Zabbuli 13

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

Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away 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 counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?

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

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

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

Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep in death:

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

Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved:

6 Nnaayimbiranga Mukama, kubanga ankoledde ebirungi.

But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea I will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
