< Zabbuli 3 >
1 Zabbuli ya Dawudi bwe yadduka mutabani we Abusaalomu. Ayi Mukama, abalabe bange nga beeyongedde obungi! Abanfubutukiddeko okunnumba nga bangi!
Jehovah, how my adversaries are increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
2 Bangi abanjogerako nti, “Katonda tagenda kumununula.”
Many there are who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
3 Naye ggwe, Ayi Mukama, ggwe ngabo yange enkuuma; ggwe kitiibwa kyange, era gw’onzizaamu amaanyi.
But thou, O Jehovah, are a shield about me, my glory and he who lifts up of my head.
4 Nkoowoola Mukama n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka, n’annyanukula ng’asinziira ku lusozi lwe olutukuvu.
I cry to Jehovah with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Ngalamira ne neebaka, era ne nzuukuka bulungi, kubanga Mukama ye ampanirira.
I laid down and slept. I awoke, for Jehovah sustains me.
6 Siityenga enkumi n’enkumi z’abalabe bange abanneetoolodde, okunnumba.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people who have set themselves against me round about.
7 Golokoka, Ayi Mukama, ondokole Ayi Katonda wange okube abalabe bange bonna omenye oluba lw’abakola ebibi.
Arise, O Jehovah. Save me, O my God. For thou have smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone. Thou have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Obulokozi buva gy’oli, Ayi Mukama. Emikisa gyo gibeerenga ku bantu bo.
Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
