Psalms 85
1 Yahweh, you have been kind to [us people who live in] this land; you have enabled [us] Israeli people to become prosperous again.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Ensi yo ogikoledde ebyekisa Ayi Mukama; Yakobo omuddizza ebibye.
2 You forgave [us], your people, for the sins that we had committed; you pardoned [us] for all our sins [DOU].
Abantu bo obasonyiye ebyonoono byabwe, n’ebibi byabwe byonna n’obibikkako.
3 You stopped being angry [with us] and turned away from severely punishing [us].
Ekiruyi kyo kyonna okirese, n’oleka n’obusungu bwo obubuubuuka.
4 Now, God, the one who saves/rescues us, (restore us/make us prosperous again) and stop being angry with us!
Tukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Katonda w’obulokozi bwaffe, oleke okutusunguwalira.
5 (Will you continue to be angry with us forever?/Please do not continue to be angry with us forever.) [DOU, RHQ]
Onootusunguwaliranga emirembe gyonna? Onootunyiigiranga emirembe n’emirembe?
6 Please enable us [RHQ] to prosper again in order that [we], your people, will rejoice about what you [have done for us].
Tolituzaamu ndasi, abantu bo basanyukirenga mu ggwe?
7 Yahweh, by rescuing us [from our troubles/difficulties], show us that you faithfully love us.
Tulage okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo Ayi Katonda, era otuwe obulokozi bwo.
8 I want to listen to what Yahweh [our] God says, because he promises/says that he will enable [us], his people, to live peacefully, if we do not return to doing foolish things.
Nnaawulirizanga Mukama Katonda by’agamba; asuubiza abantu be, be batukuvu be, okubawa emirembe; naye tebaddayo mu byonoono byabwe.
9 He is surely ready to save/rescue those who revere him, in order that [his] glory/splendor will be seen in our land.
Ddala ddala obulokozi bwe busemberera abo abamutya, ensi yaffe n’eryoka ejjula ekitiibwa kye.
10 [When that happens], he will both faithfully love us and faithfully [do for us what he promised to do] [PRS]; and we will act/behave righteously, and he will give us peace, which will be like a kiss that he gives us.
Okwagala n’obwesigwa bisisinkanye; obutuukirivu n’emirembe binywegeraganye.
11 Here on earth, we will (be loyal to/continually believe in) God, and from heaven, God will act justly/fairly [toward us].
Obwesigwa bulose mu nsi, n’obutukuvu ne butunuulira ensi nga businzira mu ggulu.
12 Yes, Yahweh will do good things [for us], and there will be great harvests in our land.
Ddala ddala Katonda anaatuwanga ebirungi, n’ensi yaffe eneebalanga ebibala bingi.
13 [Yahweh always acts] righteously [PRS, MET]; he acts righteously wherever he goes.
Obutuukirivu bunaamukulemberanga, era bunaateekateekanga ekkubo mw’anaayitanga.
