Zabbuli 32
1 Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Alina omukisa oyo asonyiyiddwa ebyonoono bye ekibi ne kiggyibwawo.
“A psalm of David.” Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is pardoned!
2 Alina omukisa omuntu oyo Mukama gw’atakyabalira kibi kye, ne mu mutima gwe nga temuli bukuusa.
Happy the man to whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile!
3 Bwe nasirikiranga ekibi kyange, ne nkogga, kubanga nasindanga olunaku lwonna.
While I kept silence, my bones were wasted, By reason of 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 dried up, as in summer's drought.
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.
At length I acknowledged to thee my sin, And did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgression to the LORD;” And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin! (Pause)
6 Noolwekyo abaweereza bo bonna abeesigwa bakwegayirire ng’okyalabika; oluvannyuma ebizibu bwe birijja, ng’amazzi ag’amaanyi amangi tebiribatuukako.
Therefore shall every pious man pray to thee, while thou mayst be found; Surely the floods of great waters shall not come near him.
7 Oli kifo kyange mwe nneekweka, ononkuumanga ne situukwako kabi era ononneetooloozanga ennyimba ez’obulokozi.
Thou art my hiding-place; thou preservest me from trouble; Thou compassest me about with songs of deliverance. (Pause)
8 Nnaakulagiranga era ne nkuyigiriza ekkubo mw’onootambuliranga; nnaakuwanga amagezi nga bwe nkulabirira.
I will instruct thee, and show thee the way thou shouldst go; I will give thee counsel, and keep 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 like the horse and the mule, which have no understanding, Whose mouths must be pressed with the bridle and curb, Because they will not come near thee!
10 Ababi balaba ennaku nnyingi; naye abeesiga Mukama bakuumirwa mu kwagala kwe okutaggwaawo.
The wicked hath many sorrows; But he that trusteth in the LORD is encompassed with mercies.
11 Musanyukire mu Mukama era mujaguze mmwe abatuukirivu, era muyimbire waggulu n’essanyu mmwe abalina omutima omulongoofu.
Rejoice in the LORD, and be glad, ye righteous; Shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart!
