Zabbuli 41
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Alina omukisa asaasira omunaku; Mukama amulokola ku lunaku olw’akabi.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” Happy is he who hath regard to the poor! The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
2 Mukama anaamukuumanga anaawonyanga obulamu bwe, era anaamuwanga omukisa mu nsi; n’atamuwaayo eri okwegomba kw’abalabe be.
The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; He shall be happy on the earth; Thou wilt not give him up to the will of his enemies!
3 Mukama anaamujjanjabanga nga mulwadde; n’amuwonya mu bulumi.
The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of disease; All his bed thou wilt change in his sickness.
4 Nayogera nti, “Ayi Mukama onsaasire omponye; kubanga nnyonoonye mu maaso go.”
I said, O LORD! be merciful to me! Heal me, for I have sinned against thee!
5 Abalabe bange boogeza obukyayi nti, “Alifa ddi n’okwerabirwa ne yeerabirwa?”
My enemies speak evil of me: “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.
If one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth malice; When he goeth abroad, he uttereth 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 mischief:
8 Boogera nti, “Endwadde emukutte mbi nnyo, emukubye wansi tayinza kuwona.”
“A deadly disease cleaveth fast unto him; He lieth down, and he shall never arise!”
9 Era ne mukwano gwange gwe neesiganga bwe twalyanga, anneefuukidde.
Yea, my familiar friend in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, —He hath lifted up his heel against me.
10 Naye ggwe, Ayi Mukama, onsaasire, onzizeemu amaanyi ndyoke nneesasuze.
But do thou, O LORD! have pity upon me; Raise me up, that I may requite them!
11 Mmanyi ng’onsanyukira, kubanga omulabe wange tampangudde.
By this I know that thou favorest me, Because my enemy doth not triumph over me.
12 Onnywezezza mu bwesimbu bwange, ne mbeera mu maaso go ennaku zonna.
As for me, thou wilt uphold me in my integrity; Thou wilt set me before thy face for ever!
13 Atenderezebwenga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, oyo eyabaawo okuva edda n’edda lyonna n’okutuusa emirembe gyonna.
[Praised be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. Amen! Amen!]
