Psalms 64
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. Hear, O God, my voice when I complain, From dread peril by the foe, wilt thou guard my life.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Katonda, owulire eddoboozi lyange, ery’okwemulugunya kwange; okuume obulamu bwange eri okutiisibwatiisibwa omulabe.
2 Wilt thou hide me, From the conclave of evil-doers, From the crowd of workers of iniquity.
Onkweke mpone enkwe z’abakola ebibi, onzigye mu kibinja ky’aboonoonyi, abaleekaana
3 Who have sharpened, like a sword, their tongue, Have made ready their arrow—a bitter word;
abawagala ennimi zaabwe ng’ebitala, ne balasa ebigambo byabwe ng’obusaale obutta.
4 To shoot, in secret places, at the blameless one, Suddenly they shoot at him, and fear not.
Beekweka ne bateega oyo atalina musango bamulase; amangwago ne bamulasa nga tebatya.
5 They strengthen for them a wicked word, They talk of hiding snares, They have said, Who can see them?
Bawagiragana mu kigendererwa kyabwe ekibi ne bateesa okutega emitego mu kyama; ne boogera nti, “Ani asobola okutulaba?”
6 They devise perverse things, They have completed the device well devised, Both the intent of each one, and the mind, are unsearchable.
Beekobaana okukola ebitali bya bwenkanya, ne boogera nti, “Tukoze enteekateeka empitirivu.” Ddala ddala ebirowoozo by’omuntu n’omutima gwe byekusifu.
7 Once let God have shot at them an arrow, Suddenly have appeared their own wounds!
Naye Katonda alibalasa n’obusaale bwe; alibafumita, mangwago ne bagwa ku ttaka.
8 When they were to have ruined another, their tongue smote themselves, All who observe them take flight.
Ebyo bye boogera biribaddira, ne bibazikiriza, ababalaba ne babanyeenyeza emitwe.
9 Therefore have all men feared, —And have told the doing of God, And, his work, have considered.
Olwo abantu bonna ne batya, ne bategeeza abalala omulimu gwa Katonda, ne bafumiitiriza ku ebyo by’akoze.
10 The righteous man shall rejoice in Yahweh, and seek refuge in him, Then shall glory—all who are upright in heart.
Omutuukirivu ajagulizenga mu Mukama, era yeekwekenga mu ye. Abo bonna abalina omutima omulongoofu bamutenderezenga!
