Zabbuli 112

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

Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.

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

His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

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

Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.

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

To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

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

The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment.

6 Omutuukirivu talinyeenyezebwa, era anajjukirwanga ennaku zonna.

For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

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

He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.

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

His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies.

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

He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

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

The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.
