Zabbuli 108
1 Oluyimba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Omutima gwange munywevu, Ayi Katonda; nnaayimbanga ne nkutendereza n’omwoyo gwange gwonna.
A Song. A Psalm. Of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will make songs and melody, even with my glory.
2 Muzuukuke, mmwe entongooli n’ennanga ey’enkoba, nzija kuyimba okukeesa obudde.
Give out your sounds, O corded instruments: the dawn will be awaking with my song.
3 Nnaakutenderezanga, Ayi Mukama, mu bantu bonna, nnaakuyimbiranga mu mawanga gonna.
I will give you praise, O Lord, among the peoples; I will make melody to you among the nations.
4 Okwagala kwo kunene, kutumbiira okutuuka ku ggulu; n’obwesigwa bwo butuuka ku bire.
For your mercy is higher than the heavens: and your unchanging faith than the clouds.
5 Ogulumizibwenga, Ayi Katonda, okuyisa eggulu; n’ekitiibwa kyo kibune ensi yonna.
Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
6 Tulokole otuyambe n’omukono gwo ogwa ddyo, abo booyagala banunulibwe.
Let your right hand be stretched out for salvation, and give me an answer, so that your loved ones may be safe from danger.
7 Katonda ayogedde ng’asinziira mu kifo kye ekitukuvu n’agamba nti, “Nga nzijudde essanyu, ndisala mu Sekemu, era n’Ekiwonvu kya Sukkosi ndikigabanyagabanyaamu.
This is the word of the holy God: I will be glad; I will make Shechem a heritage, measuring out the valley of Succoth.
8 Ensi ya Gireyaadi yange, n’eya Manase nayo yange. Efulayimu mwe muli abalwanyi bange abazira; ate mu Yuda mwe munaavanga bakabaka.
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
9 Mowaabu be baweereza bange abawulize; ate Edomu be baddu bange; Abafirisuuti ndibaleekaanira mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka ery’obuwanguzi.”
Moab is my washpot; on Edom is the resting-place of my shoe; over Philistia will I send out a glad cry.
10 Ani anantuusa ku kibuga ekigumu ekinywevu? Ani anankulembera okunnyingiza mu Edomu?
Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?
11 Si ggwe, ayi Katonda, atusudde, atakyatabaala n’amaggye gaffe?
Have you not sent us away from you, O God? and you go not out with our armies.
12 Tudduukirire nga tulwanyisa abalabe baffe, kubanga obuyambi bw’abantu temuli nsa.
Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.
13 Bwe tunaabeeranga ne Katonda tunaabanga bawanguzi; kubanga y’anaalinnyiriranga abalabe baffe wansi w’ebigere bye.
With God we will do great things; for by him will our haters be crushed underfoot.
