< Zabbuli 21 >

1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Mukama, kabaka ajaguliza mu maanyi go. Obuwanguzi bw’omuwadde nga bumuleetedde essanyu lingi!
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!
2 Omuwadde omutima gwe bye gwetaaga, era buli ky’asabye n’akamwa ke tokimummye.
You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Ddala ddala wamwaniriza n’emikisa gyo egijjudde ebirungi, n’omutikkira engule eya zaabu omuka ennyo ku mutwe gwe.
For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.
4 Yakusaba obulamu, era n’obumuwa, ennaku ennyingi ez’emirembe n’emirembe.
He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.
5 Obuwanguzi bwe wamuwa bumuleetedde ekitiibwa kinene. Omuwadde ekitiibwa n’oyatiikirira.
His glory is great in your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him.
6 Ddala omuwadde emikisa gyo egy’olubeerera, n’omujjuza essanyu ng’oli naye buli kiseera.
For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.
7 Kubanga kabaka yeesiga Mukama, era olw’okwagala okutaggwaawo okw’oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo, kabaka tagenda kunyeenyezebwa.
For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.
8 Omukono gwo guliwamba abalabe bo bonna; omukono gwo ogwa ddyo gulikwata abo abakukyawa.
Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against 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 make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.
10 Olizikiriza ezzadde lyabwe ku nsi, n’abaana baabwe bonna n’obamalawo mu baana b’abantu.
Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11 Newaakubadde nga bakusalira enkwe, ne bateekateeka ebikolwa ebibi, kyokka tewali kye basobola kutuukiriza.
For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect.
12 Balikyuka ne bakudduka bwe baliraba ng’obaleezeemu omutego gwo ogw’obusaale.
Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.
13 Ogulumizibwenga, Ayi Mukama, mu maanyi go. Tunaayimbanga nga tutendereza obuyinza bwo.
Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.
