Zabbuli 43

1 Ayi Katonda, onnejjeereze omponye eggwanga eritatya Katonda ondokole mu mikono gy’abantu abalimba, abakola ebibi.

Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, You deliver me from a man of deceit and perverseness,

2 Ddala ddala ggwe Katonda, ekigo kyange eky’amaanyi. Lwaki ondese? Lwaki ŋŋenda nkaaba nga nnyigirizibwa omulabe?

For you [are] the God of my strength. Why have You cast me off? Why do I go up and down mourning, In the oppression of an enemy?

3 Kale tuma omusana gwo n’amazima binnuŋŋamye; bindeete ku lusozi lwo olutukuvu, mu kifo mw’obeera.

Send forth Your light and Your truth, They lead me, they bring me in, To Your holy hill, and to Your dwelling places.

4 Ne ndyoka ndaga ku kyoto kya Katonda, eri Katonda wange era essanyu lyange eritasingika. Weewaawo nnaakutenderezanga n’ennanga, Ayi Katonda, Katonda wange.

And I go to the altar of God, To God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank You with a harp, O God, my God.

5 Lwaki wennyise ggwe emmeeme yange? Lwaki otabusetabuse munda yange? Weesige Katonda; kubanga nnaamutenderezanga, Omulokozi wange era Katonda wange.

Why bow yourself, O my soul? And why are you troubled within me? Wait for God, for I still confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
