Zabbuli 109
1 Ya Makulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Katonda wange gwe ntendereza, tonsiriikirira.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2 Kubanga abantu abakola ebibi era abalimba, banjogeddeko eby’obulimba.
For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 Banfukumulidde ebigambo eby’obukyayi, ne bannumbagana awatali nsonga.
They surrounded me also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4 Bwe mbalaga omukwano, bo bandaga bukyayi; kyokka nze mbasabira.
For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself to prayer.
5 Bwe mbakolera ebirungi bo bansasulamu bibi; bwe mbalaga okwagala bo bankyawa bukyayi.
And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Mumulabire omuntu omukozi w’ebibi amwolekere; wabeewo amuwawaabira.
Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
7 Bwe banaawoza, omusango gumusinge; n’okusaba kwe kufuuke kwonoona.
When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
8 Aleme kuwangaala; omuntu omulala amusikire.
Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
9 Abaana be basigalire awo nga tebaliiko kitaabwe, ne mukyala we afuuke nnamwandu.
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 Abaana be bataataaganenga nga bagenda basabiriza; bagobebwe ne mu bifulukwa mwe basula.
Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Amubanja ajje awambe ebibye byonna; n’abagwira bamunyageko ebintu bye byonna bye yakolerera.
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let strangers spoil his labour.
12 Waleme kubaawo amusaasira, wadde akolera abaana be ebyekisa.
Let there be none to extend mercy to him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
13 Ezzadde lye lizikirizibwe, n’amannya g’abazzukulu be gasangulwe mu ago ag’omu mulembe oguliddirira.
Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Mukama ajjukirenga ebyonoono bya bakadde be; n’ekibi kya nnyina kireme kwerabirwanga.
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Mukama ajjukirenga ebyonoono byabwe bulijjo, n’ensi ebeerabirire ddala.
Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 Kubanga talowoozangako kukolera muntu yenna kya kisa; naye yayigganyanga abaavu, n’abeetaaga, n’abanakuwavu n’abatuusa ne ku kufa.
Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
17 Yayagalanga nnyo okukolima; kale ebikolimo bimwefuulire. Teyayagalanga mikisa; kale gimwesambire ddala!
As he loved cursing, so let it come to him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 Yeeteekako okukolima ng’ekyambalo, ne kumutobya ng’amazzi, ne kuyingira mu magumba ge ng’amafuta.
As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
19 Kubeerenga ng’ekyambalo ky’ayambadde, era ng’olukoba lwe yeesibye emirembe gyonna.
Let it be to him as the garment which covereth him, and for a belt with which he is girded continually.
20 Ebyo byonna y’eba ebeera empeera, Mukama gy’awa abo abandoopaloopa, era abanjogerako eby’akabi ebyereere.
Let this be the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 Naye ggwe, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, nnwanirira olw’erinnya lyo; era omponye olw’okwagala kwo okulungi okutaggwaawo.
But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
22 Kubanga ndi mwavu era ali mu kwetaaga, n’omutima gwange gunyolwa nnyo.
For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23 Sikyaliwo, ndi ng’ekisiikirize eky’akawungeezi; mmansuddwa eri ng’enzige.
I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24 Amaviivi gange ganafuye olw’okusiiba; omubiri gwange gukozze ne guggwaamu ensa.
My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
25 Abandoopaloopa bansekerera; bwe bandaba nga banyeenyeza omutwe.
I became also a reproach to them: when they looked upon me they shook their heads.
26 Mbeera, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange! Ondokole ng’okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo bwe kuli.
Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
27 Baleke bategeere nti ggwe okikoze, n’omukono gwo Ayi Mukama.
That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.
28 Balikoma, naye ggwe olimpa omukisa! Leka abannumbagana baswale, naye nze omuddu wo nga nsanyuka!
Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
29 Abandoopa baswazibwe, n’ensonyi zaabwe zibabuzeeko obwekyusizo.
Let my adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
30 Nneebazanga Mukama n’akamwa kange; nnaamutenderezanga wakati mu kibiina ekinene.
I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
31 Kubanga alwanirira omunaku ali mu kwetaaga, n’amuwonya abo abaagala afe.
For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
