Psalms 41
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.
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. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him 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 sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.
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: “When will he die, and his name perish?”
Abalabe bange boogeza obukyayi nti, “Alifa ddi n’okwerabirwa ne yeerabirwa?”
6 If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells 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. They imagine the worst for me.
Abalabe bange bonna abo bateesa mu kaama; nga banjogerako ebitali birungi.
8 “An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”
Boogera nti, “Endwadde emukutte mbi nnyo, emukubye wansi tayinza kuwona.”
9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, 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, that I may repay them.
Naye ggwe, Ayi Mukama, onsaasire, onzizeemu amaanyi ndyoke nneesasuze.
11 By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.
Mmanyi ng’onsanyukira, kubanga omulabe wange tampangudde.
12 As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.
Onnywezezza mu bwesimbu bwange, ne mbeera mu maaso go ennaku zonna.
13 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen.
Atenderezebwenga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, oyo eyabaawo okuva edda n’edda lyonna n’okutuusa emirembe gyonna.
