Psalms 56
1 For the music director. According to “Dove on Distant Oaks.” A psalm (miktam) of David concerning the time the Philistines captured him in Gath. God, please be gracious to me, for people are persecuting me; my attackers fight against me all day long.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Abafirisuuti bwe baamukwatira mu Gaasi. Onsaasire, Ayi Katonda, kubanga abalabe bange banjigganya; buli lunaku bannumba n’amaanyi.
2 My enemies chase me down all the time—there are many of them, attacking me in their arrogance.
Abalabe bange bannondoola, bangi bannwanyisa nga bajjudde amalala.
3 But when I'm afraid, I trust in you.
Buli lwe ntya, neesiga ggwe.
4 I thank God for his promises. I trust in God, so why should I be fearful? What can mere human beings do to me?
Nditendereza Katonda ne nyweerera mu kigambo kye, ye Katonda gwe neesiga; siityenga. Abantu obuntu bagenda kunkolako ki?
5 They constantly twist my words against me; they spend all their time thinking of evil things to do to me.
Olunaku lwonna bye njogera babifuulafuula; ebbanga lyonna baba basala nkwe kunkola kabi.
6 They gather together in their hiding places to keep watch on me, hoping to kill me.
Beekobaana ne bateesa, banneekwekerera ne bawuliriza enswagiro zange; nga bannindirira banzite.
7 Will they escape when they do so much evil? God, in anger bring these people down!
Tobakkiriza kudduka ne bawona; mu busungu bwo, Ayi Katonda, osuule amawanga.
8 You've kept track of all my wanderings. You've collected all my tears in your bottle. You've kept a record of each one.
Emirundi gye ntawaanyizibwa nga njaziirana ogimanyi; amaziga gange gateeke mu ccupa yo! Wagawandiika.
9 Then those who hate me will run away when I call for your help. For I know this: God is for me!
Bwe nkukoowoola, abalabe bange nga badduka. Kino nkimanyi kubanga Katonda ali ku ludda lwange.
10 I thank God for his promises. I thank the Lord for his promises.
Katonda gwe ntendereza olw’ekisuubizo kye; Mukama gwe ntendereza olw’ekisuubizo kye;
11 I trust in God, so why should I be fearful? What can mere human beings do to me?
Katonda oyo gwe neesiga, siityenga. Abantu bayinza kunkolako ki?
12 God, I will keep my promises to you. I will give thank offerings to you,
Ndituukiriza obweyamo bwange gy’oli, Ayi Katonda; ndikuleetera ebirabo eby’okukwebaza.
13 for you have saved me from death and kept me from falling. Now I walk in the presence of God, in the light that gives life.
Kubanga emmeeme yange ogiwonyezza okufa. Ebigere byange tobiwonyezza okwesittala; ne ndyoka ntambulira mu maaso ga Katonda mu musana nga ndi mulamu?
