Zabbuli 116
1 Mukama mmwagala, kubanga awulidde eddoboozi lyange n’okwegayirira kwange.
I LOVE the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2 Kubanga ateze okutu kwe gye ndi, kyennaavanga mmukoowoola ebbanga lyonna lye ndimala nga nkyali mulamu.
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call [upon him] as long as I live.
3 Emiguwa gy’okufa gyansiba, n’okulumwa okw’emagombe kwankwata; ne nzijula ennaku nnyingi n’okutya. (Sheol h7585)
The cords of death compassed me, and the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
4 Ne ndyoka nkoowoola erinnya lya Mukama nti, “Ayi Mukama, ndokola.”
Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5 Mukama wa kisa, era mutuukirivu; Katonda waffe ajjudde okusaasira.
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6 Mukama alabirira abantu abaabulijjo; bwe nnali mu buzibu obunene, n’andokola.
The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.
7 Wummula ggwe emmeeme yange, kubanga Mukama abadde mulungi gy’oli.
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8 Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, owonyezza omwoyo gwange okufa, n’amaaso gange ogawonyezza okukaaba; n’ebigere byange n’obiwonya okwesittala,
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, [and] my feet from falling.
9 ndyoke ntambulirenga mu maaso ga Mukama mu nsi ey’abalamu.
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 Nakkiriza kyennava njogera nti, “Numizibbwa nnyo.”
I believe, for I will speak: I was greatly afflicted:
11 Ne njogera nga nterebuse nti, “Abantu bonna baliraba.”
I said in my haste, All men are a lie.
12 Mukama ndimusasula ntya olw’ebirungi bye ebingi bwe bityo by’ankoledde?
What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
13 Nditoola ekikompe eky’obulokozi, ne nkoowoola erinnya lya Mukama.
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
14 Ndituukiriza obweyamo bwange eri Mukama, mu maaso g’abantu be bonna.
I will pay my vows unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all his people.
15 Okufa kw’abatukuvu ba Mukama kwa muwendo nnyo eri Mukama.
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
16 Ayi Mukama, onsumuluddeko ebyansiba n’onfuula wa ddembe, nange nnaakuweerezanga ennaku zonna.
O LORD, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thine handmaid; thou hast loosed my bonds.
17 Ndiwaayo ekiweebwayo eky’okwebaza, ne nkoowoola erinnya lya Mukama.
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
18 Ndituukiriza obweyamo bwange eri Mukama, mu maaso g’abantu be bonna,
I will pay my vows unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all his people.
19 mu mpya z’ennyumba ya Mukama; wakati wo, ggwe Yerusaalemi. Mutendereze Mukama.
In the courts of the LORD’S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
