< 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 chief musician. A psalm of David. The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in the salvation you provide!
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 held 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 bring him rich blessings; you placed on his head a crown of purest gold.
4 Yakusaba obulamu, era n’obumuwa, ennaku ennyingi ez’emirembe n’emirembe.
He asked you for life; you gave it to him; you gave him long days forever and ever.
5 Obuwanguzi bwe wamuwa bumuleetedde ekitiibwa kinene. Omuwadde ekitiibwa n’oyatiikirira.
His glory is great because of your victory; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.
6 Ddala omuwadde emikisa gyo egy’olubeerera, n’omujjuza essanyu ng’oli naye buli kiseera.
For you grant him lasting blessings; you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
7 Kubanga kabaka yeesiga Mukama, era olw’okwagala okutaggwaawo okw’oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo, kabaka tagenda kunyeenyezebwa.
For the king trusts in Yahweh; through the covenant faithfulness 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 seize 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.
At the time of your anger, you will burn them up as in a fiery furnace. Yahweh will consume them in his wrath, and the fire will devour them.
10 Olizikiriza ezzadde lyabwe ku nsi, n’abaana baabwe bonna n’obamalawo mu baana b’abantu.
You will destroy their offspring from the earth and their descendants from among the human race.
11 Newaakubadde nga bakusalira enkwe, ne bateekateeka ebikolwa ebibi, kyokka tewali kye basobola kutuukiriza.
For they intended evil against you; they conceived a plot with which they will not succeed!
12 Balikyuka ne bakudduka bwe baliraba ng’obaleezeemu omutego gwo ogw’obusaale.
For you will turn them back; you will draw your bow before them.
13 Ogulumizibwenga, Ayi Mukama, mu maanyi go. Tunaayimbanga nga tutendereza obuyinza bwo.
Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength; we will sing and praise your power.
