Zabbuli 33
1 Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Muyimbire Mukama n’essanyu mmwe abatuukirivu; kisaanira abalongoofu okumutenderezanga.
Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
2 Mutendereze Mukama n’ennanga, mumukubire ennyimba ku ntongooli ey’enkoba ekkumi.
Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.
3 Mumuyimbire oluyimba oluggya; musune enkoba ze ntongooli n’amagezi nga bwe muyimba mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka olw’essanyu.
Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4 Kubanga ekigambo kya Mukama kituufu era kya mazima; mwesigwa mu buli ky’akola.
For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.
5 Mukama ayagala obutuukirivu n’obwenkanya. Ensi ejjudde okwagala kwa Mukama okutaggwaawo.
The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.
6 Mukama yayogera kigambo, eggulu ne likolebwa; n’assiza omukka mu kamwa ke eggye lyonna ery’omu ggulu ne litondebwa.
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.
7 Yakuŋŋaanya amazzi g’ennyanja mu ntuumu, agayanja n’agasibira mu masitoowa gaago.
He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses.
8 Ensi yonna esaana etyenga Mukama, n’abantu ab’omu mawanga gonna bamussengamu ekitiibwa;
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.
9 kubanga yayogera bwogezi n’etondebwa, n’alagira n’eyimirira nga nywevu.
For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
10 Mukama asansulula enteekateeka y’amawanga; alemesa abantu okutuukiriza bye bagenderera.
The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
11 Naye enteekateeka za Mukama zibeerawo nga nywevu emirembe gyonna; n’ebigendererwa by’omutima gwe bya lubeerera.
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.
12 Lirina omukisa eggwanga eririna Katonda nga ye Mukama waalyo, ng’abantu baalyo yabalonda babeere bantu be.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!
13 Mukama asinziira mu ggulu n’alaba abaana b’abantu bonna;
The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
14 asinziira mu kifo kye mw’abeera n’alaba abantu bonna abali ku nsi.
From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.
15 Ye y’ategeka ebirowoozo byabwe bonna ne yeetegereza byonna bye bakola.
He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.
16 Tewali kabaka asobola kuwona olw’obunene bw’eggye lye; era tewali mulwanyi ayinza kuwona olw’amaanyi ge amangi.
No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength.
17 Okusuubira embalaasi yokka okukuwanguza olutalo kuteganira bwerere; newaakubadde erina amaanyi mangi naye tesobola kulokola.
A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.
18 Naye amaaso ga Mukama galabirira abo abamutya; abalina essuubi mu kwagala kwe okutaggwaawo,
Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion
19 abawonya okufa, era abawonya enjala.
to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20 Tulindirira Mukama nga tulina essuubi, kubanga ye mubeezi waffe era ye ngabo yaffe.
Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 Mu ye emitima gyaffe mwe gijaguliza, kubanga twesiga erinnya lye ettukuvu.
For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
22 Okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo kubeerenga mu ffe, Ayi Mukama, ng’essuubi lyaffe bwe liri mu ggwe.
May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.
