Zabbuli 37
1 Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Teweeraliikiriranga olw’abantu ababi, so tokwatirwanga buggya abo abakola ebitasaana.
[A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
2 Kubanga bagenda kuwotoka ng’omuddo, bafiire ddala ng’essubi ekkalu.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Weesigenga Mukama okolenga bulungi, onoobeeranga n’emirembe mu nsi n’ofuna ebirungi.
Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and follow after faithfulness.
4 Sanyukiranga mu Mukama, anaakuwanga omutima gwo bye gwetaaga.
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 By’okola byonna byesigamyenga ku Mukama; mwesigenga, anaakukoleranga ky’oyagala.
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass.
6 Anaayolekanga obutuukirivu bwo ng’omusana, n’obwenkanya bw’ebikolwa byo ne bwakaayakana ng’enjuba ey’omu ttuntu.
Add he shall make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Siriikirira awali Mukama, ogumiikirize ng’olindirira ky’anaakola. Tofangayo ng’abalala bafunye ebirungi nga bayita mu kutetenkanya kwabwe okubi.
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Tonyiiganga era weewale ekiruyi; teweeraliikiriranga kubanga bivaamu bibi byereere.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself, [it tendeth] only to evil-doing.
9 Kubanga ababi balisalibwako, naye abeesiga Mukama baligabana ensi.
For evil-doers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the land.
10 Wanaayitawo akabanga katono ababi baggweerewo ddala; wadde mulibanoonya temulibalabako.
For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.
11 Naye abateefu baligabana ensi ne beeyagalira mu ddembe eritatendeka.
But the meek shall inherit the land; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 Ababi basalira abatuukirivu enkwe, ne babalumira obujiji.
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 Naye Mukama asekerera ababi, kubanga amanyi ng’entuuko zaabwe ziri kumpi.
The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
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 drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as be upright in the way:
15 Naye ebitala byabwe birifumita mitima gyabwe gyennyini, n’emitego gyabwe egy’obusaale girimenyebwa.
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 Ebitono omutuukirivu by’alina bisinga obugagga bw’ababi abangi;
Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.
17 kubanga amaanyi g’abakola ebibi galikoma, naye Mukama anaawaniriranga abatuukirivu.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
18 Ennaku z’abataliiko kya kunenyezebwa, zimanyibwa Mukama, era omugabo gwabwe gunaabanga gwa lubeerera.
The LORD knoweth the days of the perfect: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 Mu biseera eby’akabi ebyakatyabaga tebaayongoberenga, ne mu biro eby’enjala banakkusibwanga.
They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 Naye ababi balizikirira; abalabe ba Mukama balifaanana ng’obulungi bwe ttale, era baliggwaawo, baliggwaawo ng’omukka.
But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the excellency of the pastures: they shall consume; in smoke shall they consume away.
21 Ababi beewola, ne batasasula; naye abatuukirivu basaasira era bagaba bingi.
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
22 Abo Mukama b’awa omukisa baligabana ensi, naye abo b’akolimira balizikirizibwa.
For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the land; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
23 Mukama bw’asanyukira ekkubo ly’omuntu, aluŋŋamya entambula ye.
A man’s goings are established of the LORD; and he delighteth in his way.
24 Ne bw’aneesittalanga, taagwenga wansi, kubanga omukono gwa Mukama gumuwanirira.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
25 Nnali muto kati nkaddiye, naye sirabanga batuukirivu nga balekeddwa ttayo, wadde abaana baabwe nga basabiriza ekyokulya.
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging [their] bread.
26 Bagaba bingi bulijjo, era baazika ku byabwe n’essanyu. Abaana baabwe banaaweebwanga omukisa.
All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27 Muve mu bibi, mukolenga ebirungi, munaabanga balamu emirembe gyonna.
Depart from evil, and do good; dwell for evermore.
28 Kubanga Mukama ayagala ab’amazima, n’abeesigwa be taabaabulirenga. Banaalabirirwanga emirembe gyonna; naye ezzadde ly’ababi lirizikirizibwa.
For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 Abatuukirivu baligabana ensi ne babeeranga omwo emirembe gyonna.
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30 Akamwa k’omutuukirivu koogera bya magezi, n’olulimi lwe lwogera bya mazima.
The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom, and his tongue speaketh judgment.
31 Amateeka ga Katonda we gali mu mutima gwe, era ebigere bye tebiseerera.
The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32 Omubi ateega omutuukirivu ng’anoonya okumutta,
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 naye Mukama taliganya babi kuwangula, wadde okukkiriza abatuukirivu okusingibwa omusango.
The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Lindirira Mukama n’okugumiikiriza, otambulirenga mu makubo ge; naye alikugulumiza n’akuwa ensi; ababi bwe balisalirwako olikitegeera.
Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
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 in great power, and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
36 naye teyalwawo n’abula, ne mmumagamaga buli wantu, nga talabikako.
But one passed by, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Tunuulira omuntu ataliiko kya kunenyezebwa, wekkaanye oyo omulongoofu; obulamu bwe bunajjulanga emirembe.
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the latter end of [that] man is peace.
38 Naye aboonoonyi bonna balizikirizibwa; ezzadde ly’ababi lirisaanyizibwawo.
As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together: the latter end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 Obulokozi bw’abatuukirivu buva eri Mukama; ye ky’ekigo kyabwe ekinywevu gye baddukira mu kiseera eky’emitawaana.
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strong hold in the time of trouble.
40 Mukama abayamba n’abalokola; abaggya mu mikono gy’ababi n’abalokola, kubanga gy’ali gye baddukira.
And the LORD helpeth them, and rescueth them: he rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge in him.
