Zabbuli 22
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Katonda wange, Katonda wange, lwaki onjabulidde? Lwaki ogaana okunnyamba wadde okuwuliriza okwaziirana kwange?
Unto the end. For the tasks of early morning. A Psalm of David. O God, my God, look upon me. Why have you forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my offenses.
2 Ayi Katonda wange, emisana nkukoowoola, naye tonnyanukula; n’ekiro bwe ntyo, naye siweerako.
My God, I will cry out by day, and you will not heed, and by night, and it will not be foolishness for me.
3 Songa ggwe Mutukuvu atudde ku Ntebe, era ettendo lya Isirayiri yonna.
But you dwell in holiness, O Praise of Israel.
4 Bajjajjaffe baakwesiganga; baakwesiga naawe n’obawonya.
In you, our fathers have hoped. They hoped, and you freed them.
5 Baakukoowoolanga n’obalokola; era baakwesiganga ne batajulirira.
They cried out to you, and they were saved. In you, they hoped and were not confounded.
6 Naye nze ndi lusiriŋŋanyi, siri muntu; abantu bampisaamu amaaso, n’abalala bannyooma.
But I am a worm and not a man: a disgrace among men, and an outcast of the people.
7 Bonna abandaba banduulira, era banvuma nga bwe banyeenyeza omutwe nga bagamba nti,
All those who saw me have derided me. They have spoken with the lips and shook the head.
8 “Yeesiga Mukama; kale amuwonye. Obanga Mukama amwagala, kale nno amulokole!”
He has hoped in the Lord, let him rescue him. Let him save him because he chooses him.
9 Naye ggwe wanziggya mu lubuto lwa mmange, era wampa okukwesiga ne mu buto bwange bwonna nga nkyayonka.
For you are the one who has drawn me out of the womb, my hope from the breasts of my mother.
10 Olwazaalibwa ne nteekebwa mu mikono gyo; olwava mu lubuto lwa mmange n’obeera Katonda wange.
I have been thrown upon you from the womb; from the womb of my mother, you are my God.
11 Tobeera wala nange, kubanga emitawaana ginsemberedde, ate nga tewali mulala n’omu asobola kunnyamba.
Do not depart from me. For tribulation is near, since there is no one who may help me.
12 Zisseddume nnyingi zinneetoolodde, zisseddume enkambwe ez’e Basani zinzingizizza.
Many calves have surrounded me; fat bulls have besieged me.
13 Banjasamiza akamwa kaabwe ng’empologoma bw’ewuluguma ng’etaagulataagula omuyiggo gwayo.
They have opened their mouths over me, just like a lion seizing and roaring.
14 Ngiyiddwa ng’amazzi, n’amagumba gange gasowose mu nnyingo zaago. Omutima gwange guli ng’obubaane, era gusaanuukidde mu mubiri gwange.
And so, I have been poured out like water, and all my bones have been scattered. My heart has become like wax, melting in the midst of my chest.
15 Amaanyi gampweddemu, gakaze ng’oluggyo; n’olulimi lwange lukutte waggulu mu kibuno kyange. Ondese awo mu nfuufu ng’omufu.
My strength has dried up like clay, and my tongue has adhered to my jaws. And you have pulled me down, into the dust of death.
16 Abantu ababi banneetoolodde; banneebunguludde ng’embwa ennyingi; banfumise ne bawummula ebibatu byange n’ebigere byange.
For many dogs have surrounded me. The council of the malicious has besieged me. They have pierced my hands and feet.
17 Amagumba gansowose nnyinza n’okugabala. Abalabe bange bantunuulira nga bannyoomoola.
They have numbered all my bones. And they have examined me and stared at me.
18 Bagabana engoye zange; era ekyambalo kyange bakikubira akalulu.
They divided my garments among them, and over my vestment, they cast lots.
19 Naye ggwe, Ayi Mukama, tobeera wala nange. Ggwe, Amaanyi gange, yanguwa okunnyamba!
But you, O Lord, do not take your help far from me; be attentive to my defense.
20 Omponye okuttibwa n’ekitala; obulamu bwange obw’omuwendo butaase mu maanyi g’embwa!
O God, rescue my soul from the spear, and my only one from the hand of the dog.
21 Nzigya mu kamwa k’empologoma, omponye amayembe g’embogo enkambwe.
Save me from the mouth of the lion, and my humility from the horns of the single-horned beast.
22 Nnaategezanga ku linnya lyo mu booluganda; nnaakutenderezanga mu kibiina ky’abantu.
I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the Church, I will praise you.
23 Mmwe abatya Mukama, mumutenderezenga. Abaana ba Yakobo mwenna mumugulumizenga; era mumussengamu ekitiibwa nga mumutya, mmwe abaana ba Isirayiri mwenna.
You who fear the Lord, praise him. All the offspring of Jacob, glorify him.
24 Kubanga tanyooma kwaziirana kw’abo abali mu nnaku, era tabeekweka, wabula abaanukula bwe bamukoowoola.
May all the offspring of Israel fear him. For he has neither spurned nor despised the pleas of the poor. Neither has he turned his face away from me. And when I cried out to him, he heeded me.
25 Mu ggwe mwe muva ettendo lyange mu kibiina ekinene, ne nkutendereza olw’ebyo by’onkoledde. Obweyamo bwange nnaabutuukirizanga mu maaso gaabo abakutya.
My praise is with you, within a great church. I will pay my vows in the sight of those who fear him.
26 Abaavu banaalyanga ne bakkuta, abo abanoonya Mukama banaamutenderezanga. Emitima gyabwe ginaajaguzanga emirembe gyonna.
The poor will eat and be satisfied, and those who yearn for the Lord will praise him. Their hearts will live forever and ever.
27 Ensi zonna zirijjukira ne zikyukira Mukama, ebika byonna eby’amawanga gonna birimuvuunamira.
All the ends of the earth will remember, and they will be converted to the Lord. And all the families of the Gentiles will adore in his sight.
28 Kubanga obwakabaka bwonna bwa Mukama, era y’afuga amawanga gonna.
For the kingdom belongs to the Lord, and he will have dominion over the Gentiles.
29 Abagagga bonna ab’omu nsi balirya embaga, ne bamusinza. Bonna abagenda mu nfuufu, balimufukaamirira, abatakyali balamu.
All the fat of the earth have gnashed their teeth, and they have adored. In his sight, they will fall down, all those who descend to the ground.
30 Ezadde lyabwe lirimuweereza; abaliddawo balibuulirwa ekigambo kya Mukama.
And my soul will live for him, and my offspring will serve him.
31 N’abo abatannazaalibwa balibuulirwa obutuukirivu bwe nti, “Ekyo yakikoze.”
There will be announced for the Lord a future generation, and the heavens will announce his justice to a people who will be born, whom the Lord has made.
