Zabbuli 112

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

Praise the Lord! Happy are those who respect the Lord, who love to do what he says!

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

Their descendants will prosper in the land; the children of those who do good will be blessed.

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

Their families will be wealthy; the good they do has eternal results.

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

Light shines in the darkness for those who live right, for those who are gracious, compassionate, and good.

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

Good things come to those who are generous in their lending and are honest in doing business.

6 Omutuukirivu talinyeenyezebwa, era anajjukirwanga ennaku zonna.

They will never fall. Those who live right won't be forgotten.

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

They aren't afraid of bad news because they rely totally on the Lord.

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

They are confident and brave, and see their enemies defeated.

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

They share generously, giving to the poor; the good they do has eternal results. They are greatly respected.

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

The wicked observe all this and are mad; they gnash their teeth in anger. They waste away, and all that they hoped for comes to nothing.
