Psalms 68
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm [or] Song of David. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Oluyimba lwa Dawudi. Katonda agolokoke, abalabe be basaasaane, n’abo abamukyawa bamudduke.
2 As smoke is driven away, [so] drive [them] away: as wax melteth before the fire, [so] let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
Ng’empewo bw’efuumuula omukka, naawe bafuumuule bw’otyo; envumbo nga bw’esaanuuka mu muliro, n’abakola ebibi bazikirire bwe batyo mu maaso ga Katonda!
3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
Naye abatuukirivu basanyuke bajagulize mu maaso ga Katonda, nga bajjudde essanyu.
4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him.
Muyimbire Katonda, muyimbe nga mutendereza erinnya lye; mumuyimusize amaloboozi gammwe oyo atambulira mu bire. Erinnya lye ye Mukama, mujagulize mu maaso ge.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, [is] God in his holy habitation.
Ye Kitaawe w’abataliiko bakitaabwe, ye mukuumi wa bannamwandu; ye Katonda abeera mu kifo kye ekitukuvu.
6 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry [land].
Katonda afunira abatalina we babeera ekifo eky’okubeeramu, aggya abasibe mu kkomera n’abagaggawaza; naye abajeemu babeera mu bifo bikalu ddala.
7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; (Selah)
Ayi Katonda, bwe wakulembera abantu bo, n’obayisa mu ddungu,
8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: [even] Sinai itself [was moved] at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
ensi yakankana, eggulu ne lifukumula enkuba mu maaso ga Katonda; n’olusozi Sinaayi ne lukankana awali Katonda, Katonda wa Isirayiri!
9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
Watonnyesa enkuba nnyingi ku nsi, Ayi Katonda; ensi y’obusika bwo n’ogizzaamu obugimu bwe bwali nga buggweerera;
10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
abantu bo ne babeera omwo; era olw’ekisa kyo ekingi, Ayi Katonda, abaavu ne bafuna bye beetaaga okuva ku bugagga bwo.
11 The Lord gave the word: great [was] the company of those that published [it].
Mukama yalangirira; ne babunyisa ekigambo kye; baali bangi ne boogera nti:
12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
“Bakabaka badduse n’amaggye gaabwe; abantu ne bagabana omunyago.
13 Though ye have lien among the pots, [yet shall ye be as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
Balabe bwe banyirira n’obugagga bwa ffeeza ne zaabu! Babikkiddwa ng’ejjuba bwe libikkibwa ebiwaawaatiro byalyo.”
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white] as snow in Salmon.
Ayinzabyonna yasaasaanya bakabaka, ne baba ng’omuzira bwe gugwa ku Zalumoni.
15 The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan; an high hill [as] the hill of Bashan.
Ggwe olusozi olw’ekitiibwa, olusozi lwa Basani; ggwe olusozi olw’emitwe emingi, olusozi lwa Basani!
16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? [this is] the hill [which] God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell [in it] for ever.
Lwaki otunuza obuggya ggwe olusozi olw’emitwe emingi? Lwaki okwatirwa obuggya olusozi Katonda lwe yalonda okufugirako? Ddala okwo Mukama kw’anaabeeranga ennaku zonna.
17 The chariots of God [are] twenty thousand, [even] thousands of angels: the Lord [is] among them, [as in] Sinai, in the holy [place].
Mukama ava ku lusozi Sinaayi nga yeetooloddwa amagaali enkumi n’enkumi n’ajja mu kifo kye ekitukuvu.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, [for] the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell [among them].
Bwe walinnyalinnya olusozi, ng’abanyage bakugoberera; abantu ne bakuwa ebirabo nga ne bakyewaggula mwebali; bw’atyo Mukama Katonda n’abeeranga wamu nabo.
19 Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with benefits, even] the God of our salvation. (Selah)
Atenderezebwe Mukama, Katonda omulokozi waffe, eyeetikka emigugu gyaffe egya buli lunaku.
20 [He that is] our God [is] the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord [belong] the issues from death.
Katonda waffe ye Katonda alokola; era tuddukira eri Mukama Katonda okuwona okufa.
21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, [and] the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
Ddala, Katonda alibetenta emitwe gy’abalabe be, kubanga ne mu bukadde bwabwe balemera mu bibi byabwe.
22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [my people] again from the depths of the sea:
Mukama agamba nti, “Ndibakomyawo nga mbaggya mu Basani, ndibazza nga mbaggya mu buziba bw’ennyanja,
23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of [thine] enemies, [and] the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
mulyoke munaabe ebigere byammwe mu musaayi gw’abalabe bammwe, n’embwa zammwe zeefunire ebyokulya.”
24 They have seen thy goings, O God; [even] the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
Ekibiina kyo ky’okulembedde bakirabye, Ayi Katonda, balabye abali ne Katonda wange, era Kabaka wange, ng’otambula okugenda mu watukuvu;
25 The singers went before, the players on instruments [followed] after; among [them were] the damsels playing with timbrels.
abayimbi nga bakulembedde, ab’ebivuga nga bavaako emabega ne wakati waabwe nga waliwo abawala abakuba ebitaasa.
26 Bless ye God in the congregations, [even] the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
Mutendereze Katonda mu kibiina ekinene; mumutendereze Mukama, mmwe abakuŋŋaanye abangi Abayisirayiri.
27 There [is] little Benjamin [with] their ruler, the princes of Judah [and] their council, the princes of Zebulun, [and] the princes of Naphtali.
Waliwo ekika kya Benyamini asinga obuto kye kikulembedde, ne kuddako ekibinja ekinene eky’abalangira ba Yuda, n’abalangira ba Zebbulooni n’abalangira ba Nafutaali.
28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
Laga obuyinza bwo, Ayi Katonda, otulage amaanyi go, Ayi Katonda onyweze ebyo by’otukoledde.
29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
Bakabaka balikuleetera ebirabo olwa Yeekaalu yo eri mu Yerusaalemi.
30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, [till every one] submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people [that] delight in war.
Nenya ensolo enkambwe ey’omu bisaalu, eggana lya ziseddume eriri mu nnyana z’amawanga. Gikkakkanye ereete omusolo ogwa ffeeza. Osaasaanye amawanga agasanyukira entalo.
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
Ababaka baliva e Misiri, ne Kuusi aligondera Katonda.
32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; (Selah)
Muyimbire Katonda mmwe obwakabaka obw’ensi zonna. Mutendereze Mukama.
33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, [which were] of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, [and that] a mighty voice.
Oyo eyeebagala eggulu erya waggulu ery’edda, eddoboozi lye ery’amaanyi liwuluguma okuva mu ggulu.
34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency [is] over Israel, and his strength [is] in the clouds.
Mulangirire obuyinza bwa Katonda, ekitiibwa kye kibuutikidde Isirayiri; obuyinza bwe buli mu bire.
35 O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel [is] he that giveth strength and power unto [his] people. Blessed [be] God.
Oli wa ntiisa, Ayi Katonda, mu kifo kyo ekitukuvu. Katonda wa Isirayiri, yawa abantu obuyinza n’amaanyi. Katonda atenderezebwe.
