Psalms 64
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Hear my voice, God, listen to my complaint; preserve my life from fear of my enemies.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Katonda, owulire eddoboozi lyange, ery’okwemulugunya kwange; okuume obulamu bwange eri okutiisibwatiisibwa omulabe.
2 Hide me from the secret plotting of evildoers, from the commotion of the doers of iniquity.
Onkweke mpone enkwe z’abakola ebibi, onzigye mu kibinja ky’aboonoonyi, abaleekaana
3 They have sharpened their tongues like swords; they have aimed their arrows, bitter words,
abawagala ennimi zaabwe ng’ebitala, ne balasa ebigambo byabwe ng’obusaale obutta.
4 so that they may shoot from secret places at someone who is innocent; suddenly they shoot at him and fear nothing.
Beekweka ne bateega oyo atalina musango bamulase; amangwago ne bamulasa nga tebatya.
5 They encourage themselves in an evil plan; they consult privately together in order to set traps; they say, “Who will see us?”
Bawagiragana mu kigendererwa kyabwe ekibi ne bateesa okutega emitego mu kyama; ne boogera nti, “Ani asobola okutulaba?”
6 They invent sinful plans; “We have finished,” they say, “a careful plan.” The inner thoughts and hearts of man are deep.
Beekobaana okukola ebitali bya bwenkanya, ne boogera nti, “Tukoze enteekateeka empitirivu.” Ddala ddala ebirowoozo by’omuntu n’omutima gwe byekusifu.
7 But God will shoot them; suddenly they will be wounded with his arrows.
Naye Katonda alibalasa n’obusaale bwe; alibafumita, mangwago ne bagwa ku ttaka.
8 They will be made to stumble, since their own tongues are against them; all who see them will wag their heads.
Ebyo bye boogera biribaddira, ne bibazikiriza, ababalaba ne babanyeenyeza emitwe.
9 All people will fear and will declare God's deeds. They will wisely think about what he has done.
Olwo abantu bonna ne batya, ne bategeeza abalala omulimu gwa Katonda, ne bafumiitiriza ku ebyo by’akoze.
10 The righteous will be glad about Yahweh and will take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will take pride in him.
Omutuukirivu ajagulizenga mu Mukama, era yeekwekenga mu ye. Abo bonna abalina omutima omulongoofu bamutenderezenga!
