Zabbuli 14

1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Omusirusiru ayogera mu mutima gwe nti, “Tewali Katonda.” Aboogera bwe batyo boonoonefu, bakola ebitasaana tekuli n’omu ku bo akola kirungi.

To the Chief Musician. David’s. The impious hath said in his heart—There is no God! They have acted corruptly, they have done an abominable deed, there is none that doeth good.

2 Mukama atunuulira abantu bonna mu nsi ng’asinziira mu ggulu, okulaba obanga mulimu mu bo ategeera, era abanoonya Katonda.

Yahweh, out of the heavens, looked down over the sons of men, —to see whether there was one that showed wisdom, enquiring after God: —

3 Naye bonna bakyamye boonoonese; teri akola kirungi, era teri n’omu.

The whole, have turned aside, Together have they become tainted, —There is none that doeth good, not so much as, one!

4 Abo bonna abakola ebibi tebaliyiga? Kubanga basaanyaawo abantu bange ng’abalya emmere; so tebakoowoola Mukama.

Are all the workers of iniquity, without knowledge? devouring my people [as] they devour food! Upon Yahweh, have they not called.

5 Balitya nnyo! Kubanga Katonda abeera wamu n’abatuukirivu.

There have they been in great dread, because, God, is in the circle of the righteous man.

6 Mulemesa entegeka z’omwavu, songa Mukama kye kiddukiro kye.

The purpose of the poor, ye would put to shame, because, Yahweh, is his refuge.

7 Singa obulokozi bwa Isirayiri butuuse mu kiseera kino nga buva mu Sayuuni! Mukama bw’alirokola abantu be, Yakobo alijaguza ne Isirayiri alisanyuka.

Oh that, out of Zion, were granted the salvation of Israel! When Yahweh bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob, shall exult, Israel, be glad.
