Psalms 106
1 Praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh, because he does good things [for us]; he faithfully loves [us] forever/continually!
Mumutendereze Mukama! Mwebaze Mukama kubanga mulungi, kubanga okwagala kwe tekuggwaawo emirembe gyonna.
2 [Because Yahweh has done many great things], no one can [RHQ] tell all the great things that Yahweh has done, and no one can praise him enough/sufficiently.
Ani ayinza okwogera ku bikulu Mukama by’akola n’abimalayo, oba okumutendereza obulungi nga bw’asaanira?
3 (Happy are/He is pleased with) those who act fairly/justly, with those who always do what is right.
Balina omukisa abalina obwenkanya, era abakola ebituufu bulijjo.
4 Yahweh, be kind to me when you help your people; help me when you rescue/save them.
Onzijukiranga, Ayi Mukama, bw’obanga okolera abantu bo ebirungi; nange onnyambe bw’olibalokola,
5 Allow me to see it when your people become prosperous again and when [all the people of] your nation, [Israel], are happy; allow me to be happy with them! I want to praise you along with [all] those [others] who belong to you.
ndyoke neeyagalire wamu n’abalonde bo nga bafunye ebirungi, nsanyukire wamu n’eggwanga lyo, era ntendererezenga mu bantu bo.
6 We and our ancestors have sinned; we have done things that were very wicked [DOU].
Twonoonye, nga bajjajjaffe bwe baakola; tukoze ebibi ne tusobya nnyo.
7 When our ancestors were in Egypt, they did not pay attention to the wonderful things that Yahweh did; they forgot about the many times that he showed that he faithfully loved them. Instead, when they were at the Red Sea, they rebelled against God, who is greater than any other god.
Bakadde baffe tebaafaayo kujjukira ebyamagero bye wakola nga bali mu Misiri; n’ebyekisa ebingi bye wabakolera tebaabijjukira, bwe baatuuka ku Nnyanja Emyufu ne bakujeemera.
8 But he rescued them for the sake of his own [reputation] in order that he could show that he is very powerful.
Naye Mukama n’abalokola, olw’erinnya lye, alyoke amanyise amaanyi g’obuyinza bwe obungi.
9 He rebuked the Red Sea and it became dry, and [then] while he led our ancestors across it, they walked through it as though it were as dry as a desert [SIM].
Yaboggolera Ennyanja Emyufu, n’ekalira; n’abakulembera okubayisa mu buziba ng’abayita ku lukalu mu ddungu.
10 In that way he rescued them from the power [MTY] of their enemies who hated them [DOU].
Yabawonya abalabe baabwe; n’abanunula mu mikono gy’abo ababakyawa.
11 [Then] their enemies were drowned in the water [of the Red Sea]; not one of them was left.
Amazzi ne gabuutikira abalabe baabwe; ne wataba n’omu awona.
12 When that happened, our ancestors believed [that Yahweh had truly done for them] what he had promised to do, and they sang to praise him.
Olwo ne bakkiriza ebigambo bye, bye yabasuubiza; ne bayimba nga bamutendereza.
13 But they soon forgot what he had done for them; they [did things] without waiting to find out what Yahweh wanted them to do.
Waayita akabanga katono ne beerabira ebyo byonna bye yakola; ne batawulirizanga kubuulirira kwe.
14 They intensely wanted [food like they formerly ate in Egypt]. They [did evil things to] find out [if they could do those things without God punishing them].
Bwe baatuuka mu ddungu, okwegomba ne kubasukkirira; ne bagezesa Katonda nga bali mu lukoola olwo.
15 [So] he gave them what they requested, but he [also] caused a terrible disease to afflict them.
Bw’atyo n’abawa kye baasaba, kyokka n’abaleetera n’olumbe olw’amaanyi.
16 [Later] when [some of] the men became jealous of Moses and [his older brother] Aaron, who was dedicated [to serve Yahweh by being a priest],
Nga bali mu lusiisira baakwatirwa obuggya eri Musa ne Alooni abalonde ba Mukama.
17 the ground opened up and swallowed Dathan and [also] buried Abiram and his family.
Ettaka ne lyasama ne limira Dasani; Abiraamu ne banne ne libasaanyaawo.
18 And [God sent] a fire down [from heaven] which burned up [all] the wicked [people who (supported them/agreed with) them].
Omuliro ne gukoleera ne gukwata abagoberezi baabwe; ennimi z’omuliro ne zookya aboonoonyi.
19 Then the [Israeli leaders] made a gold statue at Sinai [Mountain] and worshiped it.
Bwe baali e Kolebu ne beekolera ennyana; ne basinza ekifaananyi ekyo kye baakola mu byuma bye baasaanuusa.
20 Instead of worshiping [our] glorious God, they [started to] worship a statue of a bull that eats grass!
Ekitiibwa kya Katonda ne bakiwaanyisaamu ekibumbe ekifaanana ente erya omuddo.
21 They forgot about God, who had rescued them by the great miracles that he performed in Egypt.
Ne beerabira Katonda eyabanunula, eyabakolera ebintu ebikulu bwe bityo mu Misiri,
22 They forgot about the wonderful things that he did for them in Egypt and the amazing/awesome things that he did for them at the Red Sea.
ebyamagero bye yabakolera mu nsi ya Kaamu, n’ebikolwa eby’entiisa ku Nnyanja Emyufu.
23 Because of that, God said that he would get rid of the Israelis, but Moses, whom God had chosen [to serve him], pleaded with God [not to get rid of them]. And as a result God did not destroy them.
N’agamba nti, Ajja kubazikiriza. Naye Musa, omulonde we, n’ayimirira mu maaso ge n’amwegayirira, obusungu bwe ne bumuggwaako n’atabazikiriza.
24 [Later], our ancestors (refused/were afraid) to enter beautiful [Canaan] land because they did not believe [that God would enable them to take the land from the people who were living there, as] he had promised.
Baanyooma eby’ensi ennungi, kubanga ekisuubizo kye tebaakirinaamu bwesige.
25 They stayed in their tents and grumbled and would not pay attention to what Yahweh said that they should do.
Beemulugunyiriza mu weema zaabwe, ne batagondera ddoboozi lya Mukama.
26 So he solemnly [MTY] told them that he would cause them to die [there] in the desert,
Kyeyava yeerayirira nti alibazikiririza mu ddungu,
27 and that he would scatter their descendants among the [people of other] nations/people-groups [who did not believe in him], and that he would allow them to die in those lands.
era nga n’abaana baabwe balisaasaanira mu mawanga ne bafiira eyo.
28 Later the Israeli people [started to] worship [the idol of] Baal [who they thought lived] at Peor [Mountain], and they ate [meat that had been] sacrificed to [Baal and those other] lifeless gods.
Baatandika okusinza Baali e Peoli; ne balya ebyaweebwangayo eri bakatonda abataliimu bulamu.
29 Yahweh became [very] angry because of what they had done, [so again] he sent a terrible disease to attack/strike them.
Ne banyiiza Katonda olw’ebikolwa byabwe ebibi; kawumpuli kyeyava abagwamu.
30 But Phinehas stood up and punished/killed [the ones who had sinned greatly], and as a result the (plague/serious disease) ended.
Naye Finekaasi n’ayimirira wakati waabwe ne Katonda, kawumpuli n’agenda.
31 People have remembered that righteous thing that Phinehas did, and in future years people will remember it.
Ekyo ne kimubalirwa nga kya butuukirivu emirembe gyonna.
32 [Then] at Meribah Springs our ancestors caused Yahweh to become angry, and as a result Moses had trouble.
Bwe baatuuka okumpi n’amazzi ag’e Meriba ne banyiiza Mukama, ne baleetera Musa emitawaana;
33 They caused Moses to become very angry [IDM], and he said things that were foolish.
kubanga baajeemera ebiragiro bye, ne kimwogeza n’ebigambo ebitaali bya magezi.
34 Our ancestors did not destroy the people [who did not believe in Yahweh] like he told them to do.
Abantu be baalwanyisa tebaabazikiriza nga Mukama bwe yali abalagidde,
35 Instead, they mingled with people from those people-groups, and they started to do the evil things that those people did.
naye beetabika n’abannaggwanga ago ne bayiga empisa zaabwe.
36 Our ancestors worshiped the idols of those people, which resulted in their being destroyed/exiled/taken to another country [MET].
Baasinza ebifaananyi ebikole n’emikono eby’amawanga ago ne bibafuukira omutego.
37 [Some of] the Israelis sacrificed their sons and daughters to the demons [that those idols represented].
Baawaayo batabani baabwe ne bawala baabwe eri bakatonda abo.
38 They killed [MTY] their own children, who (were innocent/had not done things that were wrong), and offered them as sacrifices to the idols in Canaan. [As a result], Canaan land was polluted by those murders [MTY].
Ne bayiwa omusaayi gwa batabani baabwe ne bawala baabwe abataliiko musango, be baawangayo eri ebifaananyi ebikole n’emikono Abakanani bye baakola, ensi n’eyonoonebwa n’omusaayi gwabwe.
39 So by their deeds they caused themselves to become unacceptable to God; [because they did not faithfully worship only God], [they became like] women who sleep with other men [instead of sleeping only with their husbands] [MET].
Beeyonoona olw’ebyo bye baakola, ebikolwa byabwe ne bibafuula abataliimu nsa nga bavudde ku Katonda waabwe.
40 So Yahweh became very angry with his people; he was completely disgusted with them.
Mukama kyeyava asunguwalira abantu be, n’akyawa ezzadde lye.
41 [As a result] he allowed people-groups [who did not believe in him] to conquer them, so those who hated our ancestors started to rule over them.
N’abawaayo eri amawanga amalala, abalabe ne babafuga.
42 Their enemies (oppressed them/treated them cruelly) and completely controlled them [MET].
Abalabe baabwe ne babanyigiriza, ne babatuntuza nnyo ddala.
43 Many times Yahweh rescued them, but they continued to rebel against him, and they were finally destroyed because of the sins that they committed.
Yabawonyanga abalabe baabwe emirundi mingi, naye obujeemu ne bubalemeramu, ebibi byabwe ne bigenda nga bibasaanyaawo.
44 However, Yahweh [always] heard them when they cried out to him; he listened to them when they were distressed.
Naye bwe yawulira okukaaba kwabwe, n’abakwatirwa ekisa;
45 For their sake, he thought about the agreement/promise that he had made [to bless] them, and because he never stopped loving them very much, he changed his mind [about punishing them more].
ku lwabwe, n’ajjukira endagaano ye; okwagala kwe okungi ne kumuleetera okukyusa ekirowoozo kye.
46 He caused all those who had taken the Israelis [to Babylonia] to (feel sorry for/pity) them.
N’abaleetera okusaasirwa abo abaabawambanga.
47 Yahweh our God, rescue/save us and bring us back [to Israel] from among those people-groups in order that we may thank you [MTY] and joyfully praise you.
Ayi Mukama Katonda, otulokole, otukuŋŋaanye, otuggye mu mawanga, tulyoke twebazenga erinnya lyo ettukuvu, era tusanyukenga nga tukutendereza.
48 Praise Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], praise him now and forever! And I want everyone to say, “Amen/May it be so!” Praise Yahweh!
Mukama atenderezebwenga, Katonda wa Isirayiri, emirembe n’emirembe. Abantu bonna ka boogere nti, “Amiina!” Mumutendereze Mukama.
