Zabbuli 147
1 Mutendereze Mukama! Kubanga kirungi okutenderezanga Katonda waffe; kubanga ajjudde ekisa, n’oluyimba olw’okumutenderezanga lumusaanira.
Praise Yah: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2 Mukama azimba Yerusaalemi; era akuŋŋaanya Abayisirayiri abaali mu buwaŋŋanguse.
Yhwh doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
3 Azzaamu amaanyi abo abalina emitima egimenyese, era ajjanjaba ebiwundu byabwe.
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4 Mukama ategeka omuwendo gw’emmunyeenye; era buli emu n’agituuma erinnya.
He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
5 Mukama waffe mukulu era wa kitiibwa; amaanyi g’obuyinza bwe tegatendeka, n’okutegeera kwe tekuliiko kkomo.
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6 Mukama awanirira abawombeefu, naye abakola ebibi abasuulira ddala wansi.
Yhwh lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
7 Muyimbire Mukama ennyimba ez’okumwebaza; mumukubire entongooli ezivuga obulungi.
Sing unto Yhwh with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 Mukama abikka eggulu n’ebire, ensi agitonnyeseza enkuba, n’ameza omuddo ne gukula ku nsozi.
Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
9 Ente aziwa emmere, ne bannamuŋŋoona abato abakaaba abaliisa.
He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
10 Essanyu lya Mukama teriri mu maanyi ga mbalaasi, wadde mu magulu g’omuntu,
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 wabula Mukama asanyukira abo abamussaamu ekitiibwa, era abalina essuubi mu kwagala kwe okutaggwaawo.
Yhwh taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12 Tendereza Mukama ggwe Yerusaalemi, tendereza Katonda wo ggwe Sayuuni,
Praise Yhwh, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
13 kubanga ebisiba enzigi zo, ye abinyweza, n’abantu bo abasulamu n’abawa omukisa.
For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
14 Aleeta emirembe ku nsalo zo; n’akukkusa eŋŋaano esinga obulungi.
He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
15 Aweereza ekiragiro kye ku nsi; ekigambo kye ne kibuna mangu.
He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
16 Ayaliira omuzira ku ttaka ne gutukula ng’ebyoya by’endiga enjeru, n’omusulo ogukutte n’agusaasaanya ng’evvu.
He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
17 Omuzira agukanyuga ng’obuyinjayinja; bw’aleeta obutiti ani ayinza okubusobola?
He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
18 Mukama aweereza ekigambo kye, omuzira ne gusaanuuka; n’akunsa empewo, amazzi ne gakulukuta.
He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19 Yategeeza Yakobo ekigambo kye; Isirayiri n’amanya amateeka ga Mukama n’ebiragiro bye.
He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
20 Tewali ggwanga na limu lye yali akolaganye nalyo bw’atyo; amawanga amalala tegamanyi mateeka ge. Mutendereze Mukama!
He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Hallelu jah.
