Zabbuli 146

1 Tendereza Mukama! Tendereza Mukama ggwe emmeeme yange!

Praise YAH! Praise, O my soul, YHWH.

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

I praise YHWH during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

3 Teweesiganga bafuzi, wadde abantu obuntu omutali buyambi.

Do not trust in princes—in a son of man, For he has no deliverance.

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

His spirit goes forth, he returns to his earth, In that day his thoughts have perished.

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

O the blessedness of him Who has the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on his God YHWH,

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

Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth for all time,

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

Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

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

YHWH is loosing the prisoners, YHWH is opening (the eyes of) the blind, YHWH is raising the bowed down, YHWH is loving the righteous,

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

YHWH is preserving the strangers, He causes the fatherless and widow to stand, And He turns the way of the wicked upside down.

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

YHWH reigns for all time, Your God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise YAH!
