Psalms 56

1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Dumb Dove far off.' — A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,

Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Abafirisuuti bwe baamukwatira mu Gaasi. Onsaasire, Ayi Katonda, kubanga abalabe bange banjigganya; buli lunaku bannumba n’amaanyi.

2 Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O most High,

Abalabe bange bannondoola, bangi bannwanyisa nga bajjudde amalala.

3 The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee.

Buli lwe ntya, neesiga ggwe.

4 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me.

Nditendereza Katonda ne nyweerera mu kigambo kye, ye Katonda gwe neesiga; siityenga. Abantu obuntu bagenda kunkolako ki?

5 All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts [are] for evil,

Olunaku lwonna bye njogera babifuulafuula; ebbanga lyonna baba basala nkwe kunkola kabi.

6 They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.

Beekobaana ne bateesa, banneekwekerera ne bawuliriza enswagiro zange; nga bannindirira banzite.

7 By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.

Tobakkiriza kudduka ne bawona; mu busungu bwo, Ayi Katonda, osuule amawanga.

8 My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou — place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?

Emirundi gye ntawaanyizibwa nga njaziirana ogimanyi; amaziga gange gateeke mu ccupa yo! Wagawandiika.

9 Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.

Bwe nkukoowoola, abalabe bange nga badduka. Kino nkimanyi kubanga Katonda ali ku ludda lwange.

10 In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word.

Katonda gwe ntendereza olw’ekisuubizo kye; Mukama gwe ntendereza olw’ekisuubizo kye;

11 In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me,

Katonda oyo gwe neesiga, siityenga. Abantu bayinza kunkolako ki?

12 On me, O God, [are] Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee.

Ndituukiriza obweyamo bwange gy’oli, Ayi Katonda; ndikuleetera ebirabo eby’okukwebaza.

13 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!

Kubanga emmeeme yange ogiwonyezza okufa. Ebigere byange tobiwonyezza okwesittala; ne ndyoka ntambulira mu maaso ga Katonda mu musana nga ndi mulamu?
