< Zabbuli 3 >
1 Zabbuli ya Dawudi bwe yadduka mutabani we Abusaalomu. Ayi Mukama, abalabe bange nga beeyongedde obungi! Abanfubutukiddeko okunnumba nga bangi!
The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom. Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.
2 Bangi abanjogerako nti, “Katonda tagenda kumununula.”
Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
3 Naye ggwe, Ayi Mukama, ggwe ngabo yange enkuuma; ggwe kitiibwa kyange, era gw’onzizaamu amaanyi.
But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 Nkoowoola Mukama n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka, n’annyanukula ng’asinziira ku lusozi lwe olutukuvu.
I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
5 Ngalamira ne neebaka, era ne nzuukuka bulungi, kubanga Mukama ye ampanirira.
I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
6 Siityenga enkumi n’enkumi z’abalabe bange abanneetoolodde, okunnumba.
I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
7 Golokoka, Ayi Mukama, ondokole Ayi Katonda wange okube abalabe bange bonna omenye oluba lw’abakola ebibi.
For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
8 Obulokozi buva gy’oli, Ayi Mukama. Emikisa gyo gibeerenga ku bantu bo.
Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
