Psalms 35
1 By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Mukama, wakanya abo abampakanya, lwanyisa abo abannwanyisa.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
Golokoka okwate engabo, n’akagabo onziruukirire.
3 And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, 'Thy salvation I [am].'
Galula effumu, abangigganya obazibire ekkubo; otegeeze omwoyo gwange nti, “Nze bulokozi bwo.”
4 They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
Abo bonna abannoonya okunzita bajolongebwe era baswazibwe; abo abateesa okunsanyaawo bazzibweyo ennyuma babune emiwabo.
5 They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.
Babe ng’ebisusunku ebifuumuulibwa empewo, malayika wa Mukama ng’abagoba.
6 Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer.
Ekkubo lyabwe libe lya kizikiza era lijjule obuseerezi, ne malayika wa Mukama ng’abagoba.
7 For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged for my soul.
Nga bwe bantega omutego nga siriiko kye mbakoze, ne bansimira n’ekinnya mu kkubo lyange awatali nsonga,
8 Meet him doth desolation — he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.
bazikirizibwe nga tebategedde, n’omutego gwe banteze be baba bagugwamu, era bagwe ne mu kinnya kiri bazikirire.
9 And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.
Omwoyo gwange ne gulyoka gujaguliza mu Mukama, ne gusanyukira mu bulokozi bwe.
10 All my bones say, 'Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'
Amagumba gange galyogera nti, “Ani afaanana nga ggwe, Ayi Mukama? Kubanga abaavu obadduukirira n’obawonya ababasinza amaanyi, n’abali mu kwetaaga n’obawonya abanyazi.”
11 Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
Abajulizi abakambwe bagolokoka ne bambuuza ebintu bye sirinaako kye mmanyi.
12 They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
Bwe mbayisa obulungi bo bampisa bubi, ne banakuwaza omwoyo gwange.
13 And I — in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.
So nga bwe baalwala nanakuwala ne nnyambala ebibukutu, ne neerumya nga nsiiba, ne nsaba Mukama nga nkotese omutwe, naye okusaba kwange bwe kutaddibwamu,
14 As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.
ne mbeera mu nnaku ng’ankungubagira ow’omukwano oba owooluganda nkoteka omutwe gwange mu buyinike ng’akaabira nnyina.
15 And — in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;
Naye bwe nagwa mu kabi ne beekuŋŋaanya nga basanyuse; ne bannumba nga simanyi, ne bampayiriza obutata.
16 With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.
Banduulidde n’ettima ng’abatamanyi Katonda bwe bakola, ne bannumira obujiji.
17 Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.
Ayi Mukama, olituusa ddi ng’otunula butunuzi? Nziruukirira nga bannumba, obulamu bwange obuwonye okutaagulwataagulwa, obulamu bwange obw’omuwendo eri empologoma zino.
18 I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.
Nnaakwebalizanga mu lukuŋŋaana olukulu, ne nkutenderezanga mu kibiina ky’abantu abangi ennyo.
19 Mine enemies rejoice not over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
Tokkiriza balabe bange kunneeyagalirako, abankyawa awatali nsonga; abankyayira obwereere tobakkiriza kunziimuula.
20 For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,
Teboogera bya mirembe, wabula okuwaayiriza abantu abeetuulidde emirembe mu nsi.
21 And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.'
Banjasamiza akamwa kaabwe ne boogera nti, “Leero luno, ky’okoze tukirabye n’amaaso gaffe.”
22 Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord — be not far from me,
Bino byonna obirabye, Ayi Mukama. Noolwekyo tosirika. Tonsuulirira, Ayi Mukama.
23 Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
Golokoka ojje onnyambe; nnwanirira Ayi Katonda wange era Mukama wange.
24 Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
Mu butuukirivu bwo nnejjeereza, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, tobaganya kunneeyagalirako.
25 They do not say in their heart, 'Aha, our desire.' They do not say, 'We swallowed him up.'
Tobaleka kulowooza nti, “Leero luno! Kino kye twali twagala!” Oba nti, “Tumusaanyizzaawo!”
26 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.
Abo bonna abanneeyagalirako olw’ennaku yange ne beesanyusa, batabulwetabulwe era baswazibwe; abo bonna abanneegulumirizaako baswazibwe era banyoomebwe.
27 They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.'
Abo abasanyuka ng’annejjeereza, baleekaanire waggulu olw’essanyu n’okujaganya; era boogerenga nti, “Mukama agulumizibwe, asanyuka omuweereza we ng’atebenkedde.”
28 And my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy praise!
Olulimi lwange lunaayogeranga ku butuukirivu bwo, era nnaakutenderezanga olunaku lwonna.
