggya mu lubuto lwa mmange. Nnaakutenderezanga ennaku zonna.
7 I have been as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
Eri abangi nafuuka; naye ggwe kiddukiro kyange eky’amaanyi.
8 My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, with thy glory, all the day.
Akamwa kange kajjudde ettendo lyo, nga ntenda ekitiibwa kyo obudde okuziba.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
Tonsuula mu kiseera kyange eky’obukadde. Tondekerera ng’amaanyi gampweddemu.
10 For mine enemies speak against me, and they that watch for my soul consult together,
Kubanga abalabe bange banjogerako; abo abaagala okunzita bansalira olukwe.
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver.
Bagamba nti, “Katonda amulese, ka tumugobe tumukwate, kubanga taliiko anaamuwonya.”
12 O God, be not far from me; my God, hasten to my help.
Ayi Katonda, tombera wala, Ayi Katonda wange, yanguwa ojje ombeere.
13 Let them be ashamed, let them be consumed, that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
Abo abampawaabira bazikirizibwe nga bajjudde ensonyi, abanoonya okunnumya baswale era banyoomebwe.
14 But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.
Naye nze nnaabanga n’essuubi ennaku zonna. Era nneeyongeranga okukutenderezanga.
15 My mouth shall declare thy righteousness, [and] thy salvation all the day: for I know not the numbers [thereof].
Akamwa kange kanaayogeranga ku bikolwa byo eby’obutuukirivu obudde okuziba; nnaayogeranga ku bulokozi bwo, wadde siyinza kubupima.
16 I will go in the might of the Lord Jehovah; I will recall thy righteousness, thine alone.
Nnaatambuliranga mu maanyi go, Ayi Mukama Katonda, era ne ntegeezanga nti ggwe wekka ggwe mutuukirivu.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I proclaimed thy marvellous works:
Ayi Katonda, ggwe wanjigiriza okuva mu buvubuka bwange; n’okutuusa leero nkyatenda ebikolwa byo eby’ekitalo.
18 Now also, when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not, until I have proclaimed thine arm unto [this] generation, thy might to every one that is to come.
Ne bwe ndiba nga nkaddiye nga mmeze n’envi, tonjabuliranga, Ayi Katonda, okutuusiza ddala nga mmaze okutendera abo abaliddawo amaanyi go amangi, n’okumanyisa emirembe egigenda okujja obuyinza bwo.
19 And thy righteousness, O God, reacheth on high, thou who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee?
N’obutuukirivu bwo, Ayi Katonda, butuuka mu ggulu. Ggw’okoze ebikulu, Ayi Katonda, ani akwenkana?
20 Thou, who hast shewn us many and sore troubles, wilt revive us again, and wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth;
Newaakubadde wandeka ne mbonaabona nnyo bwe ntyo, ggw’olinzizaamu obulamu, n’ompa amaanyi amaggya, n’onnyimusa okuva mu kinnya ekiwanvu ennyo wansi w’ensi.
21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
Olinnyongerako ekitiibwa n’oddamu okunsanyusa.
22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, my God; unto thee will I sing psalms with the harp, thou holy One of Israel.
Nnaakutenderezanga ne nnanga ey’enkoba olw’obwesigwa bwo, Ayi Katonda wange; nnaakutenderezanga n’entongooli, Ayi ggwe Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri.
23 My lips shall exult when I sing psalms unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
Nnaayimusanga eddoboozi lyange olw’essanyu nga nkutendereza, nze gw’onunudde!
24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day; for they shall be ashamed, for they shall be brought to confusion, that seek my hurt.
Olulimi lwange nalwo lunaayogeranga ku bikolwa byo eby’obutuukirivu obudde okuziba, kubanga abo ababadde baagala okunkola akabi otabuddetabudde enkwe zaabwe ne baswazibwa.
