Zabbuli 41
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Alina omukisa asaasira omunaku; Mukama amulokola ku lunaku olw’akabi.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.
2 Mukama anaamukuumanga anaawonyanga obulamu bwe, era anaamuwanga omukisa mu nsi; n’atamuwaayo eri okwegomba kw’abalabe be.
Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
3 Mukama anaamujjanjabanga nga mulwadde; n’amuwonya mu bulumi.
Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness.
4 Nayogera nti, “Ayi Mukama onsaasire omponye; kubanga nnyonoonye mu maaso go.”
As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5 Abalabe bange boogeza obukyayi nti, “Alifa ddi n’okwerabirwa ne yeerabirwa?”
Mine enemies wish me evil: When will he die, and his name perish?
6 Bwe bajja okundaba beefuula mikwano gyange; naye munda yaabwe bankyawa era basanyuka okulaba nga ngalamidde awo nnumwa. Bwe bansiibula bagenda beesekera nga bwe baduula.
And if one come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth wickedness to itself: he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].
7 Abalabe bange bonna abo bateesa mu kaama; nga banjogerako ebitali birungi.
All that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt.
8 Boogera nti, “Endwadde emukutte mbi nnyo, emukubye wansi tayinza kuwona.”
A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more.
9 Era ne mukwano gwange gwe neesiganga bwe twalyanga, anneefuukidde.
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I confided, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.
10 Naye ggwe, Ayi Mukama, onsaasire, onzizeemu amaanyi ndyoke nneesasuze.
But thou, Jehovah, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11 Mmanyi ng’onsanyukira, kubanga omulabe wange tampangudde.
By this I know that thou delightest in me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12 Onnywezezza mu bwesimbu bwange, ne mbeera mu maaso go ennaku zonna.
But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
13 Atenderezebwenga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, oyo eyabaawo okuva edda n’edda lyonna n’okutuusa emirembe gyonna.
Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen, and Amen.
