Zabbuli 2
1 Lwaki amawanga geegugunga n’abantu ne bateganira obwereere okusala enkwe?
Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?
2 Bakabaka ab’ensi bakuŋŋaanye, n’abafuzi ne bateeseza wamu ku Mukama ne ku Kristo we, nga bagamba nti,
The kings of the earth have taken their place, and the rulers are fixed in their purpose, against the Lord, and against the king of his selection, saying,
3 “Ka tukutule enjegere zaabwe, era tweyambulemu ekikoligo kyabwe.”
Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us.
4 Naye Katonda oyo atuula mu ggulu, abasekerera busekerezi, n’enkwe zaabwe ezitaliimu zimusesa.
Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.
5 N’alyoka abanenya ng’ajjudde obusungu, n’abatiisa nnyo ng’aswakidde.
Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled:
6 N’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala nateekawo kabaka owange ku lusozi lwange Sayuuni olutukuvu.”
But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion.
7 Nzija kulangirira ekiragiro kya Mukama: kubanga yaŋŋamba nti, “Ggwe oli Mwana wange, olwa leero nfuuse kitaawo.
I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.
8 Nsaba, nange ndikuwa amawanga gonna okuba obusika bwo, era n’ensi yonna gy’ekoma okuba amatwale go.
Make your request to me, and I will give you the nations for your heritage, and the farthest limits of the earth will be under your hand.
9 Olibafugisa omuggo ogw’ekyuma, era olibabetenta ng’entamu y’omubumbi.”
They will be ruled by you with a rod of iron; they will be broken like a potter's vessel.
10 Kale nno mubeere n’amagezi mmwe bakabaka; muyige okulabulwa mmwe abafuzi b’ensi.
So now be wise, you kings: take his teaching, you judges of the earth.
11 Muweereze Mukama nga mumutya, era musanyuke n’okukankana.
Give worship to the Lord with fear, kissing his feet and giving him honour,
12 Mwanirize Omwana, mumusembeze Mukama aleme okubasunguwalira n’okubazikiriza nga muli mu kkubo lyammwe; kubanga obusungu bwe bubuubuuka mangu. Kyokka bonna abaddukira gy’ali balina omukisa.
For fear that he may be angry, causing destruction to come on you, because he is quickly moved to wrath. Happy are all those who put their faith in him.
