Zabbuli 19
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Eggulu litegeeza ekitiibwa kya Katonda, ebbanga ne litegeeza emirimu gy’emikono gye.
The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows his handiwork.
2 Buli lunaku litegeeza ekitiibwa kye, era liraga amagezi ge buli kiro.
Day to day utters speech, and night to night shows knowledge.
3 Tewali bigambo oba olulimi olwogerwa, era n’eddoboozi lyabyo teriwulikika.
There is no speech nor language in which their voice is not heard.
4 Naye obubaka bwabyo bubunye mu nsi yonna. Mu ggulu omwo Katonda mwe yasimbira enjuba eweema.
Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Evaayo ng’awasa omugole bw’ava mu nju ye, era ng’omuddusi asinga bonna bw’ajjula essanyu ng’agenda mu mpaka.
which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
6 Evaayo ku ludda olumu olw’eggulu, ne yeetooloola okutuuka ku nkomerero yaalyo, era tewali kyekweka bbugumu lyayo.
His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit to the ends of it, and there is nothing hid from the heat of it.
7 Ekiragiro kya Mukama kirimu byonna, era kizzaamu amaanyi mu mwoyo. Etteeka lya Mukama lyesigika, ligeziwaza abatalina magezi.
The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul. The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making a simple man wise.
8 Okuyigiriza kwa Mukama kutuufu, kusanyusa omutima gw’oyo akugondera. Ebiragiro bya Mukama bimulisiza amaaso, bye galaba.
The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart. The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 Okutya Mukama kirungi, era kya mirembe gyonna. Ebiragiro bya Mukama bya bwenkanya, era bya butuukirivu ddala.
The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring forever. The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether.
10 Ebyo byonna bisaana okuyaayaanirwa okusinga zaabu, okusingira ddala zaabu ennungi ennyo. Biwoomerera okusinga omubisi gw’enjuki, okusukkirira omubisi gw’enjuki ogutonnya nga guva mu bisenge byagwo.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold. Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.
11 Ebyo bye birabula omuddu wo, era mu kubigondera muvaamu empeera ennene.
Moreover by them thy servant is warned. In keeping them there is great reward.
12 Ani asobola okulaba ebyonoono bye? Onsonyiwe, Ayi Mukama, ebibi ebinkisiddwa.
Who can discern his errors? Clear thou me from hidden faults.
13 Era omuddu wo omuwonye okukola ebibi ebigenderere, bireme kunfuga. Bwe ntyo mbeere ng’ataliiko kyakunenyezebwa nneme okuzza omusango omunene ogw’ekibi.
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be upright, and I shall be clear from great transgression.
14 Nsaba ebigambo by’omu kamwa kange, n’okulowooza okw’omu mutima gwange, bisiimibwe mu maaso go, Ayi Mukama, Olwazi lwange, era Omununuzi wange.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
