< Psalms 48 >

1 A Melodious Song. For the Sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain.
Oluyimba. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Mukama mukulu, asaanira okutenderezebwa ennyo mu kibuga kya Katonda waffe, ku lusozi lwe olutukuvu.
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of all the land, Is Mount Zion, in the recesses of the north, —The city of a great king.
Sayuuni lwe lusozi lwe olulungi olugulumivu, olusanyusa ensi yonna. Ku ntikko Zafoni kwe kuli ekibuga kya Kabaka Omukulu;
3 God, in her palaces, is to be known as a high tower.
Katonda mw’abeera; yeeraze okuba ekigo kye.
4 For lo! Kings—Met as appointed, Passed by together;
Kale laba, bakabaka b’ensi baakuŋŋaana ne bakyolekera bakirumbe;
5 They themselves, saw, So, were they amazed, Dismayed—they hurried way!
bwe baakituukako ne bakyewuunya, ne batya nnyo ne badduka;
6 Trembling, seized them, there, Pangs. like hers who is in travail.
nga bakankana, ne bajjula obulumi ng’omukazi alumwa okuzaala.
7 With an east wind, wilt thou shatter the ships of Tarshish.
Wabazikiriza ng’omuyaga ogw’ebuvanjuba bwe guzikiriza ebyombo by’e Talusiisi.
8 Just as we have heard, So, have we seen, In the city of Yahweh of hosts, In the city of our God, God himself, will establish her, unto times age-abiding. (Selah)
Ebyo bye twawuliranga obuwulizi, kaakano tubirabye mu kibuga kya Mukama ow’Eggye, mu kibuga kya Katonda waffe, kyalinywereza ddala emirembe gyonna.
9 We have thought, O God, upon thy lovingkindness, In the midst of thy temple:
Ayi Katonda, tufumiitiriza ku kwagala kwo okutaggwaawo nga tuli mu Yeekaalu yo.
10 According to thy Name, O God, So, be thy praise, unto the ends of the earth, With righteousness, is, thy right hand, filled.
Erinnya lyo nga bwe liri ekkulu, Ayi Katonda, bw’otyo bw’otenderezebwa mu nsi yonna. Omukono gwo ogwa ddyo gujjudde obuwanguzi.
11 Let Mount Zion rejoice, Let the daughters of Judah exult, Because of thy judgments.
Sanyuka gwe Sayuuni, musanyuke mmwe ebibuga bya Yuda; kubanga Katonda alamula bya nsonga.
12 Go round Zion, and compass her about, Reckon up her towers;
Mutambule mu Sayuuni, mukibune; mubale n’ebigo byakyo.
13 Apply your mind to her rampart, Pass between her palaces, That ye may recount them to an after generation;
Mwekalirize nnyo munda wa bbugwe waakyo n’olusiisira lw’amaggye lwamu lwonna; mulyoke mutegeeze ab’emirembe egiriddawo.
14 For, this God, is our God, to times age-abiding and beyond, He himself, will conduct us till death.
Kubanga Katonda ono, ye Katonda waffe emirembe gyonna; y’anaatuluŋŋamyanga ennaku zonna okutuusa okufa.
