Zabbuli 112

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

Hallelujah. Happy are those who fear the Lord, and greatly delight in his commandments.

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

Mighty on earth shall be their seed; a blessing shall rest on the race of the upright.

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

Wealth and riches are in their houses, their prosperity stands forever.

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

To the upright arises light in the darkness; full of favour and pity and kindness are they.

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

It is well with those who show pity and lend, who support all their affairs upon justice.

6 Omutuukirivu talinyeenyezebwa, era anajjukirwanga ennaku zonna.

For they will never be shaken; the just will be forever remembered.

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

They will not be afraid of evil tidings, with steady heart they trust the Lord.

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

Their heart is firm and unafraid: they know they will feast their eyes on their enemies.

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

With lavish hands they give to the poor, and their prosperity stands forever. They are lifted to heights of triumph and honour.

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

The sight of them fills the wicked with anger: grinding their teeth with despair. The hopes of the wicked will come to nothing.
