Zabbuli 132
1 Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Ayi Mukama jjukira Dawudi n’okubonaabona kwe yagumiikiriza kwonna.
“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” O LORD! remember David, And all his affliction!
2 Nga bwe yalayirira Mukama, ne yeeyama eri Katonda Ayinzabyonna, Katonda wa Yakobo,
How he sware to Jehovah, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 ng’agamba nti, “Siriyingira mu nnyumba yange, wadde okulinnya ku kitanda kyange.
“I will not go into my house, Nor lie down on my bed,
4 Sirikkiriza tulo kunkwata newaakubadde okuzibiriza amaaso gange,
I will not give sleep to my eyes, Nor 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 Jehovah, A habitation 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 forest.
7 Kale tugende mu kifo kye mw’abeera, tumusinzirize awali entebe y’ebigere bye.
Let us go into his habitation; 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! 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 thy holy ones shout for joy!
10 Ku lulwe Dawudi omuddu wo, tomugaana oyo gwe wafukako amafuta.
For the sake of thy servant David, Reject not the prayer 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, And he will not depart from it: “Of the fruit of thy body will I place upon the throne for thee.
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 statutes, which I teach them, Their children also throughout all ages 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 as his dwelling-place.
14 “Kino kye kifo mwe nnaawummuliranga emirembe gyonna; omwo mwe nnaatuulanga nga ndi ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka kubanga nkisiimye.
“This is my resting-place for ever; Here will I dwell, for I have chosen it.
15 Nnaakiwanga omukisa ne nkiwa n’ebirungi, era n’abaavu baamu nnaabakkusanga ebyokulya.
I will abundantly bless her provision; 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 also clothe her priests with salvation, And her holy ones 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 to spring forth a horn for David; I have prepared a light for mine anointed.
18 Abalabe be ndibajjuza ensonyi, naye ye ndimwambaza engule ey’ekitiibwa ekingi.”
His enemies will I clothe with shame, And the crown shall glitter upon his head.”
