Psalms 68
1 Unto the end, a psalm of a canticle for David himself. Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: and let them that hate him flee from before his face.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Oluyimba lwa Dawudi. Katonda agolokoke, abalabe be basaasaane, n’abo abamukyawa bamudduke.
2 As smoke vanisheth, so let them vanish away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
Ng’empewo bw’efuumuula omukka, naawe bafuumuule bw’otyo; envumbo nga bw’esaanuuka mu muliro, n’abakola ebibi bazikirire bwe batyo mu maaso ga Katonda!
3 And let the just feast, and rejoice before God: and be delighted with gladness.
Naye abatuukirivu basanyuke bajagulize mu maaso ga Katonda, nga bajjudde essanyu.
4 Sing ye to God, sing a psalm to his name, make a way for him who ascendeth upon the west: the Lord is his name. Rejoice ye before him: but the wicked shall be troubled at his presence,
Muyimbire Katonda, muyimbe nga mutendereza erinnya lye; mumuyimusize amaloboozi gammwe oyo atambulira mu bire. Erinnya lye ye Mukama, mujagulize mu maaso ge.
5 Who is the father of orphans, and the judge of widows. God in his holy place:
Ye Kitaawe w’abataliiko bakitaabwe, ye mukuumi wa bannamwandu; ye Katonda abeera mu kifo kye ekitukuvu.
6 God who maketh men of one manner to dwell in a house: Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres.
Katonda afunira abatalina we babeera ekifo eky’okubeeramu, aggya abasibe mu kkomera n’abagaggawaza; naye abajeemu babeera mu bifo bikalu ddala.
7 O God, when thou didst go forth in the sight of thy people, when thou didst pass through the desert:
Ayi Katonda, bwe wakulembera abantu bo, n’obayisa mu ddungu,
8 The earth was moved, and the heavens dropped at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence of the God of Israel.
ensi yakankana, eggulu ne lifukumula enkuba mu maaso ga Katonda; n’olusozi Sinaayi ne lukankana awali Katonda, Katonda wa Isirayiri!
9 Thou shalt set aside for thy inheritance a free rain, O God: and it was weakened, but thou hast made it perfect.
Watonnyesa enkuba nnyingi ku nsi, Ayi Katonda; ensi y’obusika bwo n’ogizzaamu obugimu bwe bwali nga buggweerera;
10 In it shall thy animals dwell; in thy sweetness, O God, thou hast provided for the poor.
abantu bo ne babeera omwo; era olw’ekisa kyo ekingi, Ayi Katonda, abaavu ne bafuna bye beetaaga okuva ku bugagga bwo.
11 The Lord shall give the word to them that preach good tidings with great power.
Mukama yalangirira; ne babunyisa ekigambo kye; baali bangi ne boogera nti:
12 The king of powers is of the beloved, of the beloved; and the beauty of the house shall divide spoils.
“Bakabaka badduse n’amaggye gaabwe; abantu ne bagabana omunyago.
13 If you sleep among the midst of lots, you shall be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and the hinder parts of her back with the paleness of gold.
Balabe bwe banyirira n’obugagga bwa ffeeza ne zaabu! Babikkiddwa ng’ejjuba bwe libikkibwa ebiwaawaatiro byalyo.”
14 When he that is in heaven appointeth kings over her, they shall be whited with snow in Selmon.
Ayinzabyonna yasaasaanya bakabaka, ne baba ng’omuzira bwe gugwa ku Zalumoni.
15 The mountain of God is a fat mountain. A curdled mountain, a fat mountain.
Ggwe olusozi olw’ekitiibwa, olusozi lwa Basani; ggwe olusozi olw’emitwe emingi, olusozi lwa Basani!
16 Why suspect, ye curdled mountains? A mountain in which God is well pleased to dwell: for there the Lord shall dwell unto the end.
Lwaki otunuza obuggya ggwe olusozi olw’emitwe emingi? Lwaki okwatirwa obuggya olusozi Katonda lwe yalonda okufugirako? Ddala okwo Mukama kw’anaabeeranga ennaku zonna.
17 The chariot of God is attended by ten thousands; thousands of them that rejoice: the Lord is among them in Sina, in the holy place.
Mukama ava ku lusozi Sinaayi nga yeetooloddwa amagaali enkumi n’enkumi n’ajja mu kifo kye ekitukuvu.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive; thou hast received gifts in men. Yea for those also that do not believe, the dwelling of the Lord God.
Bwe walinnyalinnya olusozi, ng’abanyage bakugoberera; abantu ne bakuwa ebirabo nga ne bakyewaggula mwebali; bw’atyo Mukama Katonda n’abeeranga wamu nabo.
19 Blessed be the Lord day by day: the God of our salvation will make our journey prosperous to us.
Atenderezebwe Mukama, Katonda omulokozi waffe, eyeetikka emigugu gyaffe egya buli lunaku.
20 Our God is the God of salvation: and of the Lord, of the Lord are the issues from death.
Katonda waffe ye Katonda alokola; era tuddukira eri Mukama Katonda okuwona okufa.
21 But God shall break the heads of his enemies: the hairy crown of them that walk on in their sins.
Ddala, Katonda alibetenta emitwe gy’abalabe be, kubanga ne mu bukadde bwabwe balemera mu bibi byabwe.
22 The Lord said: I will turn them from Basan, I will turn them into the depth of the sea:
Mukama agamba nti, “Ndibakomyawo nga mbaggya mu Basani, ndibazza nga mbaggya mu buziba bw’ennyanja,
23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies; the tongue of thy dogs be red with the same.
mulyoke munaabe ebigere byammwe mu musaayi gw’abalabe bammwe, n’embwa zammwe zeefunire ebyokulya.”
24 They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God: of my king who is in his sanctuary.
Ekibiina kyo ky’okulembedde bakirabye, Ayi Katonda, balabye abali ne Katonda wange, era Kabaka wange, ng’otambula okugenda mu watukuvu;
25 Princes went before joined with singers, in the midst of young damsels playing on timbrels.
abayimbi nga bakulembedde, ab’ebivuga nga bavaako emabega ne wakati waabwe nga waliwo abawala abakuba ebitaasa.
26 In the churches bless ye God the Lord, from the fountains of Israel.
Mutendereze Katonda mu kibiina ekinene; mumutendereze Mukama, mmwe abakuŋŋaanye abangi Abayisirayiri.
27 There is Benjamin a youth, in ecstasy of mind. The princes of Juda are their leaders: the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.
Waliwo ekika kya Benyamini asinga obuto kye kikulembedde, ne kuddako ekibinja ekinene eky’abalangira ba Yuda, n’abalangira ba Zebbulooni n’abalangira ba Nafutaali.
28 Command thy strength, O God: confirm, O God, what thou hast wrought in us.
Laga obuyinza bwo, Ayi Katonda, otulage amaanyi go, Ayi Katonda onyweze ebyo by’otukoledde.
29 From thy temple in Jerusalem, kings shall offer presents to thee.
Bakabaka balikuleetera ebirabo olwa Yeekaalu yo eri mu Yerusaalemi.
30 Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, the congregation of bulls with the kine of the people; who seek to exclude them who are tried with silver. Scatter thou the nations that delight in wars:
Nenya ensolo enkambwe ey’omu bisaalu, eggana lya ziseddume eriri mu nnyana z’amawanga. Gikkakkanye ereete omusolo ogwa ffeeza. Osaasaanye amawanga agasanyukira entalo.
31 Ambassadors shall come out of Egypt: Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God.
Ababaka baliva e Misiri, ne Kuusi aligondera Katonda.
32 Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth: sing ye to the Lord: Sing ye to God,
Muyimbire Katonda mmwe obwakabaka obw’ensi zonna. Mutendereze Mukama.
33 Who mounteth above the heaven of heavens, to the east. Behold he will give to his voice the voice of power:
Oyo eyeebagala eggulu erya waggulu ery’edda, eddoboozi lye ery’amaanyi liwuluguma okuva mu ggulu.
34 Give ye glory to God for Israel, his magnificence, and his power is in the clouds.
Mulangirire obuyinza bwa Katonda, ekitiibwa kye kibuutikidde Isirayiri; obuyinza bwe buli mu bire.
35 God is wonderful in his saints: the God of Israel is he who will give power and strength to his people. Blessed be God.
Oli wa ntiisa, Ayi Katonda, mu kifo kyo ekitukuvu. Katonda wa Isirayiri, yawa abantu obuyinza n’amaanyi. Katonda atenderezebwe.
