< Zabbuli 11 >
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Mu Mukama mwe neekweka; ate muyinza mutya okuŋŋamba nti, “Ddukira ku nsozi ng’ebinyonyi?
I trust that Yahweh will protect [MTY] me. So do not [RHQ] say to me, “You need to escape/flee to the mountains like birds do,
2 Kubanga laba ababi baleega emitego gyabwe egy’obusaale, balase abalina omutima omulongoofu.
because wicked people have hidden in the darkness, they have pulled back their bowstrings and aimed their arrows to shoot them at godly/righteous [IDM] people [like you].
3 Emisingi nga gizikirizibwa, omutuukirivu ayinza kukola ki?”
When people are not punished for disobeying the laws, (what can righteous people do?/there is not much that righteous people can do.)” [RHQ]
4 Mukama ali mu Yeekaalu ye entukuvu; Mukama atudde ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka eri mu ggulu. Amaaso ge gatunuulira era geetegereza abaana b’abantu.
But Yahweh is sitting on his throne in his sacred temple in heaven, and he [SYN] watches everything that people do.
5 Mukama akebera abatuukirivu naye omutima gwe gukyawa ababi, n’abakola eby’obukambwe.
Yahweh examines what righteous people do and what wicked people do, and he hates those who like to perform violent actions [to injure others].
6 Ababi alibayiwako amanda ag’omuliro; n’empewo ezibambula gwe guliba omugabo gwabwe.
He will send down [from the sky] flaming coals and burning sulfur, and send scorching hot winds to punish wicked people.
7 Kubanga Mukama mutuukirivu era ayagala eby’obutuukirivu; abo abalongoofu be balimulaba.
Yahweh is righteous and he loves those who act righteously; righteous people are able to come into his presence.
