< Zabbuli 136 >

1 Mwebaze Mukama kubanga mulungi,
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good.
2 Mwebaze Katonda wa bakatonda bonna,
Give thanks to the God of gods.
3 Mwebaze Mukama w’abafuzi,
Give thanks to the Lord of lords.
4 Oyo yekka akola ebyamagero ebikulu,
He alone does great wonders.
5 Oyo eyakola eggulu mu kutegeera kwe,
By His insight He made the heavens.
6 Oyo eyabamba ensi ku mazzi,
He spread out the earth upon the waters.
7 Oyo eyakola ebyaka ebinene,
He made the great lights—
8 Enjuba yagikola okufuganga emisana,
the sun to rule the day,
9 Omwezi n’emmunyeenye yabikola okufuganga ekiro,
the moon and stars to govern the night.
10 Oyo eyatta ababereberye b’Abamisiri,
He struck down the firstborn of Egypt
11 N’aggya Isirayiri mu Misiri,
and brought Israel out from among them
12 Yabaggyamu n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi gwe yagolola;
with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.
13 Oyo eyayawulamu amazzi g’Ennyanja Emyufu,
He divided the Red Sea in two
14 N’ayisa abaana ba Isirayiri wakati waayo,
and led Israel through the midst,
15 Naye n’asaanyaawo Falaawo n’eggye lye mu Nnyanja Emyufu;
but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea.
16 Oyo eyakulembera abantu be mu ddungu,
He led His people through the wilderness.
17 Ye yafufuggaza bakabaka abaatiikirivu,
He struck down great kings
18 N’atta bakabaka ab’amaanyi,
and slaughtered mighty kings—
19 Ye yatta ne Sikoni, kabaka w’Abamoli,
Sihon king of the Amorites
20 Era ye yatta ne Ogi kabaka wa Basani,
and Og king of Bashan—
21 N’awaayo ensi yaabwe okuba obutaka,
and He gave their land as an inheritance,
22 Okuba obutaka bwa Isirayiri omuddu we,
a heritage to His servant Israel.
23 Oyo eyatujjukira nga tuweddemu ensa,
He remembered us in our low estate
24 N’atuwonya abalabe baffe,
and freed us from our enemies.
25 Oyo awa abantu n’ebiramu byonna ekyokulya,
He gives food to every creature.
26 Kale mwebaze Katonda w’eggulu,
Give thanks to the God of heaven!
