Psalms 64
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Katonda, owulire eddoboozi lyange, ery’okwemulugunya kwange; okuume obulamu bwange eri okutiisibwatiisibwa omulabe.
2 Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;
Onkweke mpone enkwe z’abakola ebibi, onzigye mu kibinja ky’aboonoonyi, abaleekaana
3 Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;
abawagala ennimi zaabwe ng’ebitala, ne balasa ebigambo byabwe ng’obusaale obutta.
4 That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
Beekweka ne bateega oyo atalina musango bamulase; amangwago ne bamulasa nga tebatya.
5 They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.
Bawagiragana mu kigendererwa kyabwe ekibi ne bateesa okutega emitego mu kyama; ne boogera nti, “Ani asobola okutulaba?”
6 They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.
Beekobaana okukola ebitali bya bwenkanya, ne boogera nti, “Tukoze enteekateeka empitirivu.” Ddala ddala ebirowoozo by’omuntu n’omutima gwe byekusifu.
7 But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.
Naye Katonda alibalasa n’obusaale bwe; alibafumita, mangwago ne bagwa ku ttaka.
8 So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.
Ebyo bye boogera biribaddira, ne bibazikiriza, ababalaba ne babanyeenyeza emitwe.
9 And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.
Olwo abantu bonna ne batya, ne bategeeza abalala omulimu gwa Katonda, ne bafumiitiriza ku ebyo by’akoze.
10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
Omutuukirivu ajagulizenga mu Mukama, era yeekwekenga mu ye. Abo bonna abalina omutima omulongoofu bamutenderezenga!
