Psalms 36
1 For the music director. A psalm of David, servant of the Lord. Evil speaks to the wicked, deep down in their minds, for in their eyes they have no need to respect God.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Nnina obubaka mu mutima gwange obukwata ku bwonoonyi bw’omukozi w’ebibi. N’okutya tatya Katonda.
2 In their own eyes they're so wonderful that they can't even see their sin and do something about it.
Ye nga bw’alaba yeewaanawaana n’atasobola kutegeera oba okukyawa ekibi kye.
3 Whatever they say is deceptive and deceitful. They no longer do anything wisely or for good.
Ebigambo ebiva mu kamwa ke biba bibi era nga bya bulimba; takyalina magezi era takyakola birungi.
4 Even when they're lying in bed they think up evil schemes. They commit themselves to a way of life that is no good. They choose evil, and don't reject it.
Ne ku kitanda kye afumiitiriza ebibi by’anaakola; amalirira okutambuliranga mu kkubo ekyamu, era ebitali bituufu tabyewala.
5 Lord, your faithful love reaches to the heavens, your trustworthiness to the clouds.
Okwagala kwo, Ayi Mukama, kutuuka ne ku ggulu; obwesigwa bwo butuuka ku bire.
6 Your goodness is like the highest mountains, your fairness is like the deepest oceans. Lord, you save both the people and the animals.
Obutuukirivu bwo bugulumivu ng’agasozi aganene, n’obwenkanya bwo buwanvu nnyo ng’ennyanja ennene ennyo. Ayi Mukama, olabirira abantu n’ebisolo.
7 God, how priceless is your trustworthy love! Everyone can find protection under the shelter of your wings.
Okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo nga tekugeraageranyizika. Ab’ebitiibwa n’abatali ba bitiibwa baddukira mu biwaawaatiro byo.
8 They gain strength from the wonderful food you provide in your house; you give them drink from your refreshing river.
Balya ku bingi eby’omu nnyumba yo ne bakkuta; obawa ebyokunywa by’omugga gwo ogwesiimisa.
9 You are the source of life; you are the light by which we see.
Kubanga gw’olina ensulo ey’obulamu, era gw’otwakiza omusana.
10 Extend your trustworthy love to those who know you, and your goodness to those who truly live right.
Yongeranga okwagala abo abakutegeera, era n’obutuukirivu bwo eri abo abalina emitima emirongoofu.
11 Don't let the arrogant trample me down; don't let the wicked drive me out.
Ab’amalala baleme okunninnyirira, wadde ababi okunsindiikiriza.
12 Now look! See how those who do evil have fallen—thrown down, unable to get up.
Laba, ababi nga bwe bagudde! Basuuliddwa wansi era tebasobola na ku golokokawo.
