Psalms 71
1 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be made ashamed.
Mu ggwe, Ayi Mukama, mwe neekweka, tondeka kuswazibwa.
2 In thy righteousness do thou deliver me and release me: incline thy ear unto me, and save me.
Mu butuukirivu bwo ondokole, omponye; ontegere okutu ondokole.
3 Be thou unto me a rocky habitation, whereunto I may continually resort, which thou hast ordained to save me; for my rock and my strong-hold art thou.
Onfuukire olwazi obuddukiro bwange, ekifo eky’amaanyi; ondokole kubanga oli lwazi lwange era ekiddukiro kyange.
4 O my God, release me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the unrighteous and violent man.
Ayi Katonda wange omponye mu mukono gw’ababi, omponye abantu abatali batuukirivu era abakambwe.
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord Eternal: thou art my trust from my youth.
Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, ggwe ssuubi lyange; ggwe, ggwe neesiga, okuviira ddala mu buvubuka bwange.
6 By thee have I been supported from my birth: thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb: of thee is my praise continually.
Neesiga ggwe kasookedde nzalibwa; ggwe wanziggya mu lubuto lwa mmange. Nnaakutenderezanga ennaku zonna.
7 As a wonderful token have I been 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 my enemies speak of 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 seize 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, hasten to my help.
Ayi Katonda, tombera wala, Ayi Katonda wange, yanguwa ojje ombeere.
13 Let those be made ashamed, let them perish, that are adversaries to my soul: let those be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my unhappiness.
Abo abampawaabira bazikirizibwe nga bajjudde ensonyi, abanoonya okunnumya baswale era banyoomebwe.
14 But I will continually hope, and will add yet more to all thy praise.
Naye nze nnaabanga n’essuubi ennaku zonna. Era nneeyongeranga okukutenderezanga.
15 My mouth shall relate thy righteousness, all the day thy salvation; for I know not their numbers.
Akamwa kange kanaayogeranga ku bikolwa byo eby’obutuukirivu obudde okuziba; nnaayogeranga ku bulokozi bwo, wadde siyinza kubupima.
16 I will come to praise the mighty deeds of the Lord Eternal: I will make mention of thy righteousness, yea, 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 hitherto I ever tell of thy wondrous deeds.
Ayi Katonda, ggwe wanjigiriza okuva mu buvubuka bwange; n’okutuusa leero nkyatenda ebikolwa byo eby’ekitalo.
18 Therefore also even in old age, and when I am grayheaded, O God, forsake me not: until I have told of thy strength unto [this] generation, to every one that may come of thy might.
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 And thy righteousness, O God, reacheth even to the height, thou, who hast done great things: O God, who is like thee!
N’obutuukirivu bwo, Ayi Katonda, butuuka mu ggulu. Ggw’okoze ebikulu, Ayi Katonda, ani akwenkana?
20 Thou, who hast shown me great distresses and misfortunes, wilt again revive me; and from the depths of the earth wilt thou bring me up again.
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 wilt turn round and comfort me.
Olinnyongerako ekitiibwa n’oddamu okunsanyusa.
22 Also I, I will thank thee with the psaltery, [for] thy truth, O my God: I will sing 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 shout joyfully when I sing unto thee; and my soul [too], which thou hast redeemed.
Nnaayimusanga eddoboozi lyange olw’essanyu nga nkutendereza, nze gw’onunudde!
24 Also my tongue shall speak all the day of thy righteousness; for ashamed, for put to the blush are those that seek my unhappiness.
Olulimi lwange nalwo lunaayogeranga ku bikolwa byo eby’obutuukirivu obudde okuziba, kubanga abo ababadde baagala okunkola akabi otabuddetabudde enkwe zaabwe ne baswazibwa.
