Psalms 89
1 An instruction, by Ethan the Ezrahite. Of the kind acts of Jehovah, to the age I sing, To all generations I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth,
Endagaano ya Katonda ne Dawudi. Nnaayimbanga ku kwagala kwo okungi, Ayi Mukama, emirembe gyonna. Nnaatenderezanga obwesigwa bwo n’akamwa kange, bumanyibwe ab’emirembe gyonna.
2 For I said, 'To the age is kindness built, The heavens! Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness in them.'
Ddala ddala nnaategeezanga nti okwagala kwo tekuggwaawo ennaku zonna; n’obwesigwa bwo bunywevu ng’eggulu.
3 I have made a covenant for My chosen, I have sworn to David My servant:
Nakola endagaano n’omulonde wange; nalayirira omuweereza wange Dawudi nti,
4 'Even to the age do I establish thy seed, And have built to generation and generation thy throne. (Selah)
“Ezadde lyo nnaalinywezanga ennaku zonna, era entebe yo ey’obwakabaka nnaaginywezanga emirembe gyonna.”
5 and the heavens confess Thy wonders, O Jehovah, Thy faithfulness also [is] in an assembly of holy ones.
Eggulu linaatenderezanga ebyamagero byo n’obwesigwa bwo, Ayi Mukama, mu kibiina ky’abatukuvu bo.
6 For who in the sky, Compareth himself to Jehovah? Is like to Jehovah among sons of the mighty?
Kale, mu ggulu waggulu, ani ageraageranyizika ne Mukama? Ani afaanana nga Mukama, mu abo ababeera mu ggulu?
7 God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him.
Katonda atiibwa nnyo mu lukiiko olw’abatukuvu; era wa ntiisa okusinga bonna abamwetooloola.
8 O Jehovah, God of Hosts, Who [is] like Thee — a strong Jah? And Thy faithfulness [is] round about Thee.
Ayi Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, ani akufaanana? Oli wa buyinza, Ayi Mukama, ojjudde obwesigwa.
9 Thou [art] ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows Thou dost restrain them.
Ggwe ofuga amalala g’ennyanja; amayengo gaayo bwe geekuluumulula ogakkakkanya.
10 Thou hast bruised Rahab, as one wounded. With the arm of Thy strength Thou hast scattered Thine enemies.
Lakabu wamubetentera ddala; abalabe bo n’obasaasaanya n’omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi.
11 Thine [are] the heavens — the earth also [is] Thine, The habitable world and its fulness, Thou hast founded them.
Eggulu liryo, n’ensi yiyo; ensi yonna gwe wagitonda ne byonna ebigirimu.
12 North and south Thou hast appointed them, Tabor and Hermon in Thy name do sing.
Watonda obukiikakkono n’obukiikaddyo; ensozi Taboli ne Kerumooni zitendereza erinnya lyo.
13 Thou hast an arm with might, Strong is Thy hand — high Thy right hand.
Oli wa buyinza bungi nnyo; omukono gwo gwa maanyi, omukono gwo ogwa ddyo gunaagulumizibwanga.
14 Righteousness and judgment [Are] the fixed place of Thy throne, Kindness and truth go before Thy face.
Obutuukirivu n’obwenkanya gwe musingi gw’obwakabaka bwo. Okwagala n’obwesigwa bye binaakukulemberanga.
15 O the happiness of the people knowing the shout, O Jehovah, in the light of Thy face they walk habitually.
Balina omukisa abantu abamanyi okukutendereza Mukama n’amaloboozi ag’essanyu; Ayi Mukama, banaatambuliranga mu ssanyu lyo.
16 In Thy name they rejoice all the day, And in Thy righteousness they are exalted,
Banaasanyukiranga mu linnya lyo okuzibya obudde, n’obutuukirivu bwo banaabugulumizanga.
17 For the beauty of their strength [art] Thou, And in Thy good will is our horn exalted,
Kubanga gw’obawa amaanyi ne bafuna ekitiibwa. Olw’okwagala kwo otutuusa ku buwanguzi olw’ekisa kyo.
18 For of Jehovah [is] our shield, And of the Holy One of Israel our king.
Ddala ddala, Mukama ye ngabo yaffe, Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri kabaka waffe.
19 Then Thou hast spoken in vision, To Thy saint, yea, Thou sayest, I have placed help upon a mighty one, Exalted a chosen one out of the people,
Mu biro biri eby’edda wayogera n’omuweereza wo omwesigwa mu kwolesebwa nti, Ngulumizizza omuzira ow’amaanyi; ngulumizizza omuvubuka okuva mu bantu abaabulijjo.
20 I have found David My servant, With My holy oil I have anointed him.
Nalaba Dawudi, omuweereza wange; ne mufukako amafuta gange amatukuvu okuba kabaka.
21 With whom My hand is established, My arm also doth strengthen him.
Nnaamukulemberanga, n’omukono gwange gunaamunywezanga.
22 An enemy exacteth not upon him, And a son of perverseness afflicteth him not.
Tewaliba mulabe we alimuwangula, so n’aboonoonyi tebaamunyigirizenga.
23 And I have beaten down before him his adversaries, And those hating him I plague,
Abalabe be n’abamukyawa ndibamerengula, n’amaggye agamulwanyisa ndigabetenta.
24 And My faithfulness and kindness [are] with him, And in My name is his horn exalted.
Obwesigwa bwange n’okwagala kwange kunaabanga naye, ne mu linnya lyange aneeyongeranga okuba ow’amaanyi.
25 And I have set on the sea his hand, And on the rivers his right hand.
Alifuga okuva ku migga okutuuka ku nnyanja ennene.
26 He proclaimeth me: 'Thou [art] my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'
Anankowoolanga ng’agamba nti, Ggwe Kitange era Katonda wange, ggwe Lwazi olw’Obulokozi bwange.
27 I also first-born do appoint him, Highest of the kings of the earth.
Ndimufuula omwana wange omubereberye, era kabaka asinga okugulumizibwa mu bakabaka bonna ab’ensi.
28 To the age I keep for him My kindness, And My covenant [is] stedfast with him.
Okwagala kwange kunaabeeranga naye ennaku zonna; n’endagaano gye nkoze naye teeremenga kutuukirira.
29 And I have set his seed for ever, And his throne as the days of the heavens.
Ezzadde lye teririggwaawo emirembe gyonna, n’obwakabaka bunaavanga mu kika kye ennaku zonna.
30 If his sons forsake My law, And in My judgments do not walk;
Abaana be bwe banaanyoomanga amateeka gange, ne batagoberera biragiro byange;
31 If My statutes they pollute, And My commands do not keep,
bwe banaamenyanga ebiragiro byange, ne batagondera mateeka gange,
32 I have looked after with a rod their transgression, And with strokes their iniquity,
ndibabonereza n’omuggo olw’ebibi byabwe, ne mbakuba emiggo olw’ebyonoono byabwe.
33 And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.
Naye ssirirekayo kumwagala, wadde okumenyawo obwesigwa bwange gy’ali.
34 I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth from My lips I change not.
Sigenda kulemwa kutuukiriza ndagaano yange, wadde okukyusa ku ebyo akamwa kange bye koogedde.
35 Once I have sworn by My holiness, I lie not to David,
Nalayira omulundi gumu, ng’obutuukirivu bwange bwe buli, nti, “Dawudi sigenda kumulimba.”
36 His seed is to the age, And his throne [is] as the sun before Me,
Ezzadde lye teririggwaawo emirembe gyonna; n’entebe ye ey’obwakabaka enaabeerangawo emirembe gyonna okufaanana ng’enjuba.
37 As the moon it is established — to the age, And the witness in the sky is stedfast. (Selah)
Entebe ye ey’obwakabaka erinywezebwa emirembe n’emirembe, ng’omwezi ku ggulu era nga ye mujulirwa wange omwesigwa.
38 And Thou, Thou hast cast off, and dost reject, Thou hast shown Thyself wroth With Thine anointed,
Naye kaakano, gwe wafukako amafuta omusudde, omukyaye era omunyiigidde.
39 Hast rejected the covenant of Thy servant, Thou hast polluted to the earth his crown,
Endagaano gye wakola n’omuweereza wo wagimenyawo, n’engule ye n’ogisuula eri mu nfuufu.
40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges, Thou hast made his fenced places a ruin.
Wamenyaamenya bbugwe we yenna, n’oggyawo n’ebigo bye.
41 Spoiled him have all passing by the way, He hath been a reproach to his neighbours,
Abatambuze baanyaga ebintu bye; n’afuuka ekisekererwa mu baliraanwa be.
42 Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast caused all his enemies to rejoice.
Wayimusa omukono gw’abalabe be ogwa ddyo, n’osanyusa abalabe be bonna.
43 Also — Thou turnest back the sharpness of his sword, And hast not established him in battle,
Wakyusa ekitala kye n’otomuyamba mu lutalo.
44 Hast caused [him] to cease from his brightness, And his throne to the earth hast cast down.
Ekitiibwa kye wakikomya; entebe ye ey’obwakabaka n’ogisuula wansi.
45 Thou hast shortened the days of his youth, Hast covered him over [with] shame. (Selah)
Ennaku z’obuvuka bwe wazisalako, n’omuswaza.
46 Till when, O Jehovah, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy fury burn as fire?
Ayi Mukama, olyekweka ennaku zonna? Obusungu bwo obubuubuuka ng’omuliro bulikoma ddi?
47 Remember, I pray Thee, what [is] life-time? Wherefore in vain hast Thou created All the sons of men?
Jjukira ekiseera ky’obulamu bwange nga bwe kiri ekimpi. Wateganira bwereere okutonda abantu bonna!
48 Who [is] the man that liveth, and doth not see death? He delivereth his soul from the hand of Sheol. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Muntu ki omulamu atalifa, omuntu asobola okwewonya okufa n’awangula amaanyi g’emagombe? (Sheol h7585)
49 Where [are] Thy former kindnesses, O Lord. Thou hast sworn to David in Thy faithfulness,
Ayi Mukama, okwagala kwo okw’edda okutaggwaawo, kwe walayirira Dawudi mu bwesigwa bwo, kuli luuyi wa?
50 Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Thy servants, I have borne in my bosom all the strivings of the peoples,
Ayi Mukama, jjukira abaweereza bo nga basekererwa, engeri abantu ab’omu mawanga amangi, bwe banzitoowerera mu mutima nga banvuma;
51 Wherewith Thine enemies reproached, O Jehovah, Wherewith they have reproached The steps of Thine anointed.
abalabe bo banvuma, Ayi Mukama; ne bajerega oyo gwe wafukako amafuta, nga bamukijjanya buli gy’alaga.
52 Blessed [is] Jehovah to the age. Amen, and amen!
Mukama atenderezebwenga emirembe gyonna!
