Psalms 35
1 A Psalm of David. Strive, O LORD, with them that strive with me; fight against them that fight against me.
Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Mukama, wakanya abo abampakanya, lwanyisa abo abannwanyisa.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise up to my help.
Golokoka okwate engabo, n’akagabo onziruukirire.
3 Draw out also the spear, and the battle-axe, against them that pursue me; say unto my soul: 'I am Thy salvation.'
Galula effumu, abangigganya obazibire ekkubo; otegeeze omwoyo gwange nti, “Nze bulokozi bwo.”
4 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned back and be abashed that devise my hurt.
Abo bonna abannoonya okunzita bajolongebwe era baswazibwe; abo abateesa okunsanyaawo bazzibweyo ennyuma babune emiwabo.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, the angel of the LORD thrusting them.
Babe ng’ebisusunku ebifuumuulibwa empewo, malayika wa Mukama ng’abagoba.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
Ekkubo lyabwe libe lya kizikiza era lijjule obuseerezi, ne malayika wa Mukama ng’abagoba.
7 For without cause have they hid for me the pit, even their net, without cause have they digged for my soul.
Nga bwe bantega omutego nga siriiko kye mbakoze, ne bansimira n’ekinnya mu kkubo lyange awatali nsonga,
8 Let destruction come upon him unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself; with destruction let him fall therein.
bazikirizibwe nga tebategedde, n’omutego gwe banteze be baba bagugwamu, era bagwe ne mu kinnya kiri bazikirire.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD; it shall rejoice in His salvation.
Omwoyo gwange ne gulyoka gujaguliza mu Mukama, ne gusanyukira mu bulokozi bwe.
10 All my bones shall say: 'LORD, who is like unto Thee, who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?'
Amagumba gange galyogera nti, “Ani afaanana nga ggwe, Ayi Mukama? Kubanga abaavu obadduukirira n’obawonya ababasinza amaanyi, n’abali mu kwetaaga n’obawonya abanyazi.”
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I know not.
Abajulizi abakambwe bagolokoka ne bambuuza ebintu bye sirinaako kye mmanyi.
12 They repay me evil for good; bereavement is come to my soul.
Bwe mbayisa obulungi bo bampisa bubi, ne banakuwaza omwoyo gwange.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth, I afflicted my soul with fasting; and my prayer, may it return into mine own bosom.
So nga bwe baalwala nanakuwala ne nnyambala ebibukutu, ne neerumya nga nsiiba, ne nsaba Mukama nga nkotese omutwe, naye okusaba kwange bwe kutaddibwamu,
14 I went about as though it had been my friend or my brother; I bowed down mournful, as one that mourneth for his mother.
ne mbeera mu nnaku ng’ankungubagira ow’omukwano oba owooluganda nkoteka omutwe gwange mu buyinike ng’akaabira nnyina.
15 But when I halt they rejoice, and gather themselves together; the abjects gather themselves together against me, and those whom I know not; they tear me, and cease not;
Naye bwe nagwa mu kabi ne beekuŋŋaanya nga basanyuse; ne bannumba nga simanyi, ne bampayiriza obutata.
16 With the profanest mockeries of backbiting they gnash at me with their teeth.
Banduulidde n’ettima ng’abatamanyi Katonda bwe bakola, ne bannumira obujiji.
17 Lord, how long wilt Thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, mine only one from the lions.
Ayi Mukama, olituusa ddi ng’otunula butunuzi? Nziruukirira nga bannumba, obulamu bwange obuwonye okutaagulwataagulwa, obulamu bwange obw’omuwendo eri empologoma zino.
18 I will give Thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise Thee among a numerous people.
Nnaakwebalizanga mu lukuŋŋaana olukulu, ne nkutenderezanga mu kibiina ky’abantu abangi ennyo.
19 Let not them that are wrongfully mine enemies rejoice over me; neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
Tokkiriza balabe bange kunneeyagalirako, abankyawa awatali nsonga; abankyayira obwereere tobakkiriza kunziimuula.
20 For they speak not peace; but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
Teboogera bya mirembe, wabula okuwaayiriza abantu abeetuulidde emirembe mu nsi.
21 Yea, they open their mouth wide against me; they say: 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.'
Banjasamiza akamwa kaabwe ne boogera nti, “Leero luno, ky’okoze tukirabye n’amaaso gaffe.”
22 Thou hast seen, O LORD; keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.
Bino byonna obirabye, Ayi Mukama. Noolwekyo tosirika. Tonsuulirira, Ayi Mukama.
23 Rouse Thee, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
Golokoka ojje onnyambe; nnwanirira Ayi Katonda wange era Mukama wange.
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to Thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
Mu butuukirivu bwo nnejjeereza, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, tobaganya kunneeyagalirako.
25 Let them not say in their heart: 'Aha, we have our desire'; let them not say: 'We have swallowed him up.'
Tobaleka kulowooza nti, “Leero luno! Kino kye twali twagala!” Oba nti, “Tumusaanyizzaawo!”
26 Let them be ashamed and abashed together that rejoice at my hurt; let them be clothed with shame and confusion that magnify themselves against me.
Abo bonna abanneeyagalirako olw’ennaku yange ne beesanyusa, batabulwetabulwe era baswazibwe; abo bonna abanneegulumirizaako baswazibwe era banyoomebwe.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that delight in my righteousness; yea, let them say continually: 'Magnified be the LORD, who delighteth in the peace of His servant.'
Abo abasanyuka ng’annejjeereza, baleekaanire waggulu olw’essanyu n’okujaganya; era boogerenga nti, “Mukama agulumizibwe, asanyuka omuweereza we ng’atebenkedde.”
28 And my tongue shall speak of Thy righteousness, and of Thy praise all the day.
Olulimi lwange lunaayogeranga ku butuukirivu bwo, era nnaakutenderezanga olunaku lwonna.
