Zabbuli 37
1 Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Teweeraliikiriranga olw’abantu ababi, so tokwatirwanga buggya abo abakola ebitasaana.
BY DAVID. [ALEPH-BET] Do not fret because of evildoers, Do not be envious against doers of iniquity,
2 Kubanga bagenda kuwotoka ng’omuddo, bafiire ddala ng’essubi ekkalu.
For they are cut off speedily as grass, And fade as the greenness of the tender grass.
3 Weesigenga Mukama okolenga bulungi, onoobeeranga n’emirembe mu nsi n’ofuna ebirungi.
Trust in YHWH, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy faithfulness,
4 Sanyukiranga mu Mukama, anaakuwanga omutima gwo bye gwetaaga.
And delight yourself on YHWH, And He gives to you the petitions of your heart.
5 By’okola byonna byesigamyenga ku Mukama; mwesigenga, anaakukoleranga ky’oyagala.
Roll your way on YHWH, And trust on Him, and He works,
6 Anaayolekanga obutuukirivu bwo ng’omusana, n’obwenkanya bw’ebikolwa byo ne bwakaayakana ng’enjuba ey’omu ttuntu.
And has brought out your righteousness as light, And your judgment as noon-day.
7 Siriikirira awali Mukama, ogumiikirize ng’olindirira ky’anaakola. Tofangayo ng’abalala bafunye ebirungi nga bayita mu kutetenkanya kwabwe okubi.
Be silent for YHWH, and stay yourself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making his way prosperous, Because of a man doing wicked schemes.
8 Tonyiiganga era weewale ekiruyi; teweeraliikiriranga kubanga bivaamu bibi byereere.
Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Do not fret yourself to only do evil.
9 Kubanga ababi balisalibwako, naye abeesiga Mukama baligabana ensi.
For evildoers are cut off, As for those waiting on YHWH, they possess the land.
10 Wanaayitawo akabanga katono ababi baggweerewo ddala; wadde mulibanoonya temulibalabako.
And yet a little [while], and the wicked is not, And you have considered his place, and it is not.
11 Naye abateefu baligabana ensi ne beeyagalira mu ddembe eritatendeka.
And the humble possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.
12 Ababi basalira abatuukirivu enkwe, ne babalumira obujiji.
The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing his teeth against him.
13 Naye Mukama asekerera ababi, kubanga amanyi ng’entuuko zaabwe ziri kumpi.
The Lord laughs at him, For He has seen that his day comes.
14 Ababi basowoddeyo ebitala byabwe ne baleega emitego gy’obusaale, batte abaavu n’abali mu kwetaaga era basaanyeewo abo abatambulira mu kkubo eggolokofu.
The wicked have opened a sword, And they have bent their bow, To cause the poor and needy to fall, To slaughter the upright of the way.
15 Naye ebitala byabwe birifumita mitima gyabwe gyennyini, n’emitego gyabwe egy’obusaale girimenyebwa.
Their sword enters into their own heart, And their bows are shattered.
16 Ebitono omutuukirivu by’alina bisinga obugagga bw’ababi abangi;
Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.
17 kubanga amaanyi g’abakola ebibi galikoma, naye Mukama anaawaniriranga abatuukirivu.
For the arms of the wicked are shattered, And YHWH is sustaining the righteous.
18 Ennaku z’abataliiko kya kunenyezebwa, zimanyibwa Mukama, era omugabo gwabwe gunaabanga gwa lubeerera.
YHWH knows the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is for all time.
19 Mu biseera eby’akabi ebyakatyabaga tebaayongoberenga, ne mu biro eby’enjala banakkusibwanga.
They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And they are satisfied in days of famine.
20 Naye ababi balizikirira; abalabe ba Mukama balifaanana ng’obulungi bwe ttale, era baliggwaawo, baliggwaawo ng’omukka.
But the wicked perish, and the enemies of YHWH, Have been consumed as the preciousness of lambs, They have been consumed in smoke.
21 Ababi beewola, ne batasasula; naye abatuukirivu basaasira era bagaba bingi.
The wicked is borrowing and does not repay, And the righteous is gracious and giving.
22 Abo Mukama b’awa omukisa baligabana ensi, naye abo b’akolimira balizikirizibwa.
For His blessed ones possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off.
23 Mukama bw’asanyukira ekkubo ly’omuntu, aluŋŋamya entambula ye.
The steps of a man [are] from YHWH, They have been prepared, And He desires his way.
24 Ne bw’aneesittalanga, taagwenga wansi, kubanga omukono gwa Mukama gumuwanirira.
When he falls, he is not cast down, For YHWH is sustaining his hand.
25 Nnali muto kati nkaddiye, naye sirabanga batuukirivu nga balekeddwa ttayo, wadde abaana baabwe nga basabiriza ekyokulya.
I have been young, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.
26 Bagaba bingi bulijjo, era baazika ku byabwe n’essanyu. Abaana baabwe banaaweebwanga omukisa.
All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing.
27 Muve mu bibi, mukolenga ebirungi, munaabanga balamu emirembe gyonna.
Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell for all time.
28 Kubanga Mukama ayagala ab’amazima, n’abeesigwa be taabaabulirenga. Banaalabirirwanga emirembe gyonna; naye ezzadde ly’ababi lirizikirizibwa.
For YHWH is loving judgment, And He does not forsake His saintly ones, They have been kept for all time, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.
29 Abatuukirivu baligabana ensi ne babeeranga omwo emirembe gyonna.
The righteous possess the land, And they dwell on it forever.
30 Akamwa k’omutuukirivu koogera bya magezi, n’olulimi lwe lwogera bya mazima.
The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, And his tongue speaks judgment.
31 Amateeka ga Katonda we gali mu mutima gwe, era ebigere bye tebiseerera.
The law of his God [is] his heart, His steps do not slide.
32 Omubi ateega omutuukirivu ng’anoonya okumutta,
The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death.
33 naye Mukama taliganya babi kuwangula, wadde okukkiriza abatuukirivu okusingibwa omusango.
YHWH does not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.
34 Lindirira Mukama n’okugumiikiriza, otambulirenga mu makubo ge; naye alikugulumiza n’akuwa ensi; ababi bwe balisalirwako olikitegeera.
Look to YHWH, and keep His way, And He exalts you to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off—you see!
35 Nalaba omuntu omubi era omukambwe ennyo, naye nga buli ky’akola kimugendera bulungi, ng’agimuse ng’omuti ogukulidde mu ttaka eggimu,
I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,
36 naye teyalwawo n’abula, ne mmumagamaga buli wantu, nga talabikako.
And he passes away, and behold, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!
37 Tunuulira omuntu ataliiko kya kunenyezebwa, wekkaanye oyo omulongoofu; obulamu bwe bunajjulanga emirembe.
Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each [is] peace.
38 Naye aboonoonyi bonna balizikirizibwa; ezzadde ly’ababi lirisaanyizibwawo.
And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.
39 Obulokozi bw’abatuukirivu buva eri Mukama; ye ky’ekigo kyabwe ekinywevu gye baddukira mu kiseera eky’emitawaana.
And the salvation of the righteous [is] from YHWH, Their strong place in a time of adversity.
40 Mukama abayamba n’abalokola; abaggya mu mikono gy’ababi n’abalokola, kubanga gy’ali gye baddukira.
And YHWH helps them and delivers them, He delivers them from the wicked, And saves them, Because they trusted in Him!
