Psalms 16
1 A Poem by David. Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
Ya Dawudi. Onkuume, Ayi Katonda, kubanga ggwe buddukiro bwange.
2 My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
Nagamba Mukama nti, “Ggwe Mukama wange, ebirungi byonna bye nnina biva gy’oli.”
3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
Abatukuvu abali mu nsi be njagala era mu bo mwe nsanyukira.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
Ennaku y’abo abagoberera bakatonda abalala yeeyongera. Siriwaayo ssaddaaka zaabwe ez’omusaayi, wadde okusinza bakatonda baabwe.
5 Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
Mukama, ggwe mugabo gwange, era ggw’oliisa obulamu bwange; era ggw’olabirira ebyange.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
Ensalo zange ziri mu bifo ebisanyusa, ddala ddala omugabo omulungi.
7 I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
Nnaatenderezanga Mukama kubanga annuŋŋamya ne mu kiro ayigiriza omutima gwange.
8 I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Nkulembeza Mukama buli kiseera, era ali ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo, siinyeenyezebwenga.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
Noolwekyo omutima gwange gusanyuka, n’akamwa kange ne kajaguza; era n’omubiri gwange gunaabeeranga mu mirembe.
10 For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Kubanga omwoyo gwange toliguleka magombe, wadde okukkiriza Omutukuvu wo okuvunda. (Sheol h7585)
11 You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
Olindaga ekkubo ery’obulamu; w’oli we wanaabanga essanyu erijjuvu, era mu mukono gwo ogwa ddyo nga mwe muli ebisanyusa emirembe gyonna.
