Zabbuli 13

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

How long wilt thou forget me, O YHWH? 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, having 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 and hear me, O YHWH my Elohim: 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; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

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

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 Nnaayimbiranga Mukama, kubanga ankoledde ebirungi.

I will sing unto YHWH, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
