< Zabbuli 21 >

1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Mukama, kabaka ajaguliza mu maanyi go. Obuwanguzi bw’omuwadde nga bumuleetedde essanyu lingi!
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength. How greatly he exults in Your salvation!
2 Omuwadde omutima gwe bye gwetaaga, era buli ky’asabye n’akamwa ke tokimummye.
You have granted his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.
3 Ddala ddala wamwaniriza n’emikisa gyo egijjudde ebirungi, n’omutikkira engule eya zaabu omuka ennyo ku mutwe gwe.
For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.
4 Yakusaba obulamu, era n’obumuwa, ennaku ennyingi ez’emirembe n’emirembe.
He asked You for life, and You granted it— length of days, forever and ever.
5 Obuwanguzi bwe wamuwa bumuleetedde ekitiibwa kinene. Omuwadde ekitiibwa n’oyatiikirira.
Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty.
6 Ddala omuwadde emikisa gyo egy’olubeerera, n’omujjuza essanyu ng’oli naye buli kiseera.
For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence.
7 Kubanga kabaka yeesiga Mukama, era olw’okwagala okutaggwaawo okw’oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo, kabaka tagenda kunyeenyezebwa.
For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken.
8 Omukono gwo guliwamba abalabe bo bonna; omukono gwo ogwa ddyo gulikwata abo abakukyawa.
Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You.
9 Bw’olirabika, Ayi Mukama, olibasiriiza n’omuliro ng’ogw’omu kyoto ekyengeredde. Mukama, ng’ajjudde obusungu, alibamira bonna, era alibamalirawo ddala.
You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume them.
10 Olizikiriza ezzadde lyabwe ku nsi, n’abaana baabwe bonna n’obamalawo mu baana b’abantu.
You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men.
11 Newaakubadde nga bakusalira enkwe, ne bateekateeka ebikolwa ebibi, kyokka tewali kye basobola kutuukiriza.
Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail.
12 Balikyuka ne bakudduka bwe baliraba ng’obaleezeemu omutego gwo ogw’obusaale.
For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them.
13 Ogulumizibwenga, Ayi Mukama, mu maanyi go. Tunaayimbanga nga tutendereza obuyinza bwo.
Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.
