Zabbuli 13

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

For the leader. A psalm of David. How long, Lord, will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your 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 must I nurse grief inside me, and in my heart a daily sorrow? How long are my foes to exult over me?

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

Look at me, answer me, Lord my God. Fill my eyes with your light, lest I sleep in death,

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

lest my enemies claim to have triumphed, lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.

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

But I trust in your kindness: my heart will rejoice in your help.

6 Nnaayimbiranga Mukama, kubanga ankoledde ebirungi.

I will sing to the Lord who was good to me.
