Psalms 95
1 Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!
Mujje tuyimbire Mukama; tuyimbire waggulu n’essanyu nga tutendereza Mukama Olwazi olw’obulokozi bwaffe.
2 We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
Tujje mu maaso ge n’okwebaza; tumuyimbire ennyimba ez’okumutendereza.
3 Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
Kubanga Mukama ye Katonda Omukulu; era Kabaka Omukulu asinga bakatonda bonna.
4 He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
Enkonko ez’ensi ziri mu mukono gwe; n’entikko z’ensozi nazo zize.
5 The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.
Ennyanja yiye, kubanga ye yagikola; n’emikono gye, gye gyabumba olukalu.
6 We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
Mujje tusinze tuvuuname mu maaso ge; tufukamire mu maaso ga Mukama, Omutonzi waffe.
7 He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
Kubanga ye Katonda waffe, naffe tuli bantu ab’omu ddundiro lye, era tuli ndiga ze z’alabirira. Olwa leero bwe muwulira eddoboozi lye,
8 He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
“Temukakanyaza mitima gyammwe nga bwe kyali e Meriba, ne ku lunaku luli e Maasa mu ddungu;
9 There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
bajjajjammwe gye bangezesa; newaakubadde baali baalaba dda ebyamagero bye nakola.
10 For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
Abantu b’omulembe ogwo ne mbasunguwalira okumala emyaka amakumi ana; ne ŋŋamba nti, ‘Be bantu abakyama mu mutima gwabwe, era tebamanyi makubo gange.’
11 So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
Kyennava ndayira nga nsunguwadde nti, ‘Tebaliyingira mu kiwummulo kyange.’”
