Zabbuli 110

1 Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Mukama yagamba Mukama wange nti: “Tuula wano ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo, okutuusa lwe ndimala okufufuggaza abalabe bo ne mbassa wansi w’ebigere byo.”

Yahweh said to my lord [the king], “Sit [here], close to me, in the place of highest honor [MTY] until I [completely defeat] your enemies [MET] [and] make [them like] a stool for your feet!”

2 Mukama aligaziya obufuzi bwo okuva mu Sayuuni; olifuga abalabe bo.

Yahweh [also said to him], “I will extend your power as king from Jerusalem [to other lands]; you will rule over all your enemies.

3 Abantu bo balyewaayo bokka mu ggye lyo ng’ekiseera ky’olutalo kituuse. Abavubuka bo, nga bali mu by’ekitiibwa ekitukuvu, balikukuŋŋaanirako ng’omusulo bwe gulabika ng’obudde bwakakya.

On the day that you lead your armies into battle, many of your people will volunteer [to join your army]. Like the dew refreshes the earth early in the morning, young men will [encourage you by] coming to help you.”

4 Mukama yalayira, era tagenda kukijjulula, yagamba nti, “Olibeera kabona emirembe gyonna ng’engeri ya Merukizeddeeki bw’eri.”

Yahweh has made a solemn promise, and he will never change his mind; he has said to the king, “You will be a priest forever [serving Yahweh] like Melchizedek did.”

5 Mukama anaakulwaniriranga; bakabaka abakulwanyisa anaababetentanga mu busungu bwe obungi.

Yahweh stands [in the place of highest honor] your right side; when he becomes angry, he will defeat [many kings].

6 Aliramula amawanga, abafuzi b’ensi yonna n’abazikiriza, n’entuumo z’emirambo ziriba nnyingi ku nsi yonna.

He will judge and punish the people of [many] nations; he will fill the land with their corpses. He will crush the heads of other kings all over the earth.

7 Alinywa amazzi mu kagga ku kkubo, n’addamu amaanyi ag’obuwanguzi.

But my lord the king will drink from streams near the road; he will be refreshed after defeating his enemies.
