Psalms 66
1 [Tell] everyone on the earth that they should sing joyfully to praise God!
Ya mukulu wa bayimbi. Oluyimba, Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Yimbira Mukama n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka, ggwe ensi yonna.
2 They should sing songs that say that God [MTY] is very great, and they should tell everyone that he is very glorious!
Muyimbe ekitiibwa ky’erinnya lye. Mumuyimbire ennyimba ezimusuuta.
3 They should say to God, “The things that you do are awesome! You are very powerful, with the result that your enemies (cringe/bow down) in front of you.”
Gamba Katonda nti, “Ebikolwa byo nga bya ntiisa! Olw’amaanyi go amangi abalabe bo bakujeemulukukira.
4 Everyone on the earth [should] worship God and sing to praise him and honor him [MTY].
Ab’omu nsi yonna bakuvuunamira, bakutendereza, bayimba nga bagulumiza erinnya lyo.”
5 Come and think about what God has done! Think about the awesome things that he has done.
Mujje mulabe Katonda ky’akoze; mulabe eby’entiisa by’akoledde abaana b’abantu!
6 He caused the [Red] Sea to become dry land, [with the result that our] ancestors were able to walk right through it. There we rejoiced because of what he [had done].
Ennyanja yagifuula olukalu. Abantu baasomoka omugga n’ebigere nga temuli mazzi, kyetuva tujaguza.
7 By his great power he rules forever, and he keeps watching all the nations [to see what things they do], [so] those nations that want to rebel [against him] should not be proud.
Afuga n’amaanyi ge emirembe gyonna; amaaso ge agasimba ku mawanga, ab’omutima omujeemu baleme okumujeemera.
8 You people [of all nations], praise our God! Praise him loudly in order that people will hear you as you praise him.
Mutendereze Katonda waffe, mmwe amawanga; eddoboozi ery’okumutendereza liwulirwe wonna.
9 He has kept us alive, and he has not allowed us to (stumble/be defeated).
Oyo y’atukuumye ne tuba balamu, n’ataganya bigere byaffe kuseerera.
10 God, you have tested us; you have allowed us to experience great difficulties [to make our lives become pure] as [people] put precious metals in a hot fire [to burn out what is impure] [MET].
Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Katonda, otugezesezza, n’otulongoosa nga bwe bakola ffeeza mu muliro.
11 [It is as if] you allowed us to fall into traps [MET], and you [forced us to endure difficult things which were like] putting heavy loads on our backs [MET].
Watuteeka mu kkomera, n’otutikka emigugu.
12 You allowed [our] enemies to trample on us; we [experienced difficulties/troubles that were like] [MET] walking through fires and floods, but now you have brought us into a place where we have plenty.
Waleka abantu ne batulinnyirira; ne tuyita mu muliro ne mu mazzi, n’otutuusa mu kifo eky’okwesiima.
13 [Yahweh], I will bring to your temple offerings that are to be completely burned [on the altar]; I will offer to you what I promised.
Nnaayambukanga mu yeekaalu yo n’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, ntuukirize obweyamo bwange gy’oli,
14 When I was experiencing [much] trouble, I said that I would bring offerings to you [if you rescued me]; [and you did rescue me, so] I will bring to you what I promised.
nga ndeeta ekyo emimwa gyange kye gyasuubiza; akamwa kange kye kaayogera bwe nnali mu kabi.
15 I will bring sheep to be burned on the altar, and I will [also] sacrifice bulls and goats, and when they are burning, [you will be pleased when] the smoke [rises up] ([to you/to the sky]).
Nnaawaayo gy’oli ssaddaaka ez’ensolo ensava, mpeeyo ne ssaddaaka ey’endiga ennume; mpeeyo ente ennume n’embuzi.
16 All you [people] who revere God, come and listen, and I will tell you what he has done for me.
Mujje muwulire, mmwe mwenna abatya Katonda, mbategeeze ebyo by’ankoledde.
17 I called out to him to help me, and I praised him while I was speaking to him [MTY].
Namukaabirira n’akamwa kange, ne mutendereza n’olulimi lwange.
18 If I had ignored the sins that I had committed, the Lord would not have paid any attention to me.
Singa nnali nsirikidde ekibi mu mutima gwange, Mukama teyandimpulirizza;
19 But because [I confessed my sins], God has listened to me and he paid attention to my prayers.
ddala ddala Katonda yampuliriza era n’awulira eddoboozi lyange nga nsaba.
20 I praise God because he has not ignored my prayers or stopped faithfully loving me.
Katonda atenderezebwenga, atagobye kusaba kwange, wadde okunziggyako okwagala kwe okutaggwaawo!
