Zabbuli 2
1 Lwaki amawanga geegugunga n’abantu ne bateganira obwereere okusala enkwe?
Why this turmoil of nations, this futile plotting of peoples,
2 Bakabaka ab’ensi bakuŋŋaanye, n’abafuzi ne bateeseza wamu ku Mukama ne ku Kristo we, nga bagamba nti,
with kings of the earth conspiring, and rulers consulting together, against the Lord and against his anointed,
3 “Ka tukutule enjegere zaabwe, era tweyambulemu ekikoligo kyabwe.”
to snap their bonds and fling their cords away?
4 Naye Katonda oyo atuula mu ggulu, abasekerera busekerezi, n’enkwe zaabwe ezitaliimu zimusesa.
He whose throne is in heaven laughs, the Lord mocks them.
5 N’alyoka abanenya ng’ajjudde obusungu, n’abatiisa nnyo ng’aswakidde.
Then he speaks to them in his wrath, and in his hot anger confounds them.
6 N’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala nateekawo kabaka owange ku lusozi lwange Sayuuni olutukuvu.”
“This my king is installed by me, on 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 Lord’s decree. He said to me: “You are my son, this day I became your father.
8 Nsaba, nange ndikuwa amawanga gonna okuba obusika bwo, era n’ensi yonna gy’ekoma okuba amatwale go.
Only ask, and I make you the heir of the nations, and lord of the world to its utmost bounds.
9 Olibafugisa omuggo ogw’ekyuma, era olibabetenta ng’entamu y’omubumbi.”
You will break them with sceptre of iron, shatter them like pottery.”
10 Kale nno mubeere n’amagezi mmwe bakabaka; muyige okulabulwa mmwe abafuzi b’ensi.
So now, you kings, be wise: be warned, you rulers of earth.
11 Muweereze Mukama nga mumutya, era musanyuke n’okukankana.
Serve the Lord in awe, kiss his feet 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.
lest, angry, he hurl you to ruin; for soon will his fury blaze. Happy all who take refuge in him.
