Zabbuli 147
1 Mutendereze Mukama! Kubanga kirungi okutenderezanga Katonda waffe; kubanga ajjudde ekisa, n’oluyimba olw’okumutenderezanga lumusaanira.
Praise all of you the LORD: 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.
The LORD does build up Jerusalem: he gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
3 Azzaamu amaanyi abo abalina emitima egimenyese, era ajjanjaba ebiwundu byabwe.
He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
4 Mukama ategeka omuwendo gw’emmunyeenye; era buli emu n’agituuma erinnya.
He tells the number of the stars; he calls 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.
The LORD lifts up the meek: he casts the wicked down to the ground.
7 Muyimbire Mukama ennyimba ez’okumwebaza; mumukubire entongooli ezivuga obulungi.
Sing unto the LORD 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 covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.
9 Ente aziwa emmere, ne bannamuŋŋoona abato abakaaba abaliisa.
He gives 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 delights not in the strength of the horse: he takes not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 wabula Mukama asanyukira abo abamussaamu ekitiibwa, era abalina essuubi mu kwagala kwe okutaggwaawo.
The LORD takes pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12 Tendereza Mukama ggwe Yerusaalemi, tendereza Katonda wo ggwe Sayuuni,
Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion.
13 kubanga ebisiba enzigi zo, ye abinyweza, n’abantu bo abasulamu n’abawa omukisa.
For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.
14 Aleeta emirembe ku nsalo zo; n’akukkusa eŋŋaano esinga obulungi.
He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest of the wheat.
15 Aweereza ekiragiro kye ku nsi; ekigambo kye ne kibuna mangu.
He sends forth his commandment upon earth: his word runs very swiftly.
16 Ayaliira omuzira ku ttaka ne gutukula ng’ebyoya by’endiga enjeru, n’omusulo ogukutte n’agusaasaanya ng’evvu.
He gives snow like wool: he scatters the hoarfrost like ashes.
17 Omuzira agukanyuga ng’obuyinjayinja; bw’aleeta obutiti ani ayinza okubusobola?
He casts 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 sends out his word, and melts them: he causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19 Yategeeza Yakobo ekigambo kye; Isirayiri n’amanya amateeka ga Mukama n’ebiragiro bye.
He shows 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 has not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise all of you the LORD.
