Zabbuli 108
1 Oluyimba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Omutima gwange munywevu, Ayi Katonda; nnaayimbanga ne nkutendereza n’omwoyo gwange gwonna.
A Canticle Psalm, of David himself. My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared. I will sing songs, and I will sing psalms in my glory.
2 Muzuukuke, mmwe entongooli n’ennanga ey’enkoba, nzija kuyimba okukeesa obudde.
Rise up, my glory. Rise up, Psalter and harp. I will arise in early morning.
3 Nnaakutenderezanga, Ayi Mukama, mu bantu bonna, nnaakuyimbiranga mu mawanga gonna.
I will confess to you, O Lord, among the peoples. And I will sing psalms to you among the nations.
4 Okwagala kwo kunene, kutumbiira okutuuka ku ggulu; n’obwesigwa bwo butuuka ku bire.
For your mercy is great, beyond the heavens, and your truth, even to the clouds.
5 Ogulumizibwenga, Ayi Katonda, okuyisa eggulu; n’ekitiibwa kyo kibune ensi yonna.
Be exalted, O God, beyond the heavens, and your glory, beyond all the earth,
6 Tulokole otuyambe n’omukono gwo ogwa ddyo, abo booyagala banunulibwe.
so that your beloved may be freed. Save with your right hand, and heed me.
7 Katonda ayogedde ng’asinziira mu kifo kye ekitukuvu n’agamba nti, “Nga nzijudde essanyu, ndisala mu Sekemu, era n’Ekiwonvu kya Sukkosi ndikigabanyagabanyaamu.
God has spoken in his holiness. I will exult, and I will divide Shechem, and I will divide by measure the steep valley of tabernacles.
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, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the supporter of my head. Judah is my king.
9 Mowaabu be baweereza bange abawulize; ate Edomu be baddu bange; Abafirisuuti ndibaleekaanira mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka ery’obuwanguzi.”
Moab is the cooking pot of my hope. I will extend my shoe in Idumea; the foreigners have become my friends.
10 Ani anantuusa ku kibuga ekigumu ekinywevu? Ani anankulembera okunnyingiza mu Edomu?
Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will lead me, even into Idumea?
11 Si ggwe, ayi Katonda, atusudde, atakyatabaala n’amaggye gaffe?
Will not you, O God, who had rejected us? And will not you, O God, go out with our armies?
12 Tudduukirire nga tulwanyisa abalabe baffe, kubanga obuyambi bw’abantu temuli nsa.
Grant us help from tribulation, for vain is the help of man.
13 Bwe tunaabeeranga ne Katonda tunaabanga bawanguzi; kubanga y’anaalinnyiriranga abalabe baffe wansi w’ebigere bye.
In God, we will act virtuously, and he will bring our enemies to nothing.
