Zabbuli 108

1 Oluyimba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Omutima gwange munywevu, Ayi Katonda; nnaayimbanga ne nkutendereza n’omwoyo gwange gwonna.

A Song. A Psalm by David. My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.

2 Muzuukuke, mmwe entongooli n’ennanga ey’enkoba, nzija kuyimba okukeesa obudde.

Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.

3 Nnaakutenderezanga, Ayi Mukama, mu bantu bonna, nnaakuyimbiranga mu mawanga gonna.

I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations. I will sing praises to you among the peoples.

4 Okwagala kwo kunene, kutumbiira okutuuka ku ggulu; n’obwesigwa bwo butuuka ku bire.

For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

5 Ogulumizibwenga, Ayi Katonda, okuyisa eggulu; n’ekitiibwa kyo kibune ensi yonna.

Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth.

6 Tulokole otuyambe n’omukono gwo ogwa ddyo, abo booyagala banunulibwe.

That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

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 from his sanctuary: “In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure 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 also is my helmet. Judah is my scepter.

9 Mowaabu be baweereza bange abawulize; ate Edomu be baddu bange; Abafirisuuti ndibaleekaanira mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka ery’obuwanguzi.”

Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout over Philistia.”

10 Ani anantuusa ku kibuga ekigumu ekinywevu? Ani anankulembera okunnyingiza mu Edomu?

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

11 Si ggwe, ayi Katonda, atusudde, atakyatabaala n’amaggye gaffe?

Haven’t you rejected us, God? You don’t go out, God, with our armies.

12 Tudduukirire nga tulwanyisa abalabe baffe, kubanga obuyambi bw’abantu temuli nsa.

Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.

13 Bwe tunaabeeranga ne Katonda tunaabanga bawanguzi; kubanga y’anaalinnyiriranga abalabe baffe wansi w’ebigere bye.

Through God, we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our enemies.
