Zabbuli 104
1 Weebaze Mukama, ggwe emmeeme yange. Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, oli mukulu nnyo; ojjudde obukulu n’ekitiibwa.
Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD, my God! thou art very great! Thou art clothed with glory and majesty!
2 Yeebika ekitangaala ng’ayeebikka ekyambalo n’abamba eggulu ng’eweema,
He covereth himself with light as with a garment; He spreadeth out the heavens like a curtain;
3 n’ateeka akasolya k’ebisulo bye eby’oku ntikko kungulu ku mazzi; ebire abifuula amagaali ge, ne yeebagala ebiwaawaatiro by’empewo.
He layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; He maketh the clouds his chariot; He rideth upon the wings of the wind.
4 Afuula empewo ababaka be, n’ennimi z’omuliro ogwaka abaweereza be.
He maketh the winds his messengers, The flaming lightnings his ministers.
5 Yassaawo ensi ku misingi gyayo; teyinza kunyeenyezebwa.
He established the earth on its foundations; It shall not be removed for ever.
6 Wagibikkako obuziba ng’ekyambalo; amazzi ne gatumbiira okuyisa ensozi ennene.
Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a garment; The waters stood above the mountains!
7 Bwe wagaboggolera ne gadduka; bwe gaawulira okubwatuka kwo ne gaddukira ddala;
At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
8 gaakulukutira ku nsozi ennene, ne gakkirira wansi mu biwonvu mu bifo bye wagategekera.
The mountains rose, the valleys sank, In the place which thou didst appoint for them.
9 Wagassizaawo ensalo ze gatasaana kusukka, na kuddayo kubuutikira nsi.
Thou hast established a bound which the waters may not pass, That they may not return, and cover the earth.
10 Alagira ensulo ne zisindika amazzi mu biwonvu; ne gakulukutira wakati w’ensozi.
He sendeth forth the springs in brooks; They run among the mountains;
11 Ne ganywesa ebisolo byonna eby’omu nsiko; n’endogoyi ne gazimalako ennyonta.
They give drink to all the beasts of the forest; In them the wild asses quench their thirst.
12 Ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga bizimba ebisu byabyo ku mabbali g’amazzi, ne biyimbira mu matabi.
About them the birds of heaven have their habitation; They sing among the branches.
13 Afukirira ensozi ennene ng’osinziira waggulu gy’obeera; ensi n’ekkuta ebibala by’emirimu gyo.
He watereth the hills from his chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works!
14 Olagira omuddo ne gukula okuliisa ente, n’ebirime abantu bye balima, balyoke bafune ebyokulya okuva mu ttaka.
He causeth grass to spring up for cattle, And herbage for the service of man, To bring forth food out of the earth,
15 Ne wayini okusanyusa omutima gwe, n’ebizigo okwesiiga awoomye endabika ye, n’emmere okumuwa obulamu.
And wine that gladdeneth the heart of man, Making his face to shine more than oil, And bread that strengtheneth man's heart.
16 Emiti gya Mukama gifuna amazzi mangi; gy’emivule gy’e Lebanooni gye yasimba.
The trees of the LORD are full of sap, The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
17 Omwo ebinyonyi mwe bizimba ebisu byabyo; ne ssekanyolya asula mu miti omwo.
There the birds build their nests; In the cypresses the stork hath her abode.
18 Ku nsozi empanvu eyo embulabuzi ez’omu nsiko gye zibeera; n’enjazi kye kiddukiro ky’obumyu.
The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats, And the rocks for the conies.
19 Wakola omwezi okutegeeza ebiro; n’enjuba bw’egwa n’eraga olunaku.
He appointed the moon to mark seasons; The sun knoweth when to go down.
20 Oleeta ekizikiza, ne buba ekiro; olwo ebisolo byonna eby’omu bibira ne biryoka bivaayo.
Thou makest darkness, and it is night, When all the beasts of the forest go forth!
21 Empologoma ento zikaabira emmere gye zinaalya; nga zinoonya ebyokulya okuva eri Katonda.
The young lions roar for prey, And seek their food from God.
22 Enjuba bw’evaayo ne zigenda, n’oluvannyuma ne zikomawo ne zigalamira mu mpuku zaazo.
When the sun ariseth, they withdraw themselves, And lie down in their dens.
23 Abantu ne bagenda ku mirimu gyabwe, ne bakola okutuusa akawungeezi.
Man goeth forth to his work, And to his labor, until the evening.
24 Ayi Mukama, ebintu bye wakola nga bingi nnyo! Byonna wabikola n’amagezi ag’ekitalo; ensi ejjudde ebitonde byo.
O LORD! how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all! The earth is full of thy riches!
25 Waliwo ennyanja, nnene era ngazi, ejjudde ebitonde ebitabalika, ebintu ebirina obulamu ebinene era n’ebitono.
Lo! this great and wide sea! In it are moving creatures without number, Animals small and great.
26 Okwo amaato kwe gaseeyeeyera nga galaga eno n’eri; ne galukwata ge wakola mwe gabeera okuzannyiranga omwo.
There go the ships; There is the leviathan, which thou hast made to play therein.
27 Ebyo byonna bitunuulira ggwe okubiwa emmere yaabyo ng’ekiseera kituuse.
All these wait on thee To give them their food in due season.
28 Bw’ogibiwa, nga bigikuŋŋaanya; bw’oyanjuluza engalo zo n’obigabira ebintu ebirungi ne bikkusibwa.
Thou givest it to them, they gather it; Thou openest thine hand, they are satisfied with good.
29 Bw’okweka amaaso go ne byeraliikirira nnyo; bw’obiggyamu omukka nga bifa, nga biddayo mu nfuufu.
Thou hidest thy face, they are confounded; Thou takest away their breath, they die, And return to the dust.
30 Bw’oweereza Omwoyo wo, ne bifuna obulamu obuggya; olwo ensi n’ogizza buggya.
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, And thou renewest the face of the earth.
31 Ekitiibwa kya Katonda kibeerengawo emirembe gyonna; era Mukama asanyukirenga ebyo bye yakola.
The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever; The LORD shall rejoice in his works;
32 Atunuulira ensi, n’ekankana; bw’akwata ku nsozi ennene, ne zinyooka omukka.
He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
33 Nnaayimbiranga Mukama obulamu bwange bwonna; nnaayimbanga nga ntendereza Katonda wange ennaku zonna ze ndimala nga nkyali mulamu.
I will sing to the LORD as long as I live, I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34 Ebirowoozo byange, nga nfumiitiriza, bimusanyusenga; kubanga mu Mukama mwe neeyagalira.
May my meditation be acceptable to him! I will rejoice in the LORD.
35 Naye abakola ebibi baggweewo ku nsi; aboonoonyi baleme kulabikirako ddala. Weebaze Mukama, gwe emmeeme yange. Mumutenderezenga Mukama.
May sinners perish from the earth, And the wicked be no more! Bless the LORD, O my soul! Praise ye the LORD!
