Zabbuli 132
1 Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Ayi Mukama jjukira Dawudi n’okubonaabona kwe yagumiikiriza kwonna.
A Song of degrees. Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;
2 Nga bwe yalayirira Mukama, ne yeeyama eri Katonda Ayinzabyonna, Katonda wa Yakobo,
How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 ng’agamba nti, “Siriyingira mu nnyumba yange, wadde okulinnya ku kitanda kyange.
I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed;
4 Sirikkiriza tulo kunkwata newaakubadde okuzibiriza amaaso gange,
I will not give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eyelids,
5 okutuusa lwe ndimala okufunira Mukama ekifo; ekifo eky’okubeeramu ekya Katonda Ayinzabyonna, Katonda wa Yakobo.”
Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ...
6 Laba, twakiwulirako mu Efulasa, ne tukizuula mu nnimiro ya Jaali.
Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah, we found it in the fields of the wood.
7 Kale tugende mu kifo kye mw’abeera, tumusinzirize awali entebe y’ebigere bye.
Let us go into his habitations, 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, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength.
9 Bakabona bo bambazibwe obutuukirivu, n’abatukuvu bo bayimbe n’essanyu.
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy.
10 Ku lulwe Dawudi omuddu wo, tomugaana oyo gwe wafukako amafuta.
For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thine anointed.
11 Mukama Katonda yalayirira Dawudi ekirayiro ekitaliggwaawo, era talikivaako. Kubanga yamugamba nti, “Omu ku batabani bo gwe ndituuza ku ntebe yo ey’obwakabaka.
Jehovah hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy 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 thy children keep my covenant, and my testimonies which I will teach them, their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.
13 Kubanga Mukama yalonda Sayuuni, nga kye yasiima okutuulangamu, n’agamba nti:
For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling:
14 “Kino kye kifo mwe nnaawummuliranga emirembe gyonna; omwo mwe nnaatuulanga nga ndi ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka kubanga nkisiimye.
This is my rest for ever; here will I dwell, for I have desired it.
15 Nnaakiwanga omukisa ne nkiwa n’ebirungi, era n’abaavu baamu nnaabakkusanga ebyokulya.
I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy ones with bread;
16 Bakabona baakyo, obulokozi bunaabanga kyambalo kyabwe; n’abatukuvu baakyo banaayimbanga ennyimba ez’essanyu n’essanyu.
And I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17 “Eyo gye ndyaliza batabani ba Dawudi obuyinza; ne muteekerawo ettabaaza olw’oyo gwe nayiwako amafuta.
There will I cause the horn of David to bud forth; I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
18 Abalabe be ndibajjuza ensonyi, naye ye ndimwambaza engule ey’ekitiibwa ekingi.”
His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
