Psalms 72
1 Solomon’s. O God! thy justice, give, unto the king, And thy righteousness, unto the son of a king;
Zabbuli ya Sulemaani. Ayi Katonda, kabaka omuwe okuba omwenkanya, ne mutabani we omuwe obutuukirivu,
2 May he judge, Thy people with righteousness; And thine oppressed ones with justice;
alyoke alamulenga abantu bo mu butuukirivu, n’abaavu abalamulenga mu mazima.
3 May the mountains bring peace to the people, And the hills [be laden] with righteousness;
Ensozi zireeterenga abantu bo okukulaakulana n’obusozi bubaleetere obutuukirivu.
4 May he, Vindicate the oppressed of the people, Bring deliverance to the children of the needy, and, Crush the oppressor.
Anaalwaniriranga abaavu, n’atereeza abaana b’abo abeetaaga, n’omujoozi n’amusaanyaawo.
5 Let men revere thee, With the sun, And in presence of the moon, Unto the remotest generation.
Abantu bakutyenga ng’enjuba n’omwezi gye bikoma okwaka mu mirembe gyonna.
6 Let him come down, Like rain on fields to be mown, Like myriad drops on land to be reaped.
Abeere ng’enkuba bw’etonnya ku muddo ogusaliddwa, afaanane ng’oluwandaggirize olufukirira ensi.
7 May righteousness, in his days, blossom forth, And abundance of peace, till there be no moon.
Obutuukirivu bweyongere nnyo mu mulembe gwe, n’okufuga kwe kujjule emirembe okutuusa omwezi lwe gulikoma okwaka!
8 So let him have dominion, From sea to sea, And from the River ["Euphrates"] unto the ends of the earth;
Afugenga okuva ku nnyanja okutuuka ku nnyanja, n’okuva ku mugga Fulaati okutuuka ku nkomerero z’ensi!
9 Before him, let the men of the desert kneel, But, as for his foes, the dust, let them lick;
Ebika eby’omu malungu bimugonderenga, n’abalabe be bamujeemulukukire beekulukuunye ne mu nfuufu.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the Coastlands, A gift, let them render, The kings of Sheba and Seba, A present, let them bring;
Bakabaka b’e Talusiisi n’ab’oku bizinga eby’ewala bamuwenga omusolo; bakabaka b’e Syeba n’ab’e Seeba bamutonerenga ebirabo.
11 Yea let all kings, bow down unto him, Let, all nations, serve him;
Bakabaka bonna banaavuunamanga mu maaso ge; amawanga gonna ganaamuweerezanga.
12 Because he Rescueth, The needy from the rich, The oppressed, who hath no helper;
Kubanga anaawonyanga eyeetaaga bw’anaamukoowoolanga, n’omwavu ne kateeyamba ataliiko mwasirizi.
13 He Pitieth the weak and the needy, And, the lives of the needy, he Saveth:
Anaasaasiranga omunafu n’omwavu; n’awonya obulamu bwa kateeyamba.
14 From extortion, and, violence, he Redeemeth their life, And precious is their blood in his sight.
Anaabanunulanga mu mikono gy’omujoozi n’abawonya obukambwe bwe; kubanga obulamu bwabwe bwa muwendo mungi gy’ali.
15 Let him live, then! And be there given unto him of the gold of Sheba, —Let prayer also be offered for him continually, All the day, let him be blessed.
Awangaale! Aleeterwe zaabu okuva e Syeba. Abantu bamwegayiririrenga era bamusabirenga emikisa buli lunaku.
16 May there be an abundance of corn in the earth, in the top of the mountains, —Let the fruit thereof, wave like Lebanon, And they of the city bloom like the fresh shoots of the earth.
Eŋŋaano ebale nnyingi nnyo mu nsi, ebikke n’entikko z’ensozi. Ebibala byayo byale ng’eby’e Lebanooni; n’abantu baale mu bibuga ng’omuddo ogw’oku ttale.
17 May his Name be age-abiding, In the presence of the sun, let his Name flourish, —And may all the families of the ground bless themselves in him, All nations, pronounce him happy!
Erinnya lye libeerengawo ennaku zonna, n’okwatiikirira kwe kube kwa nkalakkalira ng’enjuba. Amawanga gonna ganaaweebwanga omukisa ku lu lw’erinnya lye, era abantu bonna bamuyitenga aweereddwa omukisa.
18 Blessed be Yahweh God, the God of Israel, —Who doeth wondrous things by himself alone;
Mukama Katonda agulumizibwe, Katonda wa Isirayiri, oyo yekka akola ebyewuunyisa.
19 And blessed be his glorious Name, unto times age-abiding, —And filled with his glory be all the earth, Amen and Amen!
Erinnya lye ekkulu ligulumizibwenga emirembe n’emirembe! Ensi yonna ejjule ekitiibwa kye.
20 Ended are the prayers of David, son of Jesse.
Okusaba kwa Dawudi mutabani wa Yese kukomye awo.
