Psalms 69
1 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “LILIES.” BY DAVID. Save me, O God, for waters have come to the soul.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Mu ddoboozi ery’Amalanga. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ondokole, Ayi Katonda, kubanga amazzi gandi mu bulago.
2 I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood has overflown me.
Ntubira mu bitosi nga sirina we nnywereza kigere. Ntuuse ebuziba n’amataba gansaanikira.
3 I have been wearied with my calling, My throat has been burned, My eyes have been consumed, waiting for my God.
Ndajanye ne nkoowa, n’emimiro ginkaze. Amaaso ganzizeeko ekifu gakooye olw’okutunula enkaliriza nga nnindirira Katonda wange.
4 Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I did not take away—I bring back.
Abo abankyayira obwereere bangi okusinga enviiri ez’oku mutwe gwange; abalabe bange bangi abannoonya okunzita awatali nsonga; ne mpalirizibwa mbaddizeewo ekyo kye sibbanga.
5 O God, You have known Concerning my overturn, And my desolations have not been hid from You.
Ayi Katonda, omanyi obusirusiru bwange, n’okusobya kwange tekukukwekeddwa.
6 Do not let those waiting on You be ashamed because of me, O Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Do not let those seeking You Blush because of me, O God of Israel.
Sisaana kuswaza abo abakwesiga, Ayi Mukama, Mukama ow’Eggye. Abo abakunoonya baleme kuswazibwa ku lwange, Ayi Katonda wa Isirayiri.
7 For because of You I have borne reproach, Shame has covered my face.
Ngumiikirizza okuvumwa ku lulwo, n’amaaso gange ne gajjula ensonyi.
8 I have been a stranger to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.
Nfuuse nga omugwira eri baganda bange, munnaggwanga eri abaana ba mmange.
9 For [my] zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the reproaches of Your reproachers Have fallen on me.
Nzijudde obuggya olw’ennyumba yo, n’abo abakuvuma bavuma nze.
10 And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.
Bwe nkaaba ne nsiiba, ekyo nakyo ne kinvumisa.
11 And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am for an allegory to them.
Bwe nnyambala ebibukutu ne nfuuka eky’okuzanyisa kyabwe.
12 Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.
Abo abatuula ku mulyango gw’ekibuga banduulira, era nfuuse luyimba lw’abatamiivu.
13 And my prayer [is] to You, O YHWH, A time of good pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Your kindness, Answer me in the truth of Your salvation.
Naye nze, Ayi Mukama, nsaba ggwe, mu kiseera eky’ekisa kyo. Olw’okwagala kwo okungi, onnyanukule, Ayi Katonda, ondokole nga bwe wasuubiza.
14 Deliver me from the mire, and do not let me sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of waters.
Onnyinyulule mu ttosi nneme okutubira; omponye abankyawa, onzigye mu mazzi amangi;
15 Do not let a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth on me.
amataba galeme okumbuutikira n’obuziba okunsanyaawo, n’ennyanja ereme okummira.
16 Answer me, O YHWH, for Your kindness [is] good, Turn to me according to the abundance of Your mercies,
Onnyanukule, Ayi Mukama olw’obulungi bw’okwagala kwo; onkyukire olw’okusaasira kwo okungi.
17 And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress—hurry, answer me.
Tokisa muddu wo maaso go; yanguwa okunziramu, kubanga ndi mu kabi.
18 Be near to my soul—redeem it, Ransom me because of my enemies.
Onsemberere onziruukirire, onnunule mu balabe bange.
19 You have known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, All my adversaries [are] before You.
Omanyi bwe nsekererwa, ne bwe nswazibwa ne bwe siteekebwamu kitiibwa, era n’abalabe bange bonna obamanyi.
20 Reproach has broken my heart, and I am sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found none.
Okusekererwa kunkutudde omutima era kummazeemu amaanyi. Nanoonya okusaasirwa ne kumbula, n’ow’okumpooyawooya naye nga simulaba.
21 And they give gall for my food, And cause me to drink vinegar for my thirst.
Mu kifo ky’emmere bampa mususa, era bwe nalumwa ennyonta bampa nkaatu.
22 Their table before them is for a snare, And for a repayment—for a trap.
Emmere yaabwe gye bategese okulya ebafuukire ekyambika, n’embaga zaabwe ez’ebiweebwayo zibafuukire omutego.
23 Their eyes are darkened from seeing, And their loins continually shake You.
Amaaso gaabwe gazibe baleme okulaba, n’emigongo gyabwe gyewetenga ennaku zonna.
24 Pour Your indignation on them, And the fierceness of Your anger seizes them.
Bayiweeko ekiruyi kyo, obamalewo n’obusungu obw’amaanyi go obungi.
25 Their tower is desolated, There is no dweller in their tents.
Ebifo byabwe bifuuke bifulukwa, waleme kubaawo n’omu abeera mu weema zaabwe.
26 For they have pursued him [whom] You have struck, And recount of the pain of Your pierced ones.
Kubanga bayigganya oyo gw’ofumise, ne boogera ku bulumi bw’oyo gw’olumizza.
27 Give punishment for their iniquity, And they do not enter into Your righteousness.
Bavunaane omusango kina gumu, era tobaganya kugabana ku bulokozi bwo.
28 They are blotted out of the scroll of life, And are not written with the righteous.
Bawanduukululwe mu kitabo ky’obulamu; baleme kulabika ku lukalala lw’abatuukirivu.
29 And I [am] afflicted and pained, Your salvation, O God, sets me on high.
Ndi mu bulumi era mu nnaku; obulokozi bwo, Ayi Katonda, bunkuume.
30 I praise the Name of God with a song, And I magnify Him with thanksgiving,
Nnaatenderezanga erinnya lya Katonda nga nnyimba; nnaamugulumizanga n’okwebaza.
31 And it is better to YHWH than an ox, A bullock—horned [and] hoofed.
Kino kinaasanyusanga Mukama okusinga okumuwa ente ennume, oba okumuwa seddume n’amayembe gaayo, n’ebigere byayo.
32 The humble have seen—they rejoice, You who seek God—and your heart lives.
Abaavu banaakirabanga ne basanyuka; mmwe abanoonya Katonda omutima gwammwe ne gubeera omulamu.
33 For YHWH listens to the needy, And He has not despised His bound ones.
Kubanga Mukama awulira abo abali mu kwetaaga, era ababe ne bwe baba mu busibe, tabanyooma.
34 The heavens and earth praise Him, Seas, and every moving thing in them.
Kale eggulu n’ensi bimutenderezenga awamu n’ennyanja zonna n’ebyo ebizirimu.
35 For God saves Zion, And builds the cities of Judah, And they have dwelt there, and possess it.
Kubanga Katonda alirokola Sayuuni, n’ebibuga bya Yuda n’abizimba buggya, abantu ne babibeerangamu nga byabwe.
36 And the seed of His servants inherit it, And those loving His Name dwell in it!
Abaana b’abaweereza be balikisikira; n’abo abaagala erinnya lya Mukama omwo mmwe banaabeeranga.
