Zabbuli 36
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Nnina obubaka mu mutima gwange obukwata ku bwonoonyi bw’omukozi w’ebibi. N’okutya tatya Katonda.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 Ye nga bw’alaba yeewaanawaana n’atasobola kutegeera oba okukyawa ekibi kye.
For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin.
3 Ebigambo ebiva mu kamwa ke biba bibi era nga bya bulimba; takyalina magezi era takyakola birungi.
The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing.
4 Ne ku kitanda kye afumiitiriza ebibi by’anaakola; amalirira okutambuliranga mu kkubo ekyamu, era ebitali bituufu tabyewala.
Even on his bed he plots wickedness; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he fails to reject evil.
5 Okwagala kwo, Ayi Mukama, kutuuka ne ku ggulu; obwesigwa bwo butuuka ku bire.
Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds.
6 Obutuukirivu bwo bugulumivu ng’agasozi aganene, n’obwenkanya bwo buwanvu nnyo ng’ennyanja ennene ennyo. Ayi Mukama, olabirira abantu n’ebisolo.
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Your judgments are like the deepest sea. O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
7 Okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo nga tekugeraageranyizika. Ab’ebitiibwa n’abatali ba bitiibwa baddukira mu biwaawaatiro byo.
How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings!
8 Balya ku bingi eby’omu nnyumba yo ne bakkuta; obawa ebyokunywa by’omugga gwo ogwesiimisa.
They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights.
9 Kubanga gw’olina ensulo ey’obulamu, era gw’otwakiza omusana.
For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.
10 Yongeranga okwagala abo abakutegeera, era n’obutuukirivu bwo eri abo abalina emitima emirongoofu.
Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Ab’amalala baleme okunninnyirira, wadde ababi okunsindiikiriza.
Let not the foot of the proud come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 Laba, ababi nga bwe bagudde! Basuuliddwa wansi era tebasobola na ku golokokawo.
There the evildoers lie fallen, thrown down and unable to rise.
