Zabbuli 143
1 Zabbuli Ya Dawudi. Wulira okusaba kwange, Ayi Mukama, wulira okwegayirira kwange! Ggwe omwesigwa era omutuukirivu jjangu ombeere.
A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer, give ear to my supplications; in Thy faithfulness answer me, and in Thy righteousness.
2 Tonsalira musango, kubanga mu maaso go tewali n’omu atuukiridde.
And enter not into judgment with Thy servant; for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3 Omulabe wange angoba n’ankwata n’ansuula wansi; anteeka mu kizikiza ne nfaanana ng’abaafa edda.
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath crushed my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4 Noolwekyo omwoyo gwange guweddemu endasi, n’omutima gwange gwennyise.
And my spirit fainteth within me; my heart within me is appalled.
5 Nzijukira ennaku ez’edda, ne nfumiitiriza ku ebyo bye wakola byonna, ne ndowooza ku mirimu gy’emikono gyo.
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Thy doing; I muse on the work of Thy hands.
6 Ngolola emikono gyange gy’oli, ne nkuyaayaanira ng’ettaka ekkalu bwe liyaayaanira enkuba.
I spread forth my hands unto Thee; my soul thirsteth after Thee, as a weary land. (Selah)
7 Yanguwa okunziramu, Ayi Mukama, kubanga omwoyo gwange guggwaamu amaanyi. Tonkisa maaso go, nneme okufaanana ng’abafu.
Answer me speedily, O LORD, my spirit faileth; hide not Thy face from me; lest I become like them that go down into the pit.
8 Obudde nga bukedde, nsaba ondage okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo; kubanga ggwe gwe neesiga. Njigiriza ekkubo lye nsaana okutambuliramu, kubanga omwoyo gwange gwonna guli gy’oli.
Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning, for in Thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto Thee have I lifted up my soul.
9 Mponya, Ayi Mukama, abalabe bange, kubanga ggwe kiddukiro kyange.
Deliver me from mine enemies, O LORD; with Thee have I hidden myself.
10 Njigiriza okukola by’oyagala, kubanga ggwe Katonda wange! Omwoyo wo omulungi ankulembere, antambulize mu kkubo eddungi ery’omuseetwe.
Teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God; let Thy good spirit lead me in an even land.
11 Olw’erinnya lyo, Ayi Mukama, onkuume, mu butuukirivu bwo onzigye mu kabi.
For Thy name's sake, O LORD, quicken me; in Thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
12 Omalewo abalabe bange olw’okwagala kwo, ozikirize n’abanjigganya bonna, kubanga nze ndi muddu wo.
And in Thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that harass my soul; for I am Thy servant.
