Zabbuli 112

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

Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth 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.

Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

6 Omutuukirivu talinyeenyezebwa, era anajjukirwanga ennaku zonna.

Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

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

Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

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

Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

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

He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

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

The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.
