Zabbuli 20

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

To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

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

He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

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

He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. (Selah)

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

He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

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

We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

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 have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

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

Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

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

They — they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

9 Ayi Mukama, lokola kabaka, otwanukule bwe tukukoowoola.

O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!
