< Psalms 41 >
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Blessed is he who is concerned for the weak; in the day of trouble, Yahweh will rescue him.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Alina omukisa asaasira omunaku; Mukama amulokola ku lunaku olw’akabi.
2 Yahweh will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; Yahweh will not turn him over to the will of his enemies.
Mukama anaamukuumanga anaawonyanga obulamu bwe, era anaamuwanga omukisa mu nsi; n’atamuwaayo eri okwegomba kw’abalabe be.
3 Yahweh will support him on the bed of suffering; you will make his bed of sickness into a bed of healing.
Mukama anaamujjanjabanga nga mulwadde; n’amuwonya mu bulumi.
4 I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
Nayogera nti, “Ayi Mukama onsaasire omponye; kubanga nnyonoonye mu maaso go.”
5 My enemies speak evil against me, saying, 'When will he die and his name perish?'
Abalabe bange boogeza obukyayi nti, “Alifa ddi n’okwerabirwa ne yeerabirwa?”
6 If my enemy comes to see me, he says worthless things; his heart gathers up my disaster for itself; when he goes away from me, he tells others about it.
Bwe bajja okundaba beefuula mikwano gyange; naye munda yaabwe bankyawa era basanyuka okulaba nga ngalamidde awo nnumwa. Bwe bansiibula bagenda beesekera nga bwe baduula.
7 All who hate me whisper together against me; against me they hope for my hurt.
Abalabe bange bonna abo bateesa mu kaama; nga banjogerako ebitali birungi.
8 They say, “An evil disease holds on tightly to him; now that he is lying down, he will rise up no more.”
Boogera nti, “Endwadde emukutte mbi nnyo, emukubye wansi tayinza kuwona.”
9 Indeed, even my own close friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
Era ne mukwano gwange gwe neesiganga bwe twalyanga, anneefuukidde.
10 But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me and raise me up so that I may pay them back.
Naye ggwe, Ayi Mukama, onsaasire, onzizeemu amaanyi ndyoke nneesasuze.
11 By this I know that you delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
Mmanyi ng’onsanyukira, kubanga omulabe wange tampangudde.
12 As for me, you support me in my integrity and will keep me before your face forever.
Onnywezezza mu bwesimbu bwange, ne mbeera mu maaso go ennaku zonna.
13 May Yahweh, the God of Israel be praised from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
Atenderezebwenga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, oyo eyabaawo okuva edda n’edda lyonna n’okutuusa emirembe gyonna.
