Zabbuli 13

1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Olinneerabira kutuusa ddi, Ayi Mukama? Okutuusa emirembe gyonna? Olikomya ddi okunkweka amaaso go?

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 Okulumwa mu mmeeme yange kulikoma ddi, n’okunyolwa okwa buli lunaku mu mutima gwange kuliggwaamu ddi? Abalabe bange balikomya ddi okumpangulanga nga beegulumiza?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, with sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 Onnyanukule, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange; onzizeemu amaanyi nneme okufa.

Consider, answer me, O Jehovah my God! lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

4 Si kulwa ng’omulabe wange yeewaana nti, “Mmuwangudde;” abalabe bange ne bajaguza nga ngudde.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him! [lest] mine adversaries be joyful when I am moved.

5 Naye nze neesiga okwagala kwo okutajjulukuka; era omutima gwange gunaasanyukiranga mu bulokozi bwo.

As for me, I have confided in thy loving-kindness; my heart shall be joyful in thy salvation.

6 Nnaayimbiranga Mukama, kubanga ankoledde ebirungi.

I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath dealt bountifully with me.
