Zabbuli 112

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

Praise Yahweh. Blessed is the man who obeys Yahweh, who greatly delights in his commandments.

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

His descendants will be powerful on earth; the descendants of the godly man will be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches are in his house; his righteousness will endure forever.

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

Light shines in the darkness for the godly person; he is gracious, merciful, and just.

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

It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money, who conducts his affairs with honesty.

6 Omutuukirivu talinyeenyezebwa, era anajjukirwanga ennaku zonna.

For he will never be moved; the righteous person will be remembered forever.

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

He does not fear bad news; he is confident, trusting in Yahweh.

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

His heart is tranquil, without fear, until he looks in triumph over his adversaries.

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

He generously gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; he will be exalted with honor.

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

The wicked person will see this and be angry; he will grind his teeth in rage and he will melt away; the desire of the wicked people will perish.
