Zabbuli 101

1 Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Nnaayimbanga ku kwagala kwo n’obutuukirivu bwo; nnaayimbiranga ggwe, Ayi Mukama.

A Psalm of David himself. I will sing mercy and judgment to you, O Lord. I will sing psalms.

2 Nneegenderezanga, mu bulamu bwange ne nkola eby’obutuukirivu, naye olijja ddi gye ndi? Nnaabeeranga mu nnyumba yange nga siriiko kya kunenyezebwa.

And I will have understanding within the immaculate way, when you will draw near to me. I wandered about in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

3 Sijjanga kwereetereza kintu kyonna ekibi. Nkyayira ddala ebikolwa by’abo abava mu kkubo lyo; sijjanga kubyeteekako.

I will not display any unjust thing before my eyes. I have hated those carrying out betrayals.

4 Sijjanga kuba mukuusa; ekibi nnaakyewaliranga ddala.

The perverse heart did not adhere to me. And the malignant, who turned away before me, I would not recognize.

5 Oyo alyolyoma muliraanwa we mu kyama, nnaamuzikiririzanga ddala; amaaso ag’amalala n’omutima ogw’amalala sijja kubigumiikirizanga.

The one who secretly detracted his neighbor, this one I pursued. The one with an arrogant eye and an insatiable heart, with that one I would not eat.

6 Abeesigwa abali mu nsi yaffe nnaabasanyukiranga, balyoke babeerenga nange; akola eby’obutuukirivu y’anamperezanga.

My eyes looked toward the faithful of the earth, to sit with me. The one walking in the immaculate way, this one ministered to me.

7 Atayogera mazima taabeerenga mu nnyumba yange. Omuntu alimba sirimuganya kwongera kubeera nange.

He who has acted arrogantly will not dwell in the midst of my house. He who has spoken iniquity was not guided with the sight of my eyes.

8 Buli nkya nnaazikirizanga abakola ebibi bonna mu nsi, bwe ntyo abakozi b’ebibi ne mbamalirawo ddala mu kibuga kya Mukama.

In the morning, I executed all the sinners of the earth, so that I might scatter all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.
