Psalms 27
1 “Of David.” The Lord is my light and my salvation; of whom shall I be afraid? the Lord is the fortress of my life; of whom shall I have dread?
Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Mukama gwe musana gwange n’obulokozi bwange; ani gwe nnaatyanga? Mukama ge maanyi ag’obulamu bwange; ani asobola okuntiisa?
2 When evil-doers come near against me to eat up my flesh, my assailants and my enemies at me: then do they stumble and fall.
Abalabe bange n’abantu ababi bonna bwe banannumba nga baagala okunzita, baneesittala ne bagwa.
3 If an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: if war should arise against me, even then will I have trust.
Newaakubadde ng’eggye linaasiisira okunneebungulula, omutima gwange teguutyenga; olutalo ne bwe lunansitukirangako, nnaabanga mugumu.
4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that I will seek for: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the loveliness of the Lord, and to be every morning early in his temple.
Ekintu kimu kye nsaba Mukama, era ekyo kye nnoonya: okubeeranga mu nnyumba ya Mukama ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwange, ne ndabanga obulungi bwa Mukama, era ne nsinzizanga mu Yeekaalu ye.
5 For he will hide me in his pavilion on the day of evil; he will conceal me in the secret of his tabernacle; upon a rock will he place me high.
Kubanga mu biseera eby’obuzibu anansuzanga mu nju ye; anankwekanga mu weema ye, n’ankuumira ku lwazi olugulumivu.
6 And now will my head be lifted up above my enemies all round about me; and I will sacrifice in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy: I will sing, and I will triumphantly play unto the Lord.
Olwo ononnyimusanga waggulu w’abalabe bange abanneetoolodde. Nnaaweerangayo ssaddaaka mu weema ye nga bwe ntendereza n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka olw’essanyu; nnaayimbiranga Mukama ennyimba ez’okumutenderezanga.
7 Hear, O Lord, my voice, [when] I call, and be gracious unto me, and answer me.
Wulira eddoboozi lyange, Ayi Mukama, nga nkukoowoola; onkwatirwe ekisa onnyanukule!
8 Of thee, said my heart, “Seek ye my presence”: thy presence, Lord, will I seek.
Omutima gwange guwulidde eddoboozi lyo nga lyogera nti, “Munnoonye, munsinze.” Omutima gwange ne guddamu nti, “Nnaakunoonyanga, Ayi Mukama.”
9 Hide [then] not thy face from me; reject not in anger thy servant, thou [who] hast been my help: cast me not off, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Tonneekweka, so tonyiigira muweereza wo, kubanga ggw’obadde omubeezi wange bulijjo. Tonneggyaako, so tonsuula, Ayi Katonda, Omulokozi wange.
10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me; but the Lord will take me up.
Kitange ne mmange bwe balindeka, Mukama anandabiriranga.
11 Point me out thy way, O Lord! and guide me on a level path, because of those that regard me enviously.
Njigiriza, Ayi Mukama, by’oyagala nkole, era onkulembere mu kkubo lyo, kubanga abalabe bange banneetoolodde.
12 Give me not up to the [revengeful] desire of my assailants; for there are risen up against me false witnesses, and such as utter violence.
Tompaayo mu balabe bange, kubanga abajulizi ab’obulimba bansitukiddeko n’enkwe zaabwe, okunkambuwalira.
13 Unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of life—
Nkyakakasiza ddala nga ndiraba obulungi bwa Mukama mu nsi ey’abalamu.
14 Wait on the Lord; be strong, and let thy heart be of good courage; and only wait on the Lord.
Lindirira Mukama. Ddamu amaanyi, ogume omwoyo. Weewaawo, lindirira Mukama.
