< Psalms 41 >
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] Blessed is he who considers the poor and needy. Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Alina omukisa asaasira omunaku; Mukama amulokola ku lunaku olw’akabi.
2 Jehovah will protect him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.
Mukama anaamukuumanga anaawonyanga obulamu bwe, era anaamuwanga omukisa mu nsi; n’atamuwaayo eri okwegomba kw’abalabe be.
3 Jehovah will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.
Mukama anaamujjanjabanga nga mulwadde; n’amuwonya mu bulumi.
4 I said, "Jehovah, have mercy on me. Heal me, for I have sinned against you."
Nayogera nti, “Ayi Mukama onsaasire omponye; kubanga nnyonoonye mu maaso go.”
5 My enemies speak evil against me: "When will he die, and his name perish?"
Abalabe bange boogeza obukyayi nti, “Alifa ddi n’okwerabirwa ne yeerabirwa?”
6 If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.
Bwe bajja okundaba beefuula mikwano gyange; naye munda yaabwe bankyawa era basanyuka okulaba nga ngalamidde awo nnumwa. Bwe bansiibula bagenda beesekera nga bwe baduula.
7 All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.
Abalabe bange bonna abo bateesa mu kaama; nga banjogerako ebitali birungi.
8 "A wicked thing is poured out on him; and he who lies down will not rise again."
Boogera nti, “Endwadde emukutte mbi nnyo, emukubye wansi tayinza kuwona.”
9 Even my own close friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
Era ne mukwano gwange gwe neesiganga bwe twalyanga, anneefuukidde.
10 But you, Jehovah, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.
Naye ggwe, Ayi Mukama, onsaasire, onzizeemu amaanyi ndyoke nneesasuze.
11 By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn't triumph over me.
Mmanyi ng’onsanyukira, kubanga omulabe wange tampangudde.
12 As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.
Onnywezezza mu bwesimbu bwange, ne mbeera mu maaso go ennaku zonna.
13 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen and amen.
Atenderezebwenga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, oyo eyabaawo okuva edda n’edda lyonna n’okutuusa emirembe gyonna.
