< Psalms 97 >
1 Jehovah reigneth: let the earth be glad, let the many isles rejoice.
Mukama afuga; ensi esanyuke, n’embalama eziri ewala zijaguze.
2 Clouds and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.
Ebire n’ekizikiza bimwetooloola; obutuukirivu n’obwenkanya gwe musingi gw’entebe y’obwakabaka bwe.
3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his adversaries round about.
Omuliro gumukulembera ne gwokya abalabe be ku njuyi zonna.
4 His lightnings lightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
Okumyansa kwe kumulisa ensi; ensi n’ekulaba n’ekankana.
5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
Ensozi zisaanuuka ng’envumbo awali Mukama, mu maaso ga Mukama ow’ensi yonna.
6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory.
Eggulu lirangirira obutuukirivu bwe; n’abantu bonna ne balaba ekitiibwa kye.
7 Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols. Worship him, all ye gods.
Abasinza ebifaananyi ebikole n’emikono bonna baswadde, abo abeenyumiririza mu bifaananyi ebyole. Mumusinze mwe mwenna bakatonda.
8 Zion heard, and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.
Sayuuni akiwulira n’asanyuka, n’ebyalo bya Yuda bijaguza; kubanga ogoberera eby’ensonga, Ayi Katonda.
9 For thou, Jehovah, art the Most High above all the earth; thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.
Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, oli waggulu nnyo okusinga ensi; ogulumizibwa okusinga bakatonda bonna.
10 Ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints, he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
Abo abaagala Mukama bakyawa ekibi, akuuma obulamu bw’abamwesiga, n’abawonya okuva mu mukono gw’omukozi w’ebibi.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
Omusana gwe gwakira abatuukirivu, n’abalina omutima ogw’amazima bajjula essanyu.
12 Rejoice in Jehovah, ye righteous; and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.
Musanyukirenga mu Mukama mmwe abatuukirivu, era mwebazenga erinnya lye ettukuvu.
