Zabbuli 132
1 Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Ayi Mukama jjukira Dawudi n’okubonaabona kwe yagumiikiriza kwonna.
A song of ascents. O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured,
2 Nga bwe yalayirira Mukama, ne yeeyama eri Katonda Ayinzabyonna, Katonda wa Yakobo,
how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 ng’agamba nti, “Siriyingira mu nnyumba yange, wadde okulinnya ku kitanda kyange.
“I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
4 Sirikkiriza tulo kunkwata newaakubadde okuzibiriza amaaso gange,
I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
5 okutuusa lwe ndimala okufunira Mukama ekifo; ekifo eky’okubeeramu ekya Katonda Ayinzabyonna, Katonda wa Yakobo.”
until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 Laba, twakiwulirako mu Efulasa, ne tukizuula mu nnimiro ya Jaali.
We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
7 Kale tugende mu kifo kye mw’abeera, tumusinzirize awali entebe y’ebigere bye.
Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.
8 Golokoka, Ayi Mukama, ogende mu kifo kyo mw’owummulira; ggwe n’Essanduuko yo ey’Endagaano, eraga obuyinza bwo.
Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.
9 Bakabona bo bambazibwe obutuukirivu, n’abatukuvu bo bayimbe n’essanyu.
May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.
10 Ku lulwe Dawudi omuddu wo, tomugaana oyo gwe wafukako amafuta.
For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.
11 Mukama Katonda yalayirira Dawudi ekirayiro ekitaliggwaawo, era talikivaako. Kubanga yamugamba nti, “Omu ku batabani bo gwe ndituuza ku ntebe yo ey’obwakabaka.
The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.
12 Batabani bo bwe banaakuumanga Endagaano yange n’ebiragiro byange bye nnaabayigirizanga, ne batabani baabwe nabo banaatuulanga ku ntebe yo ey’obwakabaka emirembe gyonna.”
If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”
13 Kubanga Mukama yalonda Sayuuni, nga kye yasiima okutuulangamu, n’agamba nti:
For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:
14 “Kino kye kifo mwe nnaawummuliranga emirembe gyonna; omwo mwe nnaatuulanga nga ndi ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka kubanga nkisiimye.
“This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.
15 Nnaakiwanga omukisa ne nkiwa n’ebirungi, era n’abaavu baamu nnaabakkusanga ebyokulya.
I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 Bakabona baakyo, obulokozi bunaabanga kyambalo kyabwe; n’abatukuvu baakyo banaayimbanga ennyimba ez’essanyu n’essanyu.
I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.
17 “Eyo gye ndyaliza batabani ba Dawudi obuyinza; ne muteekerawo ettabaaza olw’oyo gwe nayiwako amafuta.
There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
18 Abalabe be ndibajjuza ensonyi, naye ye ndimwambaza engule ey’ekitiibwa ekingi.”
I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”
