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 Musician, a Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2 Omuwadde omutima gwe bye gwetaaga, era buli ky’asabye n’akamwa ke tokimummye.
Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withheld 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 thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness: thou hast set a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 Yakusaba obulamu, era n’obumuwa, ennaku ennyingi ez’emirembe n’emirembe.
He asked life of thee, [and] thou gavest [it] to him, [even] length of days for ever and ever.
5 Obuwanguzi bwe wamuwa bumuleetedde ekitiibwa kinene. Omuwadde ekitiibwa n’oyatiikirira.
His glory [is] great in thy salvation: honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
6 Ddala omuwadde emikisa gyo egy’olubeerera, n’omujjuza essanyu ng’oli naye buli kiseera.
For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
7 Kubanga kabaka yeesiga Mukama, era olw’okwagala okutaggwaawo okw’oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo, kabaka tagenda kunyeenyezebwa.
For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8 Omukono gwo guliwamba abalabe bo bonna; omukono gwo ogwa ddyo gulikwata abo abakukyawa.
Thy hand shall find out all thy enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
9 Bw’olirabika, Ayi Mukama, olibasiriiza n’omuliro ng’ogw’omu kyoto ekyengeredde. Mukama, ng’ajjudde obusungu, alibamira bonna, era alibamalirawo ddala.
Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thy anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10 Olizikiriza ezzadde lyabwe ku nsi, n’abaana baabwe bonna n’obamalawo mu baana b’abantu.
Their fruit shalt thou destroy 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 they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, [which] they are not able [to perform].
12 Balikyuka ne bakudduka bwe baliraba ng’obaleezeemu omutego gwo ogw’obusaale.
Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, [when] thou shalt make ready [thy arrows] upon thy strings against the face of them.
13 Ogulumizibwenga, Ayi Mukama, mu maanyi go. Tunaayimbanga nga tutendereza obuyinza bwo.
Be thou exalted, LORD, in thy own strength: [so] will we sing and praise thy power.
