Zabbuli 20

1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Mukama akwanukulenga ng’oli mu buzibu. Erinnya lya Katonda wa Yakobo likukuumenga.

For the end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you.

2 Akuweerezenga obuyambi obuva mu kifo kye ekitukuvu; akudduukirirenga okuva ku lusozi Sayuuni.

Send you help from the sanctuary, and aid you out of Sion.

3 Ajjukirenga ssaddaaka zo zonna z’omuwa, era asiimenga ebiweebwayo byo ebyokebwa.

Remember all your sacrifice, and enrich your whole burnt offering. (Pause)

4 Akuwenga omutima gwo bye gwetaaga, era atuukirizenga by’oteekateeka byonna.

Grant you according to your heart, and fulfill all your desire.

5 Tulijaganya olw’obuwanguzi bwo, ne tuwuuba ebendera zaffe mu linnya lya Katonda waffe. Mukama akuwenga byonna by’omusaba.

We will exult in your salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all your petitions.

6 Kaakano ntegedde nga Mukama awanguza oyo gwe yafukako amafuta, amwanukula ng’amuwa obuwanguzi n’omukono gwe ogwa ddyo, ng’asinziira mu ggulu lye ettukuvu.

Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.

7 Abamu beesiga amagaali, n’abalala beesiga embalaasi, naye ffe twesiga erinnya lya Mukama Katonda waffe.

Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in the name of the Lord our God.

8 Batalantuka ne bagwa wansi ne balemerawo, naye ffe tugolokoka ne tuyimirira nga tuli banywevu.

They are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright.

9 Ayi Mukama, lokola kabaka, otwanukule bwe tukukoowoola.

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon you.
