Psalms 35
1 For David himself. Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me.
Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Mukama, wakanya abo abampakanya, lwanyisa abo abannwanyisa.
2 Take hold of arms and shield: and rise up to help me.
Golokoka okwate engabo, n’akagabo onziruukirire.
3 Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul: I am thy salvation.
Galula effumu, abangigganya obazibire ekkubo; otegeeze omwoyo gwange nti, “Nze bulokozi bwo.”
4 Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.
Abo bonna abannoonya okunzita bajolongebwe era baswazibwe; abo abateesa okunsanyaawo bazzibweyo ennyuma babune emiwabo.
5 Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.
Babe ng’ebisusunku ebifuumuulibwa empewo, malayika wa Mukama ng’abagoba.
6 Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
Ekkubo lyabwe libe lya kizikiza era lijjule obuseerezi, ne malayika wa Mukama ng’abagoba.
7 For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul.
Nga bwe bantega omutego nga siriiko kye mbakoze, ne bansimira n’ekinnya mu kkubo lyange awatali nsonga,
8 Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and into that very snare let them fall.
bazikirizibwe nga tebategedde, n’omutego gwe banteze be baba bagugwamu, era bagwe ne mu kinnya kiri bazikirire.
9 But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.
Omwoyo gwange ne gulyoka gujaguliza mu Mukama, ne gusanyukira mu bulokozi bwe.
10 All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him.
Amagumba gange galyogera nti, “Ani afaanana nga ggwe, Ayi Mukama? Kubanga abaavu obadduukirira n’obawonya ababasinza amaanyi, n’abali mu kwetaaga n’obawonya abanyazi.”
11 Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.
Abajulizi abakambwe bagolokoka ne bambuuza ebintu bye sirinaako kye mmanyi.
12 They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul.
Bwe mbayisa obulungi bo bampisa bubi, ne banakuwaza omwoyo gwange.
13 But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.
So nga bwe baalwala nanakuwala ne nnyambala ebibukutu, ne neerumya nga nsiiba, ne nsaba Mukama nga nkotese omutwe, naye okusaba kwange bwe kutaddibwamu,
14 As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.
ne mbeera mu nnaku ng’ankungubagira ow’omukwano oba owooluganda nkoteka omutwe gwange mu buyinike ng’akaabira nnyina.
15 But they rejoiced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.
Naye bwe nagwa mu kabi ne beekuŋŋaanya nga basanyuse; ne bannumba nga simanyi, ne bampayiriza obutata.
16 They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Banduulidde n’ettima ng’abatamanyi Katonda bwe bakola, ne bannumira obujiji.
17 Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice: my only one from the lions.
Ayi Mukama, olituusa ddi ng’otunula butunuzi? Nziruukirira nga bannumba, obulamu bwange obuwonye okutaagulwataagulwa, obulamu bwange obw’omuwendo eri empologoma zino.
18 I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.
Nnaakwebalizanga mu lukuŋŋaana olukulu, ne nkutenderezanga mu kibiina ky’abantu abangi ennyo.
19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.
Tokkiriza balabe bange kunneeyagalirako, abankyawa awatali nsonga; abankyayira obwereere tobakkiriza kunziimuula.
20 For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.
Teboogera bya mirembe, wabula okuwaayiriza abantu abeetuulidde emirembe mu nsi.
21 And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.
Banjasamiza akamwa kaabwe ne boogera nti, “Leero luno, ky’okoze tukirabye n’amaaso gaffe.”
22 Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not from me.
Bino byonna obirabye, Ayi Mukama. Noolwekyo tosirika. Tonsuulirira, Ayi Mukama.
23 Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: to my cause, my God, and my Lord.
Golokoka ojje onnyambe; nnwanirira Ayi Katonda wange era Mukama wange.
24 Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, and let them not rejoice over me.
Mu butuukirivu bwo nnejjeereza, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, tobaganya kunneeyagalirako.
25 Let them not say in their hearts: It is well, it is well, to our mind: neither let them say: We have swallowed him up.
Tobaleka kulowooza nti, “Leero luno! Kino kye twali twagala!” Oba nti, “Tumusaanyizzaawo!”
26 Let them blush: and be ashamed together, who rejoice at my evils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things against me.
Abo bonna abanneeyagalirako olw’ennaku yange ne beesanyusa, batabulwetabulwe era baswazibwe; abo bonna abanneegulumirizaako baswazibwe era banyoomebwe.
27 Let them rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, and let them say always: The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant.
Abo abasanyuka ng’annejjeereza, baleekaanire waggulu olw’essanyu n’okujaganya; era boogerenga nti, “Mukama agulumizibwe, asanyuka omuweereza we ng’atebenkedde.”
28 Any my tongue shall meditate thy justice, thy praise all the day long.
Olulimi lwange lunaayogeranga ku butuukirivu bwo, era nnaakutenderezanga olunaku lwonna.
