Psalms 89
1 An Instructive Psalm, by Ethan the Ezrahite. The lovingkindnesses of Yahweh, age-abidingly will I sing, To generation after generation, will I make known thy faithfulness with my mouth.
Endagaano ya Katonda ne Dawudi. Nnaayimbanga ku kwagala kwo okungi, Ayi Mukama, emirembe gyonna. Nnaatenderezanga obwesigwa bwo n’akamwa kange, bumanyibwe ab’emirembe gyonna.
2 For I said, To times age-abiding, shall lovingkindness be built up, As for the heavens, thou wilt establish thy faithfulness therein.
Ddala ddala nnaategeezanga nti okwagala kwo tekuggwaawo ennaku zonna; n’obwesigwa bwo bunywevu ng’eggulu.
3 I have solemnised a covenant, for my chosen one, I have sworn unto David my servant:
Nakola endagaano n’omulonde wange; nalayirira omuweereza wange Dawudi nti,
4 Unto times age-abiding, will I establish thy seed, And will build up, unto generation after generation, thy throne. (Selah)
“Ezadde lyo nnaalinywezanga ennaku zonna, era entebe yo ey’obwakabaka nnaaginywezanga emirembe gyonna.”
5 So shall the heavens praise thy wondrousness, O Yahweh, —Yea, thy faithfulness, in the convocation of holy ones.
Eggulu linaatenderezanga ebyamagero byo n’obwesigwa bwo, Ayi Mukama, mu kibiina ky’abatukuvu bo.
6 For whom, in the skies, can one compare unto Yahweh? [Or] can one liken unto Yahweh, among the sons of the mighty?
Kale, mu ggulu waggulu, ani ageraageranyizika ne Mukama? Ani afaanana nga Mukama, mu abo ababeera mu ggulu?
7 A GOD inspiring awe in the circle of the holy ones, exceedingly, And to be reverenced above all who are round about him.
Katonda atiibwa nnyo mu lukiiko olw’abatukuvu; era wa ntiisa okusinga bonna abamwetooloola.
8 O Yahweh, God of hosts! Who, like thee, is mighty, O Yah! With thy faithfulness round about thee:
Ayi Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, ani akufaanana? Oli wa buyinza, Ayi Mukama, ojjudde obwesigwa.
9 Thou, rulest over the swelling of the sea, When the rolling waves thereof lift themselves, Thou, dost bid them be still:
Ggwe ofuga amalala g’ennyanja; amayengo gaayo bwe geekuluumulula ogakkakkanya.
10 Thou, hast crushed—as one slain—Rahab, With thy strong arm, hast thou scattered thy foes.
Lakabu wamubetentera ddala; abalabe bo n’obasaasaanya n’omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi.
11 Thine, are the heavens, Yea, thine, the earth, The world and the fulness thereof, Thou, didst found them;
Eggulu liryo, n’ensi yiyo; ensi yonna gwe wagitonda ne byonna ebigirimu.
12 The north and the south, Thou, didst create them, —Tabor and Hermon, with thy Name, shall shout for joy:
Watonda obukiikakkono n’obukiikaddyo; ensozi Taboli ne Kerumooni zitendereza erinnya lyo.
13 Thine is an arm with might, Strong is thy hand, High is thy right hand;
Oli wa buyinza bungi nnyo; omukono gwo gwa maanyi, omukono gwo ogwa ddyo gunaagulumizibwanga.
14 Righteousness and justice, are the establishing of thy throne, Lovingkindness and faithfulness, go before thy face.
Obutuukirivu n’obwenkanya gwe musingi gw’obwakabaka bwo. Okwagala n’obwesigwa bye binaakukulemberanga.
15 How happy are the people who know the joyful sound! O Yahweh! in the light of thy countenance, shall they firmly march along;
Balina omukisa abantu abamanyi okukutendereza Mukama n’amaloboozi ag’essanyu; Ayi Mukama, banaatambuliranga mu ssanyu lyo.
16 In thy Name, shall they exult all the day, And, in thy righteousness, shall they be exalted.
Banaasanyukiranga mu linnya lyo okuzibya obudde, n’obutuukirivu bwo banaabugulumizanga.
17 For, the beauty of their strength, thou art, And, in thine acceptance, shall our horns be exalted.
Kubanga gw’obawa amaanyi ne bafuna ekitiibwa. Olw’okwagala kwo otutuusa ku buwanguzi olw’ekisa kyo.
18 For, to Yahweh, belongeth our Shield, And, to the Holy One of Israel, belongeth our King.
Ddala ddala, Mukama ye ngabo yaffe, Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri kabaka waffe.
19 Then spakest thou in vision of thy men of lovingkindness, and saidst—I have laid help upon a mighty one, I have exalted one chosen from among the people;
Mu biro biri eby’edda wayogera n’omuweereza wo omwesigwa mu kwolesebwa nti, Ngulumizizza omuzira ow’amaanyi; ngulumizizza omuvubuka okuva mu bantu abaabulijjo.
20 I have found David my servant, With mine own holy oil, have I anointed him;
Nalaba Dawudi, omuweereza wange; ne mufukako amafuta gange amatukuvu okuba kabaka.
21 With whom my hand shall be firm, Yea, mine arm, shall strengthen him;
Nnaamukulemberanga, n’omukono gwange gunaamunywezanga.
22 No foe shall make exactions on him, Nor shall, a son of perversity, humiliate him;
Tewaliba mulabe we alimuwangula, so n’aboonoonyi tebaamunyigirizenga.
23 And I will shatter, from before him, his adversaries, And, them who hate him, will I smite;
Abalabe be n’abamukyawa ndibamerengula, n’amaggye agamulwanyisa ndigabetenta.
24 And, my faithfulness and my lovingkindness, shall be with him, And, in my Name, exalted shall be his horn;
Obwesigwa bwange n’okwagala kwange kunaabanga naye, ne mu linnya lyange aneeyongeranga okuba ow’amaanyi.
25 And I will set, in the sea, his hand, And, in the rivers, his right hand;
Alifuga okuva ku migga okutuuka ku nnyanja ennene.
26 He, shall cry out unto me, My Father, thou art, My GOD, and my Rock of Salvation!
Anankowoolanga ng’agamba nti, Ggwe Kitange era Katonda wange, ggwe Lwazi olw’Obulokozi bwange.
27 Yea, I, will appoint him, firstborn, Most High to the kings of the earth!
Ndimufuula omwana wange omubereberye, era kabaka asinga okugulumizibwa mu bakabaka bonna ab’ensi.
28 Age-abidingly, will I keep for him my lovingkindness, And, my covenant, hath been made steadfast for him;
Okwagala kwange kunaabeeranga naye ennaku zonna; n’endagaano gye nkoze naye teeremenga kutuukirira.
29 Therefore will I appoint, to futurity, his seed, And his throne as the days of the heavens.
Ezzadde lye teririggwaawo emirembe gyonna, n’obwakabaka bunaavanga mu kika kye ennaku zonna.
30 If his sons forsake my law, And, in my regulations, do not walk;
Abaana be bwe banaanyoomanga amateeka gange, ne batagoberera biragiro byange;
31 If, my statutes, they profane, And, my commandments, do not keep:
bwe banaamenyanga ebiragiro byange, ne batagondera mateeka gange,
32 Then will I punish, with a rod, their transgression; And, with stripes, their iniquity:
ndibabonereza n’omuggo olw’ebibi byabwe, ne mbakuba emiggo olw’ebyonoono byabwe.
33 But, my lovingkindness, will I not frustrate from them, Neither will I falsify my faithfulness;
Naye ssirirekayo kumwagala, wadde okumenyawo obwesigwa bwange gy’ali.
34 I will not violate my covenant, And that which hath proceeded out of my lips, will I not alter:
Sigenda kulemwa kutuukiriza ndagaano yange, wadde okukyusa ku ebyo akamwa kange bye koogedde.
35 One thing, have I sworn by my holiness, Verily, to David, will I not lie;
Nalayira omulundi gumu, ng’obutuukirivu bwange bwe buli, nti, “Dawudi sigenda kumulimba.”
36 His seed, age-abidingly, shall remain, And, his throne, be like the sun before me;
Ezzadde lye teririggwaawo emirembe gyonna; n’entebe ye ey’obwakabaka enaabeerangawo emirembe gyonna okufaanana ng’enjuba.
37 Like the moon, shall it be established unto times age-abiding, And, a witness, in the skies, hath been made sure. (Selah)
Entebe ye ey’obwakabaka erinywezebwa emirembe n’emirembe, ng’omwezi ku ggulu era nga ye mujulirwa wange omwesigwa.
38 Yet, thou thyself, hast cast off, and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with thine Anointed One!
Naye kaakano, gwe wafukako amafuta omusudde, omukyaye era omunyiigidde.
39 Thou hast cast down the covenant of thy Servant, Thou hast profaned, to the earth, his crown;
Endagaano gye wakola n’omuweereza wo wagimenyawo, n’engule ye n’ogisuula eri mu nfuufu.
40 Thou hast broken down all his defenses, Thou hast laid his fortresses in ruins;
Wamenyaamenya bbugwe we yenna, n’oggyawo n’ebigo bye.
41 All the passers by the way, have plundered him, He hath become a reproach to his neighbours;
Abatambuze baanyaga ebintu bye; n’afuuka ekisekererwa mu baliraanwa be.
42 Thou hast raised the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast gladdened all his enemies;
Wayimusa omukono gw’abalabe be ogwa ddyo, n’osanyusa abalabe be bonna.
43 Yea thou hast turned the edge of his sword, Neither hast thou caused him to stand in the battle;
Wakyusa ekitala kye n’otomuyamba mu lutalo.
44 Thou hast brought to an end his splendour, And, his throne—to the ground, hast thou hurled;
Ekitiibwa kye wakikomya; entebe ye ey’obwakabaka n’ogisuula wansi.
45 Thou hast shortened the days of his youths, —Thou hast covered him with shame. (Selah)
Ennaku z’obuvuka bwe wazisalako, n’omuswaza.
46 How long, O Yahweh, Wilt thou hide thyself utterly? Shall thine indignation, burn like fire?
Ayi Mukama, olyekweka ennaku zonna? Obusungu bwo obubuubuuka ng’omuliro bulikoma ddi?
47 Remember how short-lived, I, am, Wherefore, in vain, hast thou created all the sons of Adam?
Jjukira ekiseera ky’obulamu bwange nga bwe kiri ekimpi. Wateganira bwereere okutonda abantu bonna!
48 Who is the man that shall live, and not see death? That can deliver his soul from the hand of hades. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Muntu ki omulamu atalifa, omuntu asobola okwewonya okufa n’awangula amaanyi g’emagombe? (Sheol h7585)
49 Where are thy former lovingkindnesses, O My Lord? Thou didst swear unto David, in thy faithfulness!
Ayi Mukama, okwagala kwo okw’edda okutaggwaawo, kwe walayirira Dawudi mu bwesigwa bwo, kuli luuyi wa?
50 Remember, O My Lord, the reproach of thy servants, I have carried in my bosom the insult of the peoples:
Ayi Mukama, jjukira abaweereza bo nga basekererwa, engeri abantu ab’omu mawanga amangi, bwe banzitoowerera mu mutima nga banvuma;
51 In that thy foes have reproached, O Yahweh, In that they have reproached the footsteps of thine Anointed One!
abalabe bo banvuma, Ayi Mukama; ne bajerega oyo gwe wafukako amafuta, nga bamukijjanya buli gy’alaga.
52 Blessed be Yahweh to times age-abiding, Amen, and Amen!
Mukama atenderezebwenga emirembe gyonna!
