Zabbuli 146

1 Tendereza Mukama! Tendereza Mukama ggwe emmeeme yange!

Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

2 Nnaatenderezanga Mukama ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwange; nnaayimbanga okutendereza Katonda wange nga nkyali mulamu.

As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.

3 Teweesiganga bafuzi, wadde abantu obuntu omutali buyambi.

Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

4 Kubanga bafa ne bakka emagombe; ne ku lunaku olwo lwennyini, byonna bye baba bateeseteese ne bifa.

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.

5 Yeesiimye oyo ayambibwa Katonda wa Yakobo; ng’essuubi lye liri mu Mukama Katonda we,

Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,

6 eyakola eggulu n’ensi n’ennyanja ne byonna ebirimu, era omwesigwa emirembe gyonna.

Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

7 Atereeza ensonga z’abajoogebwa mu bwenkanya, n’abalumwa enjala abawa ebyokulya. Mukama asumulula abasibe.

Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

8 Mukama azibula amaaso ga bamuzibe, era awanirira abazitoowereddwa. Mukama ayagala abatuukirivu.

Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

9 Mukama alabirira bannamawanga, era ayamba bamulekwa ne bannamwandu; naye ekkubo ly’abakola ebibi alifaafaaganya.

Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

10 Mukama anaafuganga emirembe gyonna, Katonda wo, Ayi Sayuuni, anaabanga Katonda wa buli mulembe. Mutendereze Mukama!

Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!
