Psalms 71
1 In Thee, O LORD, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed.
Mu ggwe, Ayi Mukama, mwe neekweka, tondeka kuswazibwa.
2 Deliver me in Thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline Thine ear unto me, and save me.
Mu butuukirivu bwo ondokole, omponye; ontegere okutu ondokole.
3 Be Thou to me a sheltering rock, whereunto I may continually resort, which Thou hast appointed to save me; for Thou art my rock and my fortress.
Onfuukire olwazi obuddukiro bwange, ekifo eky’amaanyi; ondokole kubanga oli lwazi lwange era ekiddukiro kyange.
4 O my God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man.
Ayi Katonda wange omponye mu mukono gw’ababi, omponye abantu abatali batuukirivu era abakambwe.
5 For Thou art my hope; O Lord GOD, my trust from my youth.
Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, ggwe ssuubi lyange; ggwe, ggwe neesiga, okuviira ddala mu buvubuka bwange.
6 Upon Thee have I stayed myself from birth; Thou art He that took me out of my mother's womb; my praise is continually of Thee.
Neesiga ggwe kasookedde nzalibwa; ggwe wanziggya mu lubuto lwa mmange. Nnaakutenderezanga ennaku zonna.
7 I am as a wonder unto many; but Thou art my strong refuge.
Eri abangi nafuuka; naye ggwe kiddukiro kyange eky’amaanyi.
8 My mouth shall be filled with Thy praise, and with Thy glory all the day.
Akamwa kange kajjudde ettendo lyo, nga ntenda ekitiibwa kyo obudde okuziba.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; when my strength faileth, forsake me not.
Tonsuula mu kiseera kyange eky’obukadde. Tondekerera ng’amaanyi gampweddemu.
10 For mine enemies speak concerning me, and they that watch for my soul take counsel together,
Kubanga abalabe bange banjogerako; abo abaagala okunzita bansalira olukwe.
11 Saying: 'God hath forsaken him; pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.'
Bagamba nti, “Katonda amulese, ka tumugobe tumukwate, kubanga taliiko anaamuwonya.”
12 O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.
Ayi Katonda, tombera wala, Ayi Katonda wange, yanguwa ojje ombeere.
13 Let them be ashamed and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and confusion that seek my hurt.
Abo abampawaabira bazikirizibwe nga bajjudde ensonyi, abanoonya okunnumya baswale era banyoomebwe.
14 But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise Thee yet more and more.
Naye nze nnaabanga n’essuubi ennaku zonna. Era nneeyongeranga okukutenderezanga.
15 My mouth shall tell of Thy righteousness, and of Thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
Akamwa kange kanaayogeranga ku bikolwa byo eby’obutuukirivu obudde okuziba; nnaayogeranga ku bulokozi bwo, wadde siyinza kubupima.
16 I will come with Thy mighty acts, O Lord GOD; I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only.
Nnaatambuliranga mu maanyi go, Ayi Mukama Katonda, era ne ntegeezanga nti ggwe wekka ggwe mutuukirivu.
17 O God, Thou hast taught me from my youth; and until now do I declare Thy wondrous works.
Ayi Katonda, ggwe wanjigiriza okuva mu buvubuka bwange; n’okutuusa leero nkyatenda ebikolwa byo eby’ekitalo.
18 And even unto old age and hoary hairs, O God, forsake me not; until I have declared Thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.
Ne bwe ndiba nga nkaddiye nga mmeze n’envi, tonjabuliranga, Ayi Katonda, okutuusiza ddala nga mmaze okutendera abo abaliddawo amaanyi go amangi, n’okumanyisa emirembe egigenda okujja obuyinza bwo.
19 Thy righteousness also, O God, which reacheth unto high heaven; Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto Thee?
N’obutuukirivu bwo, Ayi Katonda, butuuka mu ggulu. Ggw’okoze ebikulu, Ayi Katonda, ani akwenkana?
20 Thou, who hast made me to see many and sore troubles, wilt quicken me again, and bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
Newaakubadde wandeka ne mbonaabona nnyo bwe ntyo, ggw’olinzizaamu obulamu, n’ompa amaanyi amaggya, n’onnyimusa okuva mu kinnya ekiwanvu ennyo wansi w’ensi.
21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, and turn and comfort me.
Olinnyongerako ekitiibwa n’oddamu okunsanyusa.
22 I also will give thanks unto Thee with the psaltery, even unto Thy truth, O my God; I will sing praises unto Thee with the harp, O Thou Holy One of Israel.
Nnaakutenderezanga ne nnanga ey’enkoba olw’obwesigwa bwo, Ayi Katonda wange; nnaakutenderezanga n’entongooli, Ayi ggwe Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing praises unto Thee; and my soul, which Thou hast redeemed.
Nnaayimusanga eddoboozi lyange olw’essanyu nga nkutendereza, nze gw’onunudde!
24 My tongue also shall tell of Thy righteousness all the day; for they are ashamed, for they are abashed, that seek my hurt.
Olulimi lwange nalwo lunaayogeranga ku bikolwa byo eby’obutuukirivu obudde okuziba, kubanga abo ababadde baagala okunkola akabi otabuddetabudde enkwe zaabwe ne baswazibwa.
