Psalms 139
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, 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 LORD, 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 LORD, 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.
