Zabbuli 31
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Mukama, ggwe kiddukiro kyange, leka nneme kuswazibwa. Ndokola mu butuukirivu bwo.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. In thee, O Lord, haue I put my trust: let mee neuer be confounded: deliuer me in thy righteousnesse.
2 Ontegere okutu kwo oyanguwe okunziruukirira. Beera ekiddukiro kyange eky’olwazi era ekigo eky’amaanyi eky’okumponya.
Bowe downe thine eare to me: make haste to deliuer mee: be vnto me a stronge rocke, and an house of defence to saue me.
3 Nga bw’oli olwazi lwange era ekigo kyange; olw’erinnya lyo onkulembebere era onnuŋŋamye.
For thou art my rocke and my fortresse: therefore for thy Names sake direct mee and guide me.
4 Omponye mu mutego gwe banteze; kubanga ggwe kiddukiro kyange.
Drawe mee out of the nette, that they haue layde priuilie for mee: for thou art my strength.
5 Nteeka omwoyo gwange mu mikono gyo; ondokole, Ayi Mukama, Katonda ow’amazima.
Into thine hand I commend my spirit: for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of trueth.
6 Nkyawa abo abeesiga bakatonda abalala; nze nneesiga Mukama.
I haue hated them that giue them selues to deceitfull vanities: for I trust in the Lord.
7 Nnaajaguzanga ne nsanyukira mu kwagala kwo, kubanga olabye okubonaabona kwange era omanyi ennaku endi ku mwoyo.
I wil be glad and reioyce in thy mercie: for thou hast seene my trouble: thou hast knowen my soule in aduersities,
8 Tompaddeeyo mu balabe bange, naye otadde ebigere byange mu kifo ekigazi.
And thou hast not shut me vp in the hand of the enemie, but hast set my feete at large.
9 Onsaasire, Ayi Mukama, kubanga ndi mu nnaku nnyingi; amaaso gange gakooye olw’ennaku; omwoyo gwange n’omubiri gwange nabyo binafuye olw’obuyinike.
Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: for I am in trouble: mine eye, my soule and my bellie are consumed with griefe.
10 Obulamu bwange buweddewo olw’obunaku n’emyaka gyange ne giggwaawo olw’okusinda. Amaanyi gampweddemu olw’okwonoona kwange, n’amagumba ganafuye.
For my life is wasted with heauinesse, and my yeeres with mourning: my strength faileth for my paine, and my bones are consumed.
11 Abalabe bange bonna bansekerera, banneetamiddwa. Nfuuse ekyenyinyalwa mu mikwano gyange, n’abandaba mu kkubo banziruka.
I was a reproch among all mine enemies, but specially among my neighbours: and a feare to mine acquaintance, who seeing me in the streete, fled from me.
12 Nneerabiddwa ng’eyafa edda; nfuuse ng’ekibumbe ekyatifu.
I am forgotten, as a dead man out of minde: I am like a broken vessell.
13 Buli ludda mpulirayo obwama nga bangeya; bye banteesaako nga basala olukwe okunzita.
For I haue heard the rayling of great men: feare was on euery side, while they conspired together against mee, and consulted to take my life.
14 Naye nneesiga ggwe, Ayi Mukama; nga njogera nti, “Oli Katonda wange.”
But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
15 Entuuko zange ziri mu mikono gyo; ondokole mu mikono gy’abalabe bange n’abangigganya.
My times are in thine hande: deliuer mee from the hande of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16 Amaaso go ogatunuulize omuweereza wo; ondokole n’okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo.
Make thy face to shine vpon thy seruant, and saue me through thy mercie.
17 Ayi Mukama tondeka kuswazibwa, kubanga nkukoowoola; leka abo ababi baswale, era bagalamire emagombe nga basirise. (Sheol h7585)
Let me not be confounded, O Lord: for I haue called vpon thee: let the wicked bee put to confusion, and to silence in the graue. (Sheol h7585)
18 Akamwa kaabwe akayogera eby’obulimba kasirisibwe, kubanga boogera ebitaliimu ku batuukirivu bo, nga babyogeza amalala n’okunyooma.
Let the lying lips be made dumme, which cruelly, proudly and spitefully speake against the righteous.
19 Obulungi bwo, bwe waterekera abo abakutya nga buyitirivu, n’obuwa mu lwatu abo abaddukira gy’oli.
Howe great is thy goodnesse, which thou hast layde vp for them, that feare thee! and done to them, that trust in thee, euen before the sonnes of men!
20 Obalabirira n’obawonya enkwe z’abalabe baabwe, n’obakuuma bulungi mu nnyumba yo, n’ennyombo z’abantu ne zitabatuukako.
Thou doest hide them priuily in thy presence from the pride of men: thou keepest them secretly in thy Tabernacle from the strife of tongues.
21 Mukama atenderezebwenga kubanga yandaga okwagala kwe okungi, bwe nnali mu kibuga kye baali bazingizza.
Blessed be the Lord: for hee hath shewed his marueilous kindenesse toward me in a strong citie.
22 Bwe natya ennyo ne njogera nti, “Ngobeddwa mu maaso go.” Kyokka wampulira nga nkukaabirira n’onsaasira.
Though I said in mine haste, I am cast out of thy sight, yet thou heardest the voyce of my prayer, when I cryed vnto thee.
23 Mwagalenga Mukama abatukuvu be mwenna! Mukama akuuma abo abamwesiga, naye ab’amalala ababonereza mu bujjuvu.
Loue ye the Lord all his Saintes: for the Lord preserueth the faithfull, and rewardeth abundantly the proud doer.
24 Muddeemu amaanyi mugume omwoyo mmwe mwenna abalina essuubi mu Mukama.
All ye that trust in the Lord, be strong, and he shall establish your heart.
