Zabbuli 31
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Mukama, ggwe kiddukiro kyange, leka nneme kuswazibwa. Ndokola mu butuukirivu bwo.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
2 Ontegere okutu kwo oyanguwe okunziruukirira. Beera ekiddukiro kyange eky’olwazi era ekigo eky’amaanyi eky’okumponya.
Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
3 Nga bw’oli olwazi lwange era ekigo kyange; olw’erinnya lyo onkulembebere era onnuŋŋamye.
For thou [art] my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.
4 Omponye mu mutego gwe banteze; kubanga ggwe kiddukiro kyange.
Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou [art] my strength.
5 Nteeka omwoyo gwange mu mikono gyo; ondokole, Ayi Mukama, Katonda ow’amazima.
Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
6 Nkyawa abo abeesiga bakatonda abalala; nze nneesiga Mukama.
I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
7 Nnaajaguzanga ne nsanyukira mu kwagala kwo, kubanga olabye okubonaabona kwange era omanyi ennaku endi ku mwoyo.
I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
8 Tompaddeeyo mu balabe bange, naye otadde ebigere byange mu kifo ekigazi.
And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.
9 Onsaasire, Ayi Mukama, kubanga ndi mu nnaku nnyingi; amaaso gange gakooye olw’ennaku; omwoyo gwange n’omubiri gwange nabyo binafuye olw’obuyinike.
Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, [yea], my soul and my belly.
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 spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11 Abalabe bange bonna bansekerera, banneetamiddwa. Nfuuse ekyenyinyalwa mu mikwano gyange, n’abandaba mu kkubo banziruka.
I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
12 Nneerabiddwa ng’eyafa edda; nfuuse ng’ekibumbe ekyatifu.
I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
13 Buli ludda mpulirayo obwama nga bangeya; bye banteesaako nga basala olukwe okunzita.
For I have heard the slander of many: fear [was] on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away 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 thy hand: deliver me from the hand 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 upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.
17 Ayi Mukama tondeka kuswazibwa, kubanga nkukoowoola; leka abo ababi baswale, era bagalamire emagombe nga basirise. (Sheol h7585)
Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, [and] let them be silent in the grave. (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 put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19 Obulungi bwo, bwe waterekera abo abakutya nga buyitirivu, n’obuwa mu lwatu abo abaddukira gy’oli.
[Oh] how great [is] thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; [which] thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
20 Obalabirira n’obawonya enkwe z’abalabe baabwe, n’obakuuma bulungi mu nnyumba yo, n’ennyombo z’abantu ne zitabatuukako.
Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion 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 he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
22 Bwe natya ennyo ne njogera nti, “Ngobeddwa mu maaso go.” Kyokka wampulira nga nkukaabirira n’onsaasira.
For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
23 Mwagalenga Mukama abatukuvu be mwenna! Mukama akuuma abo abamwesiga, naye ab’amalala ababonereza mu bujjuvu.
O love the LORD, all ye his saints: [for] the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
24 Muddeemu amaanyi mugume omwoyo mmwe mwenna abalina essuubi mu Mukama.
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
