Zabbuli 112

1 Mutendereze Mukama! Alina omukisa omuntu atya Katonda, era asanyukira ennyo mu mateeka ge.

Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man who fears Jehovah, who delights greatly in his commandments.

2 Abaana be baliba ba kitiibwa mu nsi; omulembe gw’abalongoofu guliweebwa omukisa.

His seed shall be mighty upon earth. The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Ennyumba ye enejjulanga ebintu n’obugagga obungi; era anaabanga mutuukirivu ennaku zonna.

Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

4 Ne mu kizikiza, ekitangaala kyakira omulongoofu, alina ekisa, n’oyo alina okusaasira, era omutuukirivu.

To the upright there arises light in the darkness. He is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

5 Omuntu oyo agabira abeetaaga, era tawolera magoba, era akola emirimu gye gyonna n’obwenkanya, alifuna ebirungi.

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He shall maintain his cause in judgment,

6 Omutuukirivu talinyeenyezebwa, era anajjukirwanga ennaku zonna.

for he shall never be moved. A righteous man shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

7 Amawulire amabi tegaamutiisenga, kubanga omutima gwe munywevu gwesiga Mukama.

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings. His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.

8 Omutima gwe guteredde, tewali ky’anaatyanga, era oluvannyuma alitunuulira abalabe be n’amaaso ag’obuwanguzi.

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, even until he looks over his adversaries.

9 Agabidde abaavu bye beetaaga; mutuukirivu ebbanga lyonna; era bonna banaamussangamu ekitiibwa.

He has scattered, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn shall be exalted with honor.

10 Omubi anaabirabanga ebyo, n’asunguwala, n’aluma abugigi, naye nga talina kya kukola. Okwegomba kw’ababi tekuubengako kye kubagasa.

A wicked man shall see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of wicked men shall perish.
