Psalms 139
1 O Yhwh, thou hast searched me, and known me.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Mukama, okebedde omutima gwange, n’otegeera byonna ebiri munda yange.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
Bwe ntuula omanya, ne bwe ngolokoka omanya; era otegeera byonna bye ndowooza, ne bwe mbeera ewala ennyo.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
Otegeera okutambula kwange kwonna n’okuwummula kwange. Omanyi amakubo gange gonna.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Yhwh, thou knowest it altogether.
Ekigambo kye nnaayogera, Ayi Mukama, okimanya nga sinnaba na kukyogera.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
Ondi mu maaso n’emabega, era ontaddeko omukono gwo.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
Okumanya okw’engeri eyo kunsukkiridde, era nkwewuunya nnyo, kunnema okutegeera.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
Nnaagenda wa Omwoyo wo gy’atali? Oba nnaagenda wa ggwe gy’otoli?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. (Sheol h7585)
Bwe nnaalinya mu ggulu, nga gy’oli; bwe nnakka emagombe, nayo nga gy’oli. (Sheol h7585)
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Bwe nneebagala empewo ez’oku makya ne zintwala ne mbeera mu bitundu by’ennyanja ebisinga okuba ewala;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
era n’eyo omukono gwo gunannuŋŋamya, omukono gwo ogwa ddyo gunannywezanga.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
Bwe nnaagamba nti, “Ekizikiza kimbuutikire, n’obudde obw’emisana bwe ndimu bufuuke ekiro.”
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
Naye era ekizikiza gy’oli tekiba kizikiza, ekiro kyakaayakana ng’emisana; kubanga gy’oli ekizikiza n’omusana bifaanana.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
Ggwe watonda byonna ebiri munda mu nze; ggwe wammumbira mu lubuto lwa mmange.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
Nkutendereza, kubanga wankola mu ngeri ey’entiisa era ey’ekitalo; emirimu gyo gya kyewuunyo; era ekyo nkimanyidde ddala bulungi.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Wammanya nga ntondebwa, bwe nakolerwa mu kyama; bwe natondebwa mu buziba bw’ensi n’amagezi go amangi.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
Wandaba nga si natondebwa. Ennaku zange zonna ze wanteekerateekera zawandiikibwa mu kitabo kyo.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
By’ondowooleza nga bya muwendo munene, Ayi Katonda! Omuwendo gwabyo munene!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
Singa ngezaako okubibala bisinga omusenyu obungi. Ne bwe ngolokoka mu makya oba okyandowoozaako.
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
Abakola ebibi batte, Ayi Katonda; abasajja abassi b’abantu banveeko.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
Abantu abo bakwogerako bibi; bakwegulumiririzaako mu butategeera bwabwe.
21 Do not I hate them, O Yhwh, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
Abakukyawa, Ayi Mukama, nange mbakyawa; abo abakwegulumiririzaako bansunguwaza.
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
Mbakyayira ddala nnyo, era mbayita balabe bange.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
Nkebera, Ayi Katonda, otegeere omutima gwange. Ngezesa omanye ebirowoozo byange.
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Olabe obanga mu nze mulimu engeri yonna enkyamu; era onkulembere mu kkubo erintuusa mu bulamu obutaggwaawo.
