< Zabbuli 2 >

1 Lwaki amawanga geegugunga n’abantu ne bateganira obwereere okusala enkwe?
Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain?
2 Bakabaka ab’ensi bakuŋŋaanye, n’abafuzi ne bateeseza wamu ku Mukama ne ku Kristo we, nga bagamba nti,
The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His anointed:
3 “Ka tukutule enjegere zaabwe, era tweyambulemu ekikoligo kyabwe.”
'Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.'
4 Naye Katonda oyo atuula mu ggulu, abasekerera busekerezi, n’enkwe zaabwe ezitaliimu zimusesa.
He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, the Lord hath them in derision.
5 N’alyoka abanenya ng’ajjudde obusungu, n’abatiisa nnyo ng’aswakidde.
Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure:
6 N’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala nateekawo kabaka owange ku lusozi lwange Sayuuni olutukuvu.”
'Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.'
7 Nzija kulangirira ekiragiro kya Mukama: kubanga yaŋŋamba nti, “Ggwe oli Mwana wange, olwa leero nfuuse kitaawo.
I will tell of the decree: the LORD said unto me: 'Thou art My son, this day have I begotten thee.
8 Nsaba, nange ndikuwa amawanga gonna okuba obusika bwo, era n’ensi yonna gy’ekoma okuba amatwale go.
Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession.
9 Olibafugisa omuggo ogw’ekyuma, era olibabetenta ng’entamu y’omubumbi.”
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.'
10 Kale nno mubeere n’amagezi mmwe bakabaka; muyige okulabulwa mmwe abafuzi b’ensi.
Now therefore, O ye kings, be wise; be admonished, ye judges of the earth.
11 Muweereze Mukama nga mumutya, era musanyuke n’okukankana.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
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.
Do homage in purity, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, when suddenly His wrath is kindled. Happy are all they that take refuge in Him.
