< Psalms 146 >
1 Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.
Tendereza Mukama! Tendereza Mukama ggwe emmeeme yange!
2 I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
Nnaatenderezanga Mukama ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwange; nnaayimbanga okutendereza Katonda wange nga nkyali mulamu.
3 Trust not in princes — in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.
Teweesiganga bafuzi, wadde abantu obuntu omutali buyambi.
4 His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.
Kubanga bafa ne bakka emagombe; ne ku lunaku olwo lwennyini, byonna bye baba bateeseteese ne bifa.
5 O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God,
Yeesiimye oyo ayambibwa Katonda wa Yakobo; ng’essuubi lye liri mu Mukama Katonda we,
6 Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,
eyakola eggulu n’ensi n’ennyanja ne byonna ebirimu, era omwesigwa emirembe gyonna.
7 Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.
Atereeza ensonga z’abajoogebwa mu bwenkanya, n’abalumwa enjala abawa ebyokulya. Mukama asumulula abasibe.
8 Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous,
Mukama azibula amaaso ga bamuzibe, era awanirira abazitoowereddwa. Mukama ayagala abatuukirivu.
9 Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.
Mukama alabirira bannamawanga, era ayamba bamulekwa ne bannamwandu; naye ekkubo ly’abakola ebibi alifaafaaganya.
10 Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!
Mukama anaafuganga emirembe gyonna, Katonda wo, Ayi Sayuuni, anaabanga Katonda wa buli mulembe. Mutendereze Mukama!
