Zabbuli 4
1 Ya mukulu wa Bayimbi. Eyimbibwa n’ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Bwe nkukoowoola onnyanukule, Ayi Katonda wange omutuukirivu. Bwe mba mu nnaku, onnyambe. Onkwatirwe ekisa owulire okusaba kwange.
For the End, a Song of David among [the ]Psalms. When I called upon [him], the God of my righteousness heard me: you have made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and listen to my prayer.
2 Mmwe abaana b’abantu, mulituusa wa okuswazanga ekitiibwa kyange? Mulituusa ddi okugoberera okwagala ebitaliimu, n’okunoonya eby’obulimba?
O you sons of men, how long [will you be] slow of heart? therefore do you love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
3 Naye mutegeere nga Mukama yeerondeddemu abo abamugondera. Bwe nnaamukoowoolanga anampuliranga era anannyanukulanga.
But know you that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
4 Ne bwe munyiiga ennyo, temusaana kwonoona; musiriikirire, mwekebere era mufumiitirize mu mitima gyammwe nga mugalamidde ku bitanda byammwe.
Be you angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what you say in your hearts. (Pause)
5 Muweeyo ebiweebwayo ebisaanidde; era mwesigenga Mukama.
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
6 Waliwo bangi abasaba nti, “Oyongere okutulaga ebirungi, Ayi Mukama, otumulisize omusana gw’amaaso go.”
Many say, Who will show us good things? the light of your countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
7 Ondeetedde essanyu lingi mu mutima gwange erisinga ne lye bafuna mu makungula nga batunuulira ku bibala byabwe ebingi.
You have put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
8 Nnaagalamira ne nneebaka mirembe; kubanga ggwe wekka, Ayi Mukama, ggwe ondabirira akabi ne katantuukako.
I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for you, Lord, only have caused me to dwell securely.
