Psalms 97
1 The Lord reigns! Let the earth be glad, and distant lands be full of joy!
Mukama afuga; ensi esanyuke, n’embalama eziri ewala zijaguze.
2 He is surrounded by clouds and thick darkness; his throne is founded on justice and right.
Ebire n’ekizikiza bimwetooloola; obutuukirivu n’obwenkanya gwe musingi gw’entebe y’obwakabaka bwe.
3 Flames proceed him, burning up his enemies on every side.
Omuliro gumukulembera ne gwokya abalabe be ku njuyi zonna.
4 His flashes of lightning light up the world; the earth watches and trembles.
Okumyansa kwe kumulisa ensi; ensi n’ekulaba n’ekankana.
5 The mountains melt like wax in the presence of the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.
Ensozi zisaanuuka ng’envumbo awali Mukama, mu maaso ga Mukama ow’ensi yonna.
6 The heavens proclaim his goodness; everyone sees his glory.
Eggulu lirangirira obutuukirivu bwe; n’abantu bonna ne balaba ekitiibwa kye.
7 All those who worship idols are humiliated, those who are proud of their idols—for all “gods” bow down before him.
Abasinza ebifaananyi ebikole n’emikono bonna baswadde, abo abeenyumiririza mu bifaananyi ebyole. Mumusinze mwe mwenna bakatonda.
8 Jerusalem hears this and celebrates; all the towns of Judah are happy because of your judgments, Lord.
Sayuuni akiwulira n’asanyuka, n’ebyalo bya Yuda bijaguza; kubanga ogoberera eby’ensonga, Ayi Katonda.
9 For you, Lord, are the highest of all, ruling over the whole earth; your position is far above any other god.
Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, oli waggulu nnyo okusinga ensi; ogulumizibwa okusinga bakatonda bonna.
10 You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of those who are faithful to him, and saves them from the power of wicked people.
Abo abaagala Mukama bakyawa ekibi, akuuma obulamu bw’abamwesiga, n’abawonya okuva mu mukono gw’omukozi w’ebibi.
11 Light shines on those who do good, giving joy to those who live right.
Omusana gwe gwakira abatuukirivu, n’abalina omutima ogw’amazima bajjula essanyu.
12 Be happy in the Lord, you who do right, and thank him for his holy nature!
Musanyukirenga mu Mukama mmwe abatuukirivu, era mwebazenga erinnya lye ettukuvu.
