Zabbuli 101

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

A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: to thee, O LORD, will I sing.

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

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

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

I will set no wicked thing before my eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

4 Sijjanga kuba mukuusa; ekibi nnaakyewaliranga ddala.

A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

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

Whoever secretly slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart I will not endure.

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

My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

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

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

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

I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all who practise wickedness from the city of the LORD.
