< 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 by David. The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! How greatly he rejoices 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 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 you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4 Yakusaba obulamu, era n’obumuwa, ennaku ennyingi ez’emirembe n’emirembe.
He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.
5 Obuwanguzi bwe wamuwa bumuleetedde ekitiibwa kinene. Omuwadde ekitiibwa n’oyatiikirira.
His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honour and majesty on him.
6 Ddala omuwadde emikisa gyo egy’olubeerera, n’omujjuza essanyu ng’oli naye buli kiseera.
For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad 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 kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.
8 Omukono gwo guliwamba abalabe bo bonna; omukono gwo ogwa ddyo gulikwata abo abakukyawa.
Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out 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 make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.
10 Olizikiriza ezzadde lyabwe ku nsi, n’abaana baabwe bonna n’obamalawo mu baana b’abantu.
You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from amongst the children of men.
11 Newaakubadde nga bakusalira enkwe, ne bateekateeka ebikolwa ebibi, kyokka tewali kye basobola kutuukiriza.
For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
12 Balikyuka ne bakudduka bwe baliraba ng’obaleezeemu omutego gwo ogw’obusaale.
For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.
13 Ogulumizibwenga, Ayi Mukama, mu maanyi go. Tunaayimbanga nga tutendereza obuyinza bwo.
Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
