< Psalms 27 >
1 A Psalme of David. The Lord is my light and my saluation, whom shall I feare? the Lord is the strength of my life, of whome shall I be afraide?
Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Mukama gwe musana gwange n’obulokozi bwange; ani gwe nnaatyanga? Mukama ge maanyi ag’obulamu bwange; ani asobola okuntiisa?
2 When the wicked, euen mine enemies and my foes came vpon mee to eate vp my flesh; they stumbled and fell.
Abalabe bange n’abantu ababi bonna bwe banannumba nga baagala okunzita, baneesittala ne bagwa.
3 Though an hoste pitched against me, mine heart should not be afraide: though warre be raised against me, I will trust in this.
Newaakubadde ng’eggye linaasiisira okunneebungulula, omutima gwange teguutyenga; olutalo ne bwe lunansitukirangako, nnaabanga mugumu.
4 One thing haue I desired of the Lord, that I will require, euen that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the dayes of my life, to beholde the beautie of the Lord, and to visite his Temple.
Ekintu kimu kye nsaba Mukama, era ekyo kye nnoonya: okubeeranga mu nnyumba ya Mukama ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwange, ne ndabanga obulungi bwa Mukama, era ne nsinzizanga mu Yeekaalu ye.
5 For in the time of trouble hee shall hide mee in his Tabernacle: in the secrete place of his pauillion shall he hide me, and set me vp vpon a rocke.
Kubanga mu biseera eby’obuzibu anansuzanga mu nju ye; anankwekanga mu weema ye, n’ankuumira ku lwazi olugulumivu.
6 And nowe shall hee lift vp mine head aboue mine enemies rounde about mee: therefore wil I offer in his Tabernacle sacrifices of ioy: I wil sing and praise the Lord.
Olwo ononnyimusanga waggulu w’abalabe bange abanneetoolodde. Nnaaweerangayo ssaddaaka mu weema ye nga bwe ntendereza n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka olw’essanyu; nnaayimbiranga Mukama ennyimba ez’okumutenderezanga.
7 Hearken vnto my voyce, O Lord, when I crie: haue mercie also vpon mee and heare mee.
Wulira eddoboozi lyange, Ayi Mukama, nga nkukoowoola; onkwatirwe ekisa onnyanukule!
8 When thou saidest, Seeke ye my face, mine heart answered vnto thee, O Lord, I will seeke thy face.
Omutima gwange guwulidde eddoboozi lyo nga lyogera nti, “Munnoonye, munsinze.” Omutima gwange ne guddamu nti, “Nnaakunoonyanga, Ayi Mukama.”
9 Hide not therefore thy face from mee, nor cast thy seruat away in displeasure: thou hast bene my succour: leaue me not, neither forsake mee, O God of my saluation.
Tonneekweka, so tonyiigira muweereza wo, kubanga ggw’obadde omubeezi wange bulijjo. Tonneggyaako, so tonsuula, Ayi Katonda, Omulokozi wange.
10 Though my father and my mother shoulde forsake me, yet the Lord will gather me vp.
Kitange ne mmange bwe balindeka, Mukama anandabiriranga.
11 Teache mee thy way, O Lord, and leade me in a right path, because of mine enemies.
Njigiriza, Ayi Mukama, by’oyagala nkole, era onkulembere mu kkubo lyo, kubanga abalabe bange banneetoolodde.
12 Giue me not vnto the lust of mine aduersaries: for there are false witnesses risen vp against me, and such as speake cruelly.
Tompaayo mu balabe bange, kubanga abajulizi ab’obulimba bansitukiddeko n’enkwe zaabwe, okunkambuwalira.
13 I should haue fainted, except I had beleeued to see the goodnes of the Lord in the land of the liuing.
Nkyakakasiza ddala nga ndiraba obulungi bwa Mukama mu nsi ey’abalamu.
14 Hope in the Lord: be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart, and trust in the Lord.
Lindirira Mukama. Ddamu amaanyi, ogume omwoyo. Weewaawo, lindirira Mukama.
