Zabbuli 31
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Mukama, ggwe kiddukiro kyange, leka nneme kuswazibwa. Ndokola mu butuukirivu bwo.
To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me.
2 Ontegere okutu kwo oyanguwe okunziruukirira. Beera ekiddukiro kyange eky’olwazi era ekigo eky’amaanyi eky’okumponya.
Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.
3 Nga bw’oli olwazi lwange era ekigo kyange; olw’erinnya lyo onkulembebere era onnuŋŋamye.
For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou, For Thy name's sake lead me and tend me.
4 Omponye mu mutego gwe banteze; kubanga ggwe kiddukiro kyange.
Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For Thou [art] my strength.
5 Nteeka omwoyo gwange mu mikono gyo; ondokole, Ayi Mukama, Katonda ow’amazima.
Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth.
6 Nkyawa abo abeesiga bakatonda abalala; nze nneesiga Mukama.
I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident.
7 Nnaajaguzanga ne nsanyukira mu kwagala kwo, kubanga olabye okubonaabona kwange era omanyi ennaku endi ku mwoyo.
I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul.
8 Tompaddeeyo mu balabe bange, naye otadde ebigere byange mu kifo ekigazi.
And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place.
9 Onsaasire, Ayi Mukama, kubanga ndi mu nnaku nnyingi; amaaso gange gakooye olw’ennaku; omwoyo gwange n’omubiri gwange nabyo binafuye olw’obuyinike.
Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress [is] to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.
10 Obulamu bwange buweddewo olw’obunaku n’emyaka gyange ne giggwaawo olw’okusinda. Amaanyi gampweddemu olw’okwonoona kwange, n’amagumba ganafuye.
For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.
11 Abalabe bange bonna bansekerera, banneetamiddwa. Nfuuse ekyenyinyalwa mu mikwano gyange, n’abandaba mu kkubo banziruka.
Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without — fled from me.
12 Nneerabiddwa ng’eyafa edda; nfuuse ng’ekibumbe ekyatifu.
I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.
13 Buli ludda mpulirayo obwama nga bangeya; bye banteesaako nga basala olukwe okunzita.
For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear [is] round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,
14 Naye nneesiga ggwe, Ayi Mukama; nga njogera nti, “Oli Katonda wange.”
And I on Thee — I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, 'Thou [art] my God.'
15 Entuuko zange ziri mu mikono gyo; ondokole mu mikono gy’abalabe bange n’abangigganya.
In Thy hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.
16 Amaaso go ogatunuulize omuweereza wo; ondokole n’okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo.
Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness.
17 Ayi Mukama tondeka kuswazibwa, kubanga nkukoowoola; leka abo ababi baswale, era bagalamire emagombe nga basirise. (Sheol h7585)
O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 Akamwa kaabwe akayogera eby’obulimba kasirisibwe, kubanga boogera ebitaliimu ku batuukirivu bo, nga babyogeza amalala n’okunyooma.
Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.
19 Obulungi bwo, bwe waterekera abo abakutya nga buyitirivu, n’obuwa mu lwatu abo abaddukira gy’oli.
How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee,
20 Obalabirira n’obawonya enkwe z’abalabe baabwe, n’obakuuma bulungi mu nnyumba yo, n’ennyombo z’abantu ne zitabatuukako.
Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.
21 Mukama atenderezebwenga kubanga yandaga okwagala kwe okungi, bwe nnali mu kibuga kye baali bazingizza.
Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks.
22 Bwe natya ennyo ne njogera nti, “Ngobeddwa mu maaso go.” Kyokka wampulira nga nkukaabirira n’onsaasira.
And I — I have said in my haste, 'I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,' But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee.
23 Mwagalenga Mukama abatukuvu be mwenna! Mukama akuuma abo abamwesiga, naye ab’amalala ababonereza mu bujjuvu.
Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer.
24 Muddeemu amaanyi mugume omwoyo mmwe mwenna abalina essuubi mu Mukama.
Be strong, and He strengtheneth your heart, All ye who are waiting for Jehovah!
