Zabbuli 135
1 Mutendereze Mukama. Mutendereze erinnya lya Mukama. Mumutendereze mmwe abaddu ba Mukama;
Hallelujah. Praise ye the name of the LORD; give praise, O ye servants of the LORD,
2 mmwe abaweereza mu nnyumba ya Mukama, mu mpya z’ennyumba ya Katonda waffe.
Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Mutendereze Mukama, kubanga Mukama mulungi; mutendereze erinnya lye kubanga ekyo kisanyusa.
Praise ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing praises unto His name, for it is pleasant.
4 Kubanga Mukama yeerondera Yakobo okuba owuwe; ye Isirayiri gwe yeeroboza okuba eky’omuwendo.
For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto Himself, and Israel for His own treasure.
5 Mmanyi nga Mukama mukulu wa kitiibwa, era nga Mukama oyo y’asinga bakatonda bonna.
For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Mukama kyonna ky’asiima ky’akola, mu ggulu ne ku nsi; mu nnyanja ne mu buziba bwayo.
Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that hath He done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
7 Alagira ebire ne byekuluumulula okuva ku nkomerero y’ensi; atonnyesa enkuba erimu okumyansa, n’asumulula empewo okuva mu mawanika ge.
Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth forth the wind out of His treasuries.
8 Ye yakuba ababereberye ab’e Misiri; ababereberye b’abantu n’ebibereberye by’ebisolo.
Who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and beast.
9 Ye yaweereza obubonero n’ebyewuunyo wakati wo, ggwe Misiri, eri Falaawo n’abaweereza be bonna.
He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10 Ye yakuba amawanga amangi, n’atta bakabaka ab’amaanyi era be bano,
Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:
11 Sikoni kabaka w’Abamoli, ne Ogi kabaka w’e Basani ne bakabaka bonna ab’e Kanani.
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 Ensi yaabwe n’agiwaayo ng’obusika, okuba obusika bw’abantu be Isirayiri.
And gave their land for a heritage, a heritage unto Israel His people.
13 Ayi Mukama, erinnya lyo lya lubeerera, era n’obukulu bwo bumanyibwa emirembe gyonna.
O LORD, Thy name endureth for ever; thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
14 Kubanga Katonda aliggyako abantu be omusango, era alisaasira abaweereza be.
For the LORD will judge His people, and repent Himself for His servants.
15 Abamawanga ebifaananyi byonna ebyole bye basinza, ebyakolebwa n’emikono gy’abantu mu ffeeza ne zaabu,
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16 birina emimwa, naye tebyogera; birina amaaso, naye tebiraba;
They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17 birina amatu naye tebiwulira; so ne mu kamwa kaabyo temuyitamu mukka.
They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Ababikola balibifaanana; na buli abyesiga alibifaanana.
They that make them shall be like unto them; yea, every one that trusteth in them.
19 Ayi ennyumba ya Isirayiri mutendereze Mukama; mmwe ennyumba ya Alooni mutendereze Mukama.
O house of Israel, bless ye the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless ye the LORD;
20 Mmwe ennyumba ya Leevi mutendereze Mukama; mmwe abatya Mukama mutendereze Mukama.
O house of Levi, bless ye the LORD; ye that fear the LORD, bless ye the LORD.
21 Mukama ali mu Sayuuni yeebazibwe; yeebazibwe oyo abeera mu Yerusaalemi. Mutendereze Mukama.
Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
