Zabbuli 118
1 Mwebaze Mukama, kubanga mulungi; okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna.
'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'
2 Kale Isirayiri ayogere nti, “Okwagala kwa Mukama kubeerera emirembe gyonna.”
So let Israel now say, for His mercy endureth for ever,
3 N’ab’ennyumba ya Alooni boogere nti, “Okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna.”
So let the house of Aaron now say, for His mercy endureth for ever.
4 Abo abatya Mukama boogere nti, “Okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna.”
So let them now that fear the LORD say, for His mercy endureth for ever.
5 Bwe nnali mu nnaku empitirivu, nakoowoola Mukama, n’annyanukula, n’agimponya.
Out of my straits I called upon the LORD; He answered me with great enlargement.
6 Mukama ali ku ludda lwange, siriiko kye ntya. Abantu bayinza kunkolako ki?
The LORD is for me; I will not fear; what can man do unto me?
7 Mukama ali nange, ye anyamba. Abalabe bange nnaabatunuuliranga n’amaaso ag’obuwanguzi.
The LORD is for me as my helper; and I shall gaze upon them that hate me.
8 Kirungi okwesiga Mukama okusinga okwesiga omuntu.
It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.
9 Kirungi okuddukira eri Mukama okusinga okwesiga abalangira.
It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.
10 Ensi zonna zanzinda ne zinneebungulula, naye mu linnya lya Mukama naziwangula.
All nations compass me about; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.
11 Banneebungulula enjuuyi zonna; naye mu linnya lya Mukama nabawangula.
They compass me about, yea, they compass me about; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.
12 Bankuŋŋaanirako ne banneebungulula ng’enjuki; naye ne basirikka ng’amaggwa agakutte omuliro; mu linnya lya Mukama nabawangula.
They compass me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.
13 Bannumba n’amaanyi mangi, ne mbulako katono okugwa; naye Mukama n’annyamba.
Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; but the LORD helped me.
14 Mukama ge maanyi gange, era lwe luyimba lwange, afuuse obulokozi bwange.
The LORD is my strength and song; and He is become my salvation.
15 Muwulire ennyimba ez’essanyu ez’obuwanguzi, nga ziyimbirwa mu weema z’abatuukirivu nti, “Omukono gwa Mukama ogwa ddyo gutukoledde ebikulu!
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
16 Omukono gwa Mukama ogwa ddyo gugulumizibbwa; omukono gwa Mukama ogwa ddyo gutukoledde ebikulu!”
The right hand of the LORD is exalted; the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
17 Sijja kufa, wabula nzija kuba mulamu, ndyoke ntegeeze ebyo byonna Mukama by’akoze.
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
18 Mukama ambonerezza nnyo, naye tandese kufa.
The LORD hath chastened me sore; but He hath not given me over unto death.
19 Munzigulirewo emiryango egy’obutuukirivu, nnyingire, neebaze Mukama.
Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto the LORD.
20 Guno gwe mulyango omunene ogwa Mukama, abatuukirivu mmwe banaayingiriranga.
This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter into it.
21 Nkwebaza kubanga onnyanukudde n’ofuuka obulokozi bwange.
I will give thanks unto Thee, for Thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.
22 Ejjinja abazimbi lye baagaana lye lifuuse ejjinja ekkulu ery’oku nsonda.
The stone which the builders rejected is become the chief corner-stone.
23 Kino Mukama ye yakikola; era ffe tukiraba nga kya kitalo mu maaso gaffe.
This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24 Luno lwe lunaku Mukama lw’akoze; tusanyuke tulujagulizeeko.
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Ayi Mukama tukwegayiridde, tulokole, Ayi Mukama tukwegayiridde otuwe obuwanguzi.
We beseech Thee, O LORD, save now! We beseech Thee, O LORD, make us now to prosper!
26 Alina omukisa oyo ajja mu linnya lya Mukama. Tubasabidde omukisa nga tuli mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD; we bless you out of the house of the LORD.
27 Mukama ye Katonda, y’atwakiza omusana. Mukumbire wamu nga mukutte amatabi mu ngalo zammwe n’ekiweebwayo kyammwe kituukire ddala ku mayembe g’ekyoto.
The LORD is God, and hath given us light; order the festival procession with boughs, even unto the horns of the altar.
28 Ggwe Katonda wange, nnaakwebazanga; ggwe Katonda wange, nange nnaakugulumizanga.
Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto Thee; Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee.
29 Mwebaze Mukama kubanga mulungi, n’okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna.
O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.
