Zabbuli 112

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

Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

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

Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

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

Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

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

Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

6 Omutuukirivu talinyeenyezebwa, era anajjukirwanga ennaku zonna.

For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

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

Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

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

Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

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

He hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

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

The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
