Zabbuli 32
1 Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Alina omukisa oyo asonyiyiddwa ebyonoono bye ekibi ne kiggyibwawo.
Of David. Instruction. Blessed is he [whose] transgression is forgiven, [whose] sin is covered!
2 Alina omukisa omuntu oyo Mukama gw’atakyabalira kibi kye, ne mu mutima gwe nga temuli bukuusa.
Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile!
3 Bwe nasirikiranga ekibi kyange, ne nkogga, kubanga nasindanga olunaku lwonna.
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old, through my groaning all the day long.
4 Wambonerezanga emisana n’ekiro, amaanyi ne ganzigwamu ng’amazzi bwe gakalira mu kyeya.
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. (Selah)
5 Awo ne nkwatulira ekibi kyange, ne sibikkirira kwonoona kwange. Ne njogera nti, “Leka neenenyeze Mukama ebibi byange.” Bw’otyo n’onsonyiwa, n’onziggyako omusango gw’ebibi byange.
I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
6 Noolwekyo abaweereza bo bonna abeesigwa bakwegayirire ng’okyalabika; oluvannyuma ebizibu bwe birijja, ng’amazzi ag’amaanyi amangi tebiribatuukako.
For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.
7 Oli kifo kyange mwe nneekweka, ononkuumanga ne situukwako kabi era ononneetooloozanga ennyimba ez’obulokozi.
Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
8 Nnaakulagiranga era ne nkuyigiriza ekkubo mw’onootambuliranga; nnaakuwanga amagezi nga bwe nkulabirira.
I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel [thee] with mine eye upon thee.
9 Temubeeranga ng’embalaasi oba ennyumbu ezitategeera, ze bateekwa okussa ekyuma mu kamwa ekisibwa ku lukoba, ziryoke zifugibwe zijje gy’oli.
Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee.
10 Ababi balaba ennaku nnyingi; naye abeesiga Mukama bakuumirwa mu kwagala kwe okutaggwaawo.
Many sorrows hath the wicked; but he that confideth in Jehovah, loving-kindness shall encompass him.
11 Musanyukire mu Mukama era mujaguze mmwe abatuukirivu, era muyimbire waggulu n’essanyu mmwe abalina omutima omulongoofu.
Rejoice in Jehovah, and be glad, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye upright in heart.
